ok here is a mea culpa and an actual trade from me...after I grumpily closed out most of my weekly positions this am before open. BTO a 1670ES call (exp Friday) @ 2.4 so this is my stop..have an order to go short ES at 1669.25 or there abouts..if hit will close at 5-10 pts profit and rinse...

My apologies then...I was just a bit cranky...had a medical procedure which caused me to sleep thru all the action...at least thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it. Your right travelwander I contribute about as much as you do! I could make calls but they are never completely naked as I have...

Not to pick on you...(but I am) you are a real piece of work. Since 7/3 assuming you are trading one contract you are down over 100pts while ES is up 60 (give or take)...thats sucky. I can only conclude you are paper trading so you don't really give a shit. This thread really has gone to the...

Well...I`m not hung over but on the west coast on vacation so of course slep thru all the excitement. The 1615 straddle is looking pretty good so I'll let it expire and accept either a long or short assignment. Went ahead with selling a put on the 1615 weekly to go with the short 1625 call...

Not looking so hot this am....also I closed my long 1620 for 2 pts..yuck..but will see how it plays out.:(

:p

OMG I cant believe you actually said this. Your NOT trying to prove how prescient your price drivers are and your "followers" are so fortunate that you are sharing those divine calls. I think I need to hurl.

noooo...I didn't say timing on this call was poor...just responding to YOUR statement that your timing isn't always on. Anywhoo not being a troll at all...just stereo Donna's:) all in good spirit.

TIMING is everything IMO....seriously everyone including my mother will be correct about their market opinion SOMETIME during this year! Making money is more than....... accurate "predictions"....it requires very good timing. uhmm today? Market went up (you were wrong) market went down (you...

If it walks like a duck............ :)

I'm a bit skiddish. For this week I currently have a 1615 short straddle on with a long 1620 call and trading the cash short (selling around 1610 and buying back around 1605-1600). I did short next weeks 1625 call on when we were trading around in the high teens...but waiting to see how this...

you quit watching and all the excitment happens:D

Arn't Bollinger bands considered TA? Why do you have them on your screen?

Ummm..I think he actually does mean charter....

since there was a touch of 1593 yesterday evening I would NOT call it the worst "call" in trading history:D ...actually pretty good a little early and 3 pts shy of an actual hit.... not to mention Monday is not over....

In general you want at least 2 rolls for your money...however if you do just a one month calendar you can allow the front month to expire OTM and hang on to the back month. There is an obvious risk to that. TOS has an excellent way to calculate all possible outcomes. Simply if you sell xyz...

Neke I know you take comission costs into consideration in showing net gain but have you totaled the cost of comission and compared what you are paying with what it would cost at IB?

Since you are keeping a public journal do you find yourself a little more conservative in your trading? oh and a bit personal but I assume English is not your native language, do you use a translation computer program or is your English really this good:) Kudo's

On the ES options I've had filled orders 100pts ITM and 200 pts OTM...even when there was no bid showing. It is very liquid.
