I sold some more call credit spreads on SPY with it at about 203

I'm running through the DOW30 stock charts, looking like quite a few might be shorter term sells. They could keep on chugging along, but idk. Several are hitting the upper bband on my charts and just look like they might pullback a bit. I have $0 on any of these, just simply trying something...

Oh SURE, don't share it with the rest of us until after the move is over lol. @Autodidact may I please be added to your list?

To be fair though, it really isn't a regular tablet. I mean it is a full fledged laptop in tablet form basically. I would venture to say it has more computing power than a regular laptop, just in a more compact form. It runs regular programs. i7 processor, up to 16gigs of ram, up to a 1tb...

Yes I agree. Right now isn't really the best for it. Too much movement currently.

The ones I sold last week were on the SPY. I'm trying to find some edge in individual stocks if I can figure out good times to sell, working on some form of a system right now. Rally's posts in the SPX credit spread trader are what I am trying to follow kind of. Something similar at least.

Yeah, I dealt with this the other day when selling some, the next day on a small move the spread was worth significantly more.

No, typically if I have a reason to think I can call the short term move about to happen, I will just trade it outright at a larger size instead. I've done what you mentioned before in a paper account with actually pretty decent success, but I took on huge amounts of risk and held naked short...

to sell more call credit spreads at these levels or not.....decisions decisions lol

22 years in a row they have held the record for the most patents per year...one day a few of those patents will come to save their revenue streams lol. Last I read, I think they were one of the top places doing research on graphene computer chips. I might be wrong on that, but if they come up...

I've looked into some stuff with ES vs. TF. I always forget to follow it to be honest, but I know there are occasionally some decent trades to be made there when there is some divergence

Do you control the markets?! LOL

I wish I still had unlimited data through Verizon:(

They might be wanting to do it for that reason, but I simply killed off the unnecessary processes for the actual speed. My regular connection went from 30ish to 60mbps. I never checked the difference in latency, if any.

Sure: Go to the Start Menu, open "Run" you can just search for it and it should pop right up. Type "MSCONFIG" and hit OK. When the window pops up, click on the startup tab. I actually deselected everything. That was a big help. The only things currently selected are some programs that updated...

I'm not sure. I don't think I would really care to though, I would much rather just fix the issues and have full normal access instead. I'm not doing anything that sensitive on latency. I pay for 60mbps through Charter and here was a speedtest just now in regular mode across wifi: I just...

Thinking of that, I've tested the wireless speed on my laptop and then done the same test in safe mode...talk about a big difference. My connection was nearly twice the speed in safe mode, faster than my ISP advertises. I got rid of a ton of the background processes and that helped significantly.

Nice performance so far. Are you holding stock, or is it exclusively the option positions?

I remember a move being briefly discussed awhile back, but do any of you all regularly trade the swings in the cotton spreads and flys? I don't have the data through IB, just looking through Scarr, but seems like there are some pretty decent swings that are regularly overdone, assuming their...

I screwed up on the vix, sitting on my hands thinking we were going to get a drop and waiting to put on some vix positions....so much for that lol. Still hoping we get another spike in vol
