Coach Do you watch CNBC?. Do you keep track of fundamentals?.

Great going,coach. I admire the way you calmly put on a trade in the right time unlike me whos edgy and jumping the gun.I guess its like learning to drive.Once it becomes an unconcious habit, i can ride this all my life.:) So, you have 50% of your portfolio in ETFs and the remaining 50% you...

Guess you are right.

I bought some 123/122 debit spreads(15cents each) for hedging purpose.My position is 1215/1205 credit $1. Maybe i can sell them for $.50 when the IV is high.And buy them back when it is low.If i repeat this by the time SPX comes to around 1220, i would have probably offset most of the loss.

wow its comming down real hard.Guess the short term rally was a counter trend.

Hey thanks. this is a great site.:)

Is there any corelation between SPX futures and SPX index?. Is that how our coach daytrades the E-mini?.

Coach I am reading cottle's hidden reality. Most of it is going over my head but i am getting greater insights into MMs perspective. Now, i know where you get some of your lines like, "i tried to be cute". :)

Market is not doing much. are we back to normal or is market waiting for some important news?. Maybe because my brain got used to so much action, that today seems dull.

IWM is for RUT like SPY is for SPX, right?. :(

Cache I use OX and IB for charting and trading respectively.I have no idea about TOS. If its not too much trouble, i would like to hear more about it.thanks

Cashe landing ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last night my analysis showed that I would need +10 points and -200 basis point drop in IV to get filled at 2.00 on the adjacent 1245/1255 bear put. That happened this morning...
