You may want to rewind to an earlier post of mine. The bounce from today hit my projected low to the EXACT TICK off of a daily chart. If thats not market timing, I dont know what is. Still looking to go short if market moves fast enough into my R zone to retest a 78.6 of the lows or a left...

A little early to the table RM, the short term bottom is at 57.80 on the QM, if it can make it down there within the next week. The earlier buy zone could also work out as well. All in all, the market is impulsing down, just waiting for a decent bounce to short.

You obviously are always getting into a trade to late if you need to see bars being completed or breakouts etc... I always know my entries and most exits before the day even begins, for swing trading and daytrading. Yes, I like to catch the falling knife, but I always add on with a local...

Anyone have any experiences on trading these spreads on the big SP futures? Are there any benefits to trading these over the SPX other than leverage?

Does your backtest include actual filled prices back from 2001 or does it just use the open and close on the day of the transaction? I have been successful using some specific screeners as well, the market hedge is the problem. I was just allocating a certain % shorting the spy, but in the end...

If tomorrow we slowly impulse up like we have been doing the past few days I am shorting a kaboodle of es futures at 1315-1318. I doubt we get up there, but its the sweet spot for max exhaustion. I am expecting a range reduction day with low volume choppy trading. Good day to take off and get...

I find the max pain on the indices is usually not as accurate as the equities. I usually do about 20-30 of the big stocks and get my bias for friday from there. Anyone else have any other quirks when determining max pain?

waiting to buy a small piece at 580 ill take your shorts

I put a 1315-1325 bear call on 2 fridays ago at the morning highs and took out half on the most recent pullback for %80 of my credit. The remaining half I converted into a 1305-1315-1325 butterfly for a .10 credit. If spx closes above above 1305 and below 1315, dinner is on me! Looks like its...

Going to be a mighty big loss if you placed your stop above 660 pivot.....

I agree with millenium, the downside seems much more limited to the upside, we probably chop around for a bit and stop ejay out and ultimately make another wave down to wash the weak longs. Long term I am bullish, I just rode up this recent wave and banked in on a 30% gain so I dont want to get...

I will take any shares you have short at the blue zones

If all your anaylsis is a symmetrical triangle to determine a collapse of gold..... good luck guys.

Grid anaylsis is my daily routine of taking an overall picture of the market. First starting with weekly, daily, 81 minute and then 15 minute. I see which timeframes are impulsing and look for confluence and divergence between the different timeframes. Looking at waves, overlapping pivot...

Using my grid anaylsis, I have been hitting homeruns with these spreads for the past few months. Thanks for all the input from coach and others on all the nuances of these spreads. I was just wondering if anyone has had any success doing these on any other instruments? I am liking nat gas...

Good question Jennie. I have been struggling with some quick intraday trading strats to help me sit through a few extra ticks of noise when trading the index futures. The best I have come up with is selling atm puts when market is crashing into your buy zone and buying atm puts when market...

If you think you can use a sim to produce good results for live trading your in for shock. I have done many systems, auto and manual that take that many trades per day and the Real trades didnt even match 1/4 of the profits of the sim. Good luck with that, you will suffer a drawdown...

I have been doing these spreads for a few months now with TOS and am come to the conclusion that the midpoint is utter crap. I have asked .50 or more less than the mid on many occassions and still no fill on the SPX. The market seems to always be at least .25 off from the midpoint! Anyone...

Flint you are set for august... you might as well go on vacation. You may want to look at some cheap spy calls to hedge your bear call though while we lurk around these lows.
