hate to say it but I sure hope your stopped out!:cool:

last gasp fill at 82.5 short...plan cover 76..probably stupid trade.

OK...getting paranoid here :mad: I KNOW someone is looking at my computer...wanted to get short at 82.25...missed by a tick...missed the earlier trade by a tick..sheesh..too bad its raining and nothing else to do but trade:(

xled...moving on to another trade..oh well

short 83.25...if we get there. Cover 76..willing to take 5pts of heat. With oil down 2.8 suggest Syria is becomming non issue. SPX chart looks like a positive week going into Exp week.

I don't either...Builder. Hats off to anyone that got long early (last night). I have a short 51 that I'm looking to hedge off by selling a put, but just don't see any rational for a 17 pt gain today. Until oil comes down more and there is some...some....clarification on Syria I'm pretty...

Tennis:D

Thanks! so much for that theory! I had it backwards anywhoo..:p

heard the other day...buy Rosh Hashanah sell Yom kippur...(or was it the other way around). Any thoughts on that? It seems to me with ES being a WORLD wide 24/6 contract the Jewish holidays would't have much effect but dunno.

shooter, I'm with TOS/TDameritrade...so even more onerous commission structure than IB, one of the reasons I switched to straight futures options...keeping risk the same it reduced my comm costs. As was pointed out if you do stick to spy options I don't see a great risk of any broker going...

Sunday overnight may be even more interesting. Took a long trade near the low but am short at 51 right now. The plunge suggests to me the market "wants" to go down. There is fear, but what really suggests headwinds I think is the price of oil. At 110 if gas prices rise then consumers are...

shooter I would be shocked if that were true (not an IB client)..I have found ES options/spreads very easy to trade and get mid price, so agree if you only trade SPY....go to ES. If you are naked then sometimes the margin requirements are squirrely, but if you only spread then you should be fine.

Your right builder...exp Friday....14 pt swing.....easy peezy

Very nice trading and prob smart to stay flat. I got flat for this week as well.

I can't trade the YM or the NQ...just don't have a good feel for it. I know some people do trade NQ, ES as a pair trade sometimes. I've tried but not really well. While I do note the divergence ex: a strongly lower NQ, slightly higher YM ..then the ES is more likely to be volatile, a day like...

numbnut was actually short 54.25....filled...will buy back 48 gtc.. done for the day

holding pattern until Beige Book????

here you go..pic is worth 1000 words..last week net delta position on esu3 was +160ish p/l open are just that...current trades that are open..closed trades not shown.

my ES options book of holding trades

wow..glancing at the daily I think we may have another leg up:eek: my deltas have now switched from + to - I'm shorting 55 if we get there but long the 60-65 weekly vert.
