Also, with a clear mind, it's possible that GDX touches 24, slv trades 20.5, and Gld at like 124.

Fills were 2.00 on the TLT calls. 1329.30 on the MGC. 1.68 on the GDX. Nothing like getting flat. It rights all wrongs and resets the game. Should have done that sooner. :D

Lol, it helped. I'm exiting everything as I thought maybe we would garner some kind of bounce today but it looks fruitless. More than likely after a day like today we open down or poorly again tomorrow and I'm not going to hold it over the weekend as that would be too risky. Sucks because I...

No worries and I'll gladly take the criticism. I have no delusions of perfection. I'm probably going to start peeling some off today even if I'm still bullish as obviously the market is telling me, harshly, that I'm wrong. More than likely, I'll pull some if not all of the short puts as I...

Still in my MGC long and still liking gold here. Obviously wish my timing had been better on the puts I sold but will watch today's action and not come to a hasty conclusion. Hard to really determine anything from this early price action because of the fat finger or manipulation last night. I...

Double down BRO!!!! It can't keep going higher! For reals though, time to hit the eject button and bail on this bitch.

Wasn't able to post it in real time because I was kind of busy today with things outside of trading. I did not add to my gdx position but I did get long 4 TLT Oct. 103 calls for 1.80. I still think the indices are a short here and will be looking to sell weakness tomorrow if I can. I also...

Out of my ES put at 8.50.

Will be looking for weakness in the overall market today as well as some strength in the gold market to confirm what appears to possibly be a swing low in the PM's today. Still sitting in my open positions and just sold 3 Oct. $26 gdx puts for 1.13 and will be looking to add some calls to...

Aud/usd

lol

Didn't add anything and will hold my positions into the Obama talk tonight. Normally, I wouldn't do this but I A) Have profits left in my gold long, which is a freeroll from prior profits, and B) I think both markets are so oversold/ overbought that any news could only help my positions and not...

My head hurts.... :) Spreads are super wide here but I would try to get out at a reasonable price on the strike touch.

Good man. It takes more to admit we need to step back then it ever takes to place a trade. For funsies, since I've started to get interested in flies I'm paper trading the 475/490/505 put fly at 3.71 mid. Thought about throwing it down as a 1 lot but said meh and I'm going to wait until I...

I may enter a one or two lot position here on gdx or slw as a play on the miners. Starting to get really oversold and are coming into support. Edit: Bot 1 Sept. 20 1675 put for 12.50 Back in as I like the short here and it's not a rushed entry like this morning. I've learned over the...

Bot 1 ES Sept. 20 1675 put for 13.00 Open positions: Long 2 mgc from 1285 Long 1 ES Sept. 20 1675 put at 13.00 Edit: Exited the put at 12.00 as I'm going to just sit and watch but may re-enter. I just don't want to get caught in a moonshot higher.

This is the kind of price action that I have been waiting on, and sitting on my hands for the last couple days. Looks like the market has made the decision that it's time to sell gold/ bonds and buy stocks because good times are here again. I think the market has it wrong this time and that...

If you understood options greeks you would realize why that is always relevant.

I would also hazard to say that if OP is going to be doing intraday trading he should just stick to trading the underlying. I can't see very many strategies where trading ATM spy options would have a benefit over trading ES or SPY equity. I mean options are so much more than just a pure bet on...

We can agree to disagree. :) I also want to make it clear that I didn't have a problem with your post, only fxforex. I can handle someone disagreeing with me but there is no reason to be rude or know it all. Thanks for being civil.
