yeah, nothing is happening, was long strangle and this week has eaten my time value quite considerably.

that range bound market is killing me, moving from small profit to close to stop loss.

Well, we have seen both almost 6110 and 6030. Asul I hope you made you 50+ points. Tomorrow is going to be interesting.

Bulls got hiccup with that -1.5% Retail sales. This plays nicely to big players, I guess. I'm on sidelines bleading from small portion of calls.

I didn't wait for it.... Well, it is so close that I think will go much higher or on the other hand lower cca. 6030.

Yeah, I was sweating a lot today. I capitulated on US home sales, just short side. I wonder why I do trading when my salary income overcomes my earnings on trading 10x+. I guess because it is a challange don't get screwed.

I liked the idea of the strikes being local max/min peaks. Then I felt that vols went down y'day so that I entered this strangle and it seems I got calls for free right now. Thanks, Asul.

Offloaded puts, thanks Asul.

CAC,FTSE is already dumped a bit only DAX is holding. The only thing is supporting DAX is EUR/USD. Yeah, it is clear something fishy is going on or DAX is going to be dumped the sooner the better. Buying anything against DAX.

My guess is that Dow is going to recover 1/2%, the same for S&P. 10850 or so

Maybe should should start putting contrarian position with your strategy. Once, I thought that I found holy grail and this holy grail strategy lost me more money then ever. I waited 3-4months and used the same stratedy over and over. Then I gave up. If I waited another 3 months I would recover...

bought some 5900 puts I do not have really the view so I take it as gamble, :-).

yeah, I could make my pension, today shame on me ...

Pffff .... I do not know if anybody who was long survived today .... I've recovered what I lost but it was nerve-wracking.

You old fox, you knew it, :-), I see next month put options 150% up, good job.

For me it is: Rating cut for Portugal and Blankfein: Transaction looks bad but isn't fraud. Was lucky, was short ftse .... go baby go.

Fords Q1 earnings can help other car producers.

I disagree, look at capitalisation of DB, even 5% move would not do that. On the other hand, as you would say we filled the gap but I think we may go lower.

I thought thanks GS, :D.

Yeah, I have to read more about the order books and algorithms, especialy the ones that can be used to screw me.
