My head is spinning. What exactly is the purpose of doing this with multiple accounts? And congratulations on your success.

Problem fixed, I bumped the Black Monday thread for y'all

Resurrecting this thread since I'm short index puts over the weekend

Scott Barrie of CFEA did some good work refuting COT as a reliable indicator; I think he has a TASC article floating around which you can google for. I have no interest in picking a bone with you, if you have a quantifiable edge using COT in the S&P, keep it to yourself and trade up a storm...

Agree completely, COT makes for some good market folklore until you test it with rigorous statistics. Commercials almost always fade moves; it doesn't mean they're accumulating a position of course, they're going to take the other side of paper, then arb and/or hedge off the risk with spot...

Plant some corn husks in your backyard?

No worries mate, if we blow through the S&P MA, we can still cheer on the Dow and NDX!

I wouldn't call 40 handles off the 1455 low a "limp", but I know exactly what you're saying Austin, most of the squeezes when the market is under duress are downright wacky... in the time it takes for you to move your mouse over a price in the dome it's already shot up 5 handles higher. This one...

Good call Spec, we're in a big vacuum here between 55-70 ES, 200dma buyers come in at the low end, and cash supply from Friday shows up above 70. PM's should be getting a decent handle now on weekend redemptions vs. 401k inflows; we'll see how antsy they are when we trade the low end of...

I'm scared to be short the ES @ 1458

Advantageous tax treatment, overnight liquidity, there's no vig on overnight margin trades. Commission depends on your situation, I would assume ES is better for retail unless you have some plan that lets you move huge size in SPY for a flat fee.

"By Nick Godt, MarketWatch Last Update: 12:01 AM ET Jul 28, 2007 NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stocks will continue to fall next week, in continuation of a sell-off that saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average experience its worst week in over four years, due to nervousness that the easy-money...

Cash SPX 200dma comes in around 1447, futures basically traded there on the close considering the 10 point discount. Being the first test in a raging bull market, we should get a tradeable bottom somewhere between there and 20 S&P points lower; where that goes after the initial bounce (it...

It ain't priceless, in fact a NYMEX seat is worth about $7 mil, down about $4 mil from a few months ago. Trend is your friend? Sure, we need the floor for spreads and more arcane institutional stuff, but technology will fill the void in due time. If anything, today was a good example of how...

TY

Mini crude is definitely trading, I assume on Globex - I just can't access it for some reason. Easiest hedge is probably USO at this point.

Anyone have an update on this? Looks like the mini crude is ticking around, but I can't get access from my broker.

Spare us with this hokey troll drivel. You're making decisions on a 50 lot based on Globex DOM at some arbitrary overnight hour? I suppose if someone spoofs a 3000 car bid at 2am you'll get mega-bullish and double down?

Usual translation of manipulation = "I" got whipsawed or didn't catch the move. I find it ironic that Jeff says to buy fear, yet when someone else bought fear on Wednesday, it's somehow a contrived move. And thanks for the profound advice regarding momentum on the downside from here being...

Far too generous
