This is an EOD 15min with the bars and a couple of "signals"..if you sold at the worst part of the signal bar this am and bought at the highest pt of the sell you would have made about 6 pts..ok I guess

here the arrow appears The times are the forgotten time zone MDT...add two hrs for Eastern...notice the red arrow(buy) appears right after 11AM (Eastern) but just 4 bars later the green arrow (sell) appears

another...how do you do more than one chart in a post?

here are the charts

:D I decided to try out a trade using Parabolic SAR (.02,0.2)with the crossover "signal" up down arrows) this AM using the 5 min chart. I was looking for a long scalp of perhaps 5 pts and given the vol felt that would be do able. I ended up putting the trade on a good half hr before it...

gutsy trade there kid..exit?

wow..thanks LC

ty:)

NoD..if I could pick your brain. If the price falls under the trendline EON posted...what is the probability of CL going back to the mid 90's? tia

+1...kinda my thinking neg right now...short term I do think 60's even 50's possible but the decline has been pretty orderly. looking for some long scalps..in my mind NQ's are much more vulnerable to a more significant drop.

oh...you ARE here:D

You should be at the bar and grill celebrating! nice trade.:)

JMO futures do not lend themselves to long term...anything..simply because of their structure (rolling over). Your better off in the ETFs, or stock for that purpose. If your time frame is less..... daily, weekly even monthly then futures are great for the smaller trader. 100K would be a...

not exactly a great week for the "green machine"...are you thinking of tweeking it a bit?

Your giving me more respect than I deserve! I have done put backspreads as a specific trade with mixed results. I'm definitely not an expert. Riskattydrownpruf is more experienced and has done what he (and others) call pitchforks..sort of a complicated put/call backspread kind of thing...

This has been a very frustrating week for me as I also (normally) find the opportunity to place trades about an hr before - 1st hr of trading but so far this week every AM I have been unable to be at my trading desk so have missed much of the really good moves. While what I've done is important...

hummm...may be not :D however we didn't tank either...still early in the week though...

Took a peek at my 4 hr ES chart to see we have begun a climb on both the slow and fast stoch so bullish for a day or two? I'll post a chart later.

A 12-17 move in the vix WAS pretty strong...however...only relatively. I rememberer (as do you) when 22 vix was "low" and we saw..30, 50 70!!! in 2008-2009; Again to me the VIX is a "relative" measure of the fear or complacency in the market and until we start seeing 20's 30's in the VIX I...

VIX can and does often go up when market goes up. I'm using it as a relative measure. Op ex..rebalancing etc all are factors. My most important measure is MY overall delta risk. Right now since Im neg delta in my overall positions I need to buy calls or sell puts and Im comfortable doing so...
