guess not...thanks new..

:)

except of course the United States...between 1961-1971 "Agent Orange is the combination of the code names for Herbicide Orange (HO) and Agent LNX, one of the herbicides and defoliants used by the U.S. military as part of its chemical warfare program, Operation Ranch Hand, during the Vietnam...

unfortunately they don't come with "mini" commissions...so for my money pretty worthless until brokers change their pricing structure.

gutsy call...hummm reminds me of someone else:p

nice uptrend? The sell is a close on a long...lots of positive deltas to sell if we do go higher...

"IMPLIES" is the operative word...Newwurld is exactly right. You need lots of money for this lousy way to trade. LEAPS are usually overpriced anyway because they are so far out. Its always tempting and if the stock does EXACTLY what you project and your management of the trade FLAWLESS only...

Thanks

Machine...not man:p Question for Green Alpha...does your algo have an adjustment mechanism for macro events such as Syria or Cyprus problems (a major default somewhere etc..) Or is the algo pure stats? thanks.

nice...almost like a Pitchfork...:) ....then again a PF with wings?

8/27 Looking at the daily the SPX looks like it really wants to touch 50...took a breather at 38 and another at 45. I was long 2 ES at 50 and 33. Sold one at 43 and looking to short next weeks 50 but need a touch of 48 to do it. cross currents are really strong..will tomorrow be quiet...

Exactly...just buying the put for me is more of a longer term trade. When I buy a call or put as a stop then I'm expecting to make several short term(day trades) of the cash. The option I expect (hope) to lose money on since it is basically insurance.

I know you didn't ask me...but...the call option IS the stop loss, so I go short @ 1634 ...buy a weekly say 1650 , that is my stop loss if ES closes above that on Fri my short is covered. You have to go out pretty far to buy a cheap option and if it does get covered by Fri then you have a...

A 16 handle vix is not indicative of "panic " selling. Unless it doubles I'm still buying the dips. Without Syria market had a reasonable chance to go higher into Labor Day weekend.

Yes..however it is much harder when it is a slow and tedious loss due to the slow crawl. Somehow it is easier to close out a position when it turns against you FAST. When its a slow bleed much harder as you keep rationalizing it will change.

YES..I know I have experienced it and its paralyzing because at the time I just didn't have a clue how to balance my trading to minimize the effects...finally giving up and taking a huge loss:(

Osho I'll second the ES...when I first tried them (06, 07) they were not as liquid and more difficult to fill. The way risk is measured is different as well. The past two years the action is all in the ES. I was still trading SPX in the IRA so I had a good comparison. It has been much much...

Peilth I actually agree that for most single women with 2 young children she is better off staying home with them and collecting welfare than working for $10 an hour, and the kids are usually better off...assuming she is not on drugs or supporting a druggie BF. The biggest problem IMO with...

FREE and easily available contraception and abortion services would drastically reduce the number of babies mouths to feed....in the meantime WE as a society are responsible for feeding those mouths.
