Once again, Daal ( and Scriabinop23 ) are the only ones that turn their brains on ( or have a brain for that matter ) when it comes to posting on ET. Thanks again guys for the good read. Have a great Weekend! :)

What freaking market were you watching today??? The SPYs' went out on the high of the day! Sounds like you are "talking" your position . . . Good Luck with that. :D

HUGE end of day squeeze in the futures as no one wants to be short with possible "bail-out" news over the weekend. SPY from 87.51 at 3:56PM to . . . 89.20 High at 4:13PM Wow! :eek:

Wow, yet another crazy 17-handle "rip-job" back to the upside, 88.45 SPY. Unreal. :eek:

:eek: :D

Breaking lower . . . 86.30 target for a measured A-B-C in the SPY. Just traded 86.67 and bounced a bit.

Hmmmmmm... That's a toughie. I'm gonna say a very small "landing" strip. :D

Melissa has quite the "C-sucking" lips today, that is for sure! :D

Full Moon tonight! And Bradley cycle on Sunday. Looks like it is already having an effect on market participants . . . Open lower, rally all the way back to unchanged, back and fill for awhile, and then sell-off again. Wash, rinse, repeat! :D

Thank You.

Thank You. S&P just went positive at 12:38pm. :)

No, but then again stock index arbs didn't need an "uptick" to short baskets of stock while buying the futures as a "hedge". These program trades were relentless during the week of the 1987 Crash due to the oh-so-attractive "discounts" that were occurring on the futures side of the equation due...

Interesting discussion for sure . . . but let me get this straight Pabst: The connection between VELOCITY and a prohibited down-tick was "spurious" during the October 1987 Crash even though the S&P futures went to incredible discounts that then allowed for stock-index arbs to come in and buy...

Are you kidding? How do you think that an ETF reflects the actual index?

You guys are totally forgetting about the equity derivative trading desks that are doing HUGE program trades ( baskets ) of stock for themselves and customers, some of which is done in a facilitory capacity ( principal vs agency trades ). One push of a button on a Sun Workstation and millions...

That's hard to believe. Something on your end must be very wrong. What Ameritrade platform are you on, Apex? How long have you noticed this discrepancy? How long have you been using Ameritrade's platform? What kind of Internet connection are you running?

It's not about the "news" . . . it's about how the marketREACTS to the "news" that is important. The market had 4 straight up days during day after day of bad news from TXN, FDX, etc before profit-taking took over on Thursday afternoon. Many of the steel, coal, energy, fertilizer, and oil...

Duh. I realize that. The point that I am making is that the posts in the current TRADING FORUM would be much more valuable if people displayed some charts and used actual support/resistance levels to substantiate their opinions and claims. When was the last time you actually saw an OP in...

The server that provides quotes for Level-2 is separate ( and different ) from the server that is providing what are called "Level-1" quotes which you are seeing displayed in your portfolio pages and charts. The Level-2 prices via Ameritrades;s "streamer" frequently "lag" what is actually...
