    CL Redux

    I think i will sell a few just to get to a neutral position...i just want to dump the calls at the open tomorrow and wait for another entry long or short. I'd just hold the calls bare but i have a feeling it might tank

    CL Redux

    Well shit i was not expecting that drop. My entire short position got covered at 83.14 when i wasn't looking. Meanwhile, i now am stuck with 400 USO April 41 calls that i was using to hedge. Hope this SOB doesn't plummet overnight i definitely dont like being long. Makes me feel dirty.

    CL Redux

    NFP Expectations

    I agree, but great numbers and a good reaction are starting to seem like a foregone conclusion. In my experience that usually makes for a high-risk situation. Its a fair point though -- if the market stays in the 1160 range and doesn't creep up toward the end of the week, there is probably...

    NFP Expectations

    Does anyone else have the feeling we are setting up for missed expectations on the NFP report, and a subsequent selloff? Or at minimum, met expectations but a sell the news respone? The market is currently levitating. NFP expectations are sky high, for two reasons. One is simply the...

    Is it possible to earn average 2 points per contract a day?

    I have several that backtest better than that over the last year. I've had quite a few that substantially exceed that in various equities over a trailing 12 month period. The primary issue is, one you find a strategy like that via backtest, is that market dynamics tend to change, and that...

    ES Journal Archive (2009 - 2010)

    couple of potential ways it could play out: 1) market holds up through quarter end, awaits jobs report. Jobs report is as good as everyone expects, and its a sell the news event. 2) market sells off this week due to global jitters, and then recovers after job report and runs deep...

    HuggieBear's Thread of Public Shame

    Weekly Huggie Update- A wish-wash week, not much action, not much progress. I am more or less flat versus where i stood last week. The action breaks down as follows: 1) Still traded CL several days in high-frequency and ridiculous size. Came out slightly ahead, but with...

    Buy anything...all systems go

    Are you crazy? You literally don't even need to bother mortgaging your house. All you need to do is not pay your first mortgage, then you can spend that cash on new iPhones. No need to worry whatsoever, the banks won't forclose on you because they've got too much inventory, and Uncle...
