oh god i'm kicking myself for not paying attention this morning. I'm hoping for a bounce to 92.80 to jump on the train otherwise it's gonna be a really long weekend.

http://www.businessinsider.com/the-pope-on-the-financial-system-inequality-money-2013-11 He complains a lot but I don't hear any constructive ideas as to how to change the path.

I've read this entire thread but still didn't see anyone answer the NFL question without cheating. I don't even know how many players are on a team but my guess would be 15,000 with a 30%-50% confidence interval. I probably should have failed econometerics so I forget what a confidence...

You were right old mo couldn't be contained. The old me would have said ahh it's just a momentum overshoot buy more! The new me says lets get out and wait and see if it gets back in the channel.

All great points! This is a lot like the 1st couple of months this year. And even though there is a lack of premium built into prices I sell directionally skewed strangles and try to make my direction match the directional move that will cause a spike in IV so I'm losing out with IV going up...

I love how he said yeah the algorithm worked ok so I started with 2 mil, like he just had it in the ash tray of his car. Or did he turn his 250k he made in high school into 2 million during 2 years of college? Either way good for him.

I don't know if it will happen tomorrow but I feel like there will be a bull trap pop just above 96 before we start going back down. At this point I'm only holding a few feb puts. I unwound the jan short portion of my spread through out today with volatility in the shitter once again. So even...

Taking the loss on the outright at .70 and leaving the spread alone. I'm feeling conflicted since the bounce didn't happen so we'll try again tomorrow. Guess that is what I get for being cocky:p

There is no other trade compared to another they are all working under a master plan. And if that level was broken I would be adjusting the spread anyway. Having the underlying trade on muddies the risk water a bit but with the utter lack of volatility and even change in volatility I need to...

I'm looking to take an outright long at 93.80 then add to it at 94.23 and take profits at 94.70. Can we just fast forward the day and give me my money now. If it goes below 93.60 I'll alter my calendar spread to neutralize my downward risk. So no real stop.

are "they" getting the inv number 45 mins before everyone now? Kind of strange for a wednesday for all this action before 1030.

I'm confused. The original trade idea behind this thread is based on something that could take a week or more to play out and people are jumping on this guy because it doesn't happen instantly. When something is in a channel like this there are a many opportunities in both directions so why...

Yup that pretty much sucked. Today I'm targeting 94.70 and 92.80 but I'm using some convoluted option strategy so it doesn't make good message board material.

I started when I was 17 but lucky for me it was 1998. It really is the best time to start because you don't generally need any money to live on so there is no pressure. It sounds like you already have your heart set on technical trading but at your age you have the advantage of waiting for...

Moved stop to 93.74.

outright long at 93.42 stop 93.18 target 94.20

Well said, be patient with the entry not with the exit.

Wake up V this is where you might want to take a long shot on the Nikkei. Only problem is the yen looks iffy and could be bouncing. Shit just buy both. If I can formulate a coherent plan I will put the plan in action no matter what it is. Right now I'm loving the aussie and hating the...

the euro is toast. Maybe not today maybe not tomorrow but toast none the less.

Some people need to be yelled at or slapped on their head to stick to their plan. I guess that would be one advantage of working at a firm. He should elaborate on his trade ideas so we know the plan and can slap him if he fucks up.
