good analysis... what is funny is I receive a newsletter via email..... and this guy who was a very successful options trader on CBOE for many years is expecting a meaningful downside move based upon fib levels. Of course he has been wrong now for two straight days. ICe :cool: p.s. I...

yes the SCAM pdt rule applies to options--- believe it or not-- but we are gong to do something to see if we can change that! Ice :cool:

down 100K? WOW! Only a month hiatus?!! why throw that much away in these insane hedge fund/program markets. If you got that much to "lose" why are you even bothering trading rather than investing... must be better things to do with capital nowadays than tick f*ck the eminis etc.

imagine if you had bought GOOG calls with that same 300,000 back in April? In my view, why trade when investors are making out much better if they bought the market back in April, and also invested back in 2003. Frankly this very short term trading is becoming a joke, and I am not a day...

I don't particularly want to see any huge gaps down in our financial markets... but we are so vulnerable right now to external threats by reason of being engaged in this massive relief efforts in our southern States... that I am concerned. If I had a large fund or many net long positions over...

the only way to assure "superior" fills at the price you are seeking, and even at the bid, is to enter a limit order and risk missing a move; I try not to put in market options orders when I am sure I can fill at my price, whereas when the underlying is moving rapidly, and I want in, market is...

EXACTLY right... it is amazing 'poundtherock' that you can even dignify some of the CRAP that's been going on in big-buck-overly greedy-non-patriotic-corporate America in the past 5-10 years as you seemingly do in your posting! Wake up guy, grow a heart.... a conscience.............. and maybe...

wow... great "quote" and I cannot agree more! Ice :cool:

well said in your previous posts, bro! sick of these guys who will always make excuses for the rich maggot criminals in our society, who didnt even need the f*king dough in the first place..... but be first in line to want to throw away the key on some poor kid from the South side of...

down in Chicago all my other (brokerage) accounts are NOT down... with same cable modem and computers. Hope the problem is corrected SOON!

r/a didn't know you had started a journal... hope you keep it going.. definitely going to check it out. regards, Ice :cool:

morning gap was open... and 1600 'may' be expiry pin level.

:D :D :D LOL you are an interesting read! Ice :cool: p.s however u r correct computers have made it harder... and upped the need for greater disciplne coupled with an elevated level of focus, patience and flexibility!

hey Ricksahw... I thought you said the market could not go lower!Yeah... pretty sure you said that with conviction on another thread. Non? So what do you see for next week? More upside... like today!!? :eek: :D Well I covered a lot of short calls today so I really hope we get a nice pop in...

no... only system traders can succeed!! :eek: :eek: :p :D :D :D Ice :cool:

don't sell a naked put if you think yhoo is weak and going lower.. ... do a capri put, or bikini spread!

but riskarb.. not everyone is trading the size you likely trade... (given the onerous retail marginning scam-policies)... and perhaps not the style you adopt... thus their margins are different; make any sense or am I off-base here? Not to mention retail margins

Samson... don't you think that maverick74 has been implying that throughout this entire thread? Many times direction is very important factor in building a position, and adjusting/managing it correctly for greater returns. IMHO ... your point is exactly correct! this week is an...

with all due respect.. I don't believe he is the one who "knows very little" ! When it comes to some debates and certain disagreements in life, for those that understand no explanation is needed, and for some (apparently guys like you) no explanation will suffice? SO perhaps it's a waste of time...
