    My option trades

    Well the QQQ index is online. So you can get the index numbers from a chart. As to money changing prices, I wouldn´t have that. The amount of premium change depends on the VIX number. With a bull trend that number is usually low. There hasnt been enough volatility to get the...

    I kinda wondered if the NY Exchange took a holiday on a religion for tomorrow. Just checked. Tomorrow is a holiday and NY will be closed. I´m surprised? Wonder how many religions are recognized for holidays?

    Jeff I like the idea of betting a two to one the way you do it. Not sure how that would work in the QQQ? I took my loss in the PUTS. I did have a bit of a profit once, but it was not enough to take and I let it ride for a while. So my loss turned out to be -$108 with commissions...

    Not sure how you figure that reward to risk ratio Jeff? I´m still sitting on my 3 PUTs, but it is very close to being closed for a loss. In the meantime, I entered a calendar. 1 Calendar QQQ 67 April 2/ April 1 Call @.41 cents. Wanted to see if I have it entered right...

    My option trades

    Looking from the viewpoint of my own system. You were premature with your entry. You apparently according to my reading, got suckered with a small false breakout. I dont quite know how your system reads, but I trade hourly charts and if I trade on a signal within the hour, because it looks...

    My option trades

    Bought 3 67 QQQ PUTS at $2.25 Wanted 10 contracts this morning, but got a signal and I´m not at all sure down is the way to go? So I decided to be careful with just 3 contracts in PUTS as I´m really looking for CALLS. We are touching last week´s low. Not yet penetrated.

    Jeff I don´t see anything happening in less than 2 or 3 hours, as to a decision time. So time to go make my breakfast here and do my leisurely abolutions. It´s 8:18 a.m. by my Wednesday morning clock on the computer. Cloudy day outside my open front door, so cannot judge the time by...

    My option trades

    Jeff I imagine your sweating your CALLS right now? I´ve been comparing the SPY readings to my standard QQQ. SPY of course swings harder than the QQQ. I get readings on SPY on my system, when I don´t show anything on the QQQ, QQQ right now is sort of sideways, and the...

    My option trades

    Yes! I´ve run those kind of scenarios myself. Trying to calculate the best way to bet. Nowadays, if I lose one, I drop back to one contract. Otherwise this past week, I was 6 contracts and this week moving to 10 contracts. My 6 contracts last week, I staggered into it. 3 contracts...

    babu I was just looking at the EXCEL printout for the trades of JEFF. He has an attachment on it. Really, what I wanted was a line graph, showing my equity, up and down business to repaste elsewhere, likke my BLOG. Didn´t know there was another way of doing a line graph, other than...

    Just ran SPY Then I noticed a $2 option whereas I trade 3 rd month and that was expensive.s ( $5 ) After going back to this message of yours, realized you were trading front month, which is more active immediately. Also looked at my system and could trade the SPY presumably in front...

    Scott and Mo Am going to have to chew on that one a bit. Get back to you. Jeff Congratulations on your upgraded trading system. Will take another look at SPY over this week. Glad to see you made your money. I still do not have an entry yet. I was aware that SPY swing wider...

    04-02-12 02:42 PM Been reading trying to find an explanation of the long buttefly. It seems to be the lower is a credit spread and the higher is a debit spread. Can you confirm this for me please? Two sold options are ATM. ___________________________________...

    My option trades

    I agree with you there will be an upmove of some small sort. Bottom fishing is a good way to accumulate this I would expect. On your candlesticks. Yes, my own system, predicts an upmove. I´m simply trading the weekly bar. I´m just waiting for it to actually happen. I show more...

    My option trades

    Jeff I kind of thought of averaging down, in bottom fishing, accumulation so to speak. Even of doubling up each time. But I finally decided to wait for a breakout and then just pile it on. In the QQQ I am not expecting a rise of more than .30 to .50 cents for this week. That...

    My option trades

    I´m waiting for a bottom in QQQ. With your order for SPY I wondered if you had an early signal or something? On checking I didn´t see anything yet, more than a range bound type undecided market? I´m not really expecting a turnaround before tomorrow, or Wednesday? Could happen of...
