I followed the advice and I'm out.

risk/reward is 1:1? there is expiry for sep futures at 12, I'm not sure how you do this man.

entered 6250 straddle My view is that we go back to sub 6000 levels or above 6400 levels.

What changed your view? Unwillingness to break down? Geithner is going to speak later on...

You didn't say that you've got friend in BOJ as well, :-). It is a bit contra behavior of DAX, moving sidewise. I guess, we are waiting for econ news?

Yeah, I wish I didn't hold them. I still hold some pre-crisis crap.

Well, it would not matter what vol volatility you would have, the breakeven was 5930/6320 for Sep strangle. I want to say that it was a good trade but maybe it should be executed for Oct/Dec and right now. Premium is 20% down, Bund has risen again to 133 and Dax is hoovering around 6100...

Well, it is most of the time like this. There is no money in the market when compared to US.

exited 6200 calls

Back from holiday, lost some money on 6400 calls so that I entered 6200 calls.

No, I am out with good profit, could have been double if I was still holding it. I do not have patience to hold longer, do not like large spreads and theta. Being on holiday, I am watching market from sidelines at the moment. However, looking at 6400 call, it may be opportunity to buy some...

Well, got burnt on the last one. I mean, I had open buy when touched, missed it by 10 points. Otherwise, I see dax 6220, well, I closed 1/2 of my puts after Fed with small profit. I may stay on sidelines, I usually loose money in this kind of market. Any idea when may be good idea to...

Closed DAX and 1/2 6150 puts at 6277.

Yeah, I'm aware of that but also index is 10% up from May the same as DAX. I would not bet on that. On the other hand, there will be potential QEII, FED hold rates, improving optimism and US futures point to -0.5% gap at open, let see what happens until US open. I think something is...

Man, I don't see a driver here but entered 6150 puts just in case you are right.

Well, I offloaded DAX at 6334 in the morning. Confidence was 8.5 vs. 2.3 expected. I'm not sure what is going to happen but I see that my account value is slowly diminishing at the moment. I'm trying to pick-up some peanuts being long. By disastrous you mean rates going down, more supply...

Hallelujah brothers ... One part closed at 6278

German Industrial Production m/m -0.6%, 0.8% expected

I hope to get from Trichet at least "unusually uncertain".

whatever happens in data, who wins has better tactics and deeper pockets
