This is the place to be for the next 1-2 years - the china(shanghai) stock market. MAJOR cash is flowing in as the government closes down real estate speculation. Wire transfer into the local brokers now take twice as long because they have such a backlog of fund transfers. US stock...

vix at historical low, market very positive sentiment, election/qe2 hardly any market(equity) reaction. This is either the beginning of a bullish run, or the calm before a major reversal. One thing is for sure, this market will not remain sideways, it will gravitate towards 1 extreme or the...

take it easy with the rhetorical bullshit will you, if you make a trade before any event, you are making a prediction (hoping) of something going up, down or sideways. When we talk about trading plans, it's planned reaction after the prediction came true/false.

Not the reaction i was hoping for. Maybe 1200 has to be touched first...

no, and too late.

it will be more believable if they actually hired a guy that speaks native mandarin. This is like hiring a british accent to play the president of the usa. hilarious.

Because people like YOU and I who buys majority of our (non-food) items that are made in china. Because american companies like to make money. Because the usa govt is half owned by the lobbyist and donors of those said companies due to the way our democratic election/voting process works...

I think the direction this thread went is a pretty accurate representation of america's lost generation. you do realize red means up in the chinese stock market right.... The shanghai market was on a tear last week.

Is tbt the best instrument for short the us treasury? Looking to load up a position in my 401k, they dont let you trade any derivatives.

And that's just news for a week! Meanwhile in the US.... NJ governor christie canceled one of the largest pure infrastructure projects in the country, 10 years in the planning and hundreds of millions dollar wasted, all for nothing. The project would double the capacity of the aging...

the spring is winded very tight but i am not so sure the direction is upward. buying some strangles (dec 14p 15c)

Major double bottom 12/09, QE2 next week trading at $22.52 nov 23C at 0.13. What do you guys think about going long - temp bounce on the dollar.

it's really not that interesting, very short book that cherry picked a few stocks and talks about their behavior around expiration (ie: ping to a strike vs away from a strike etc..) by looking at the historical. And a few trade examples on how you can make 200% return! Glad i didnt buy the...

i think that's close to what I posted in the first note, i guess those are the only methods. The performance wasnt really a big deal since I am only calculating the strikes i am interested in.

Yep exactly like precision bombing from 10,000 feet! that was my question at the beginning, if there is a better play given the expectation is a big move. Without having to pick a strike range is definitely better, but the only thing is i dont want to be long vega on an earning trade especially...

good to see you are still around dmo! that thread is exactly what i am looking for thanks. bigaeon, i am looking for the formula not a pre-made solution, i know excel and matlab already has them.

You will make 0.5% profit 72% of the time, and lose 0.5% 28% of the time, from executing a single trade each day at market open with a stop loss/profit limit at -0.5% and +0.5% is that what you are saying?

shanghai market down close to 2% First big drop since the runup began last week.
