    How to short the S&P using options? Day & swing puts

    At least my UVXY daytrading is looking good today :D If I had bought SPY puts for daytrading today would that have worked, too?

    Handling Gaps that go Against you -- trading strategies?

    Right, now I'm focusing on UVXY TZA for inverse daytrading and SOXL for long bias. Market did exactly what I said it was which is a false breakout upside morning bounce followed by lots of selling, just like Friday - piece of freaking cake. Will aggressively trade UVXY if afternoon run...

    How to short the S&P using options? Day & swing puts

    One key skill that takes years of practice to get better at and is very helpful, is to be able to recognize outlier high volatility pattern setups where you at a very clear advantage. I like that analogy about environment, much like you can be a great trader but if you're trading a choppy chart...

    good to know information for new traders

    Great points, again the one thing I learned from a technical trading standpoint about markets is avoid trading much when the stock market is trading inside the previous day's range and the same for anything your trading, mainly because institutional volume and volatility is much stronger outside...

    Headfakes and Volatile Reversals Ahead: Ye Olde Dragons

    Next week should be very volatile, looking forward to it. Remember Friday's false breakout? Lol I fully expected it and traded accordingly (traded UVXY starting very close to lod, also TZA) Tips: - the market usually reverses near 10 a.m. daily, give or take a few minutes. So I almost never...

    Handling Gaps that go Against you -- trading strategies?

    Good points.... I'm long a few hundred UVXY, how would you guys play it if it gaps down against me to say 21? Or gaps up to 25? I'll be exiting in several trades either way

    How to short the S&P using options? Day & swing puts

    Agree -- Volatility and range (with risk mgmt) is everything :D Not squiggly line t/a etc .... the main use of charts is to show trend and more important, range and directional volatility. Many don't get it. As I say, the math is more important than charts. And I've had sports cars...

    Handling Gaps that go Against you -- trading strategies?

    Right re UVXY holding through gap down worked out. The CLOV chart is just an example of a gap down continuation. Looking for ideas in case inverses gap down tomorrow. My plan is: - if they gap down premkt and keep trending down before the bell I'll sell all. Will rebuy if they go back up...

    How to short the S&P using options? Day & swing puts

    Thanks! Excellent example, well thought out. Good points re buying power and leverage differences vs spxu/etfs. I also really like your point re max stop cost is built in eg if it expires worthless, vs managing etf s/l exits. Still not clear though on what exactly to buy, eg what put at what...
