Hmm...pre-open 20:30 and open 21:00 central time. I'm outta here, too. It's a lovely evening here in the central coast and wth are they using standard time. I'll go on a walk up my canyon and try not to get killed by wild dogs. It keeps things real.

Just got home, keen to see the market. Got the message ECBOT, GLOBEX and NYMEX down, the wankers.

Well, we are in EDT. EST would open in 10 min.

Yeah, I keep a running total of all costs and realized P/L. Was doing OK, but the loss of 2.10 on the Aug 22 1995C wiped out everything. I'm really just trying to make a few ES points. Then I can nail down the position.

I made that statement at the library, Friday, while waiting for the old folks. Life in the fast lane. It's an overly simplistic view. Obviously, the market can go up or down. I see the liklihood of a rally on any pullback. As convexx said, timing is everything. My position now is +1 ES 1990C...

Yeah, they've been out for a while. Here you go. http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/energy/crude-oil/light-sweet-crude_contractSpecs_options.html?foi=O&optionProductId=6185&optionExpiration=6209-Q4#optionProductId=7503...

Yeah, good going. You did your homework on that one and it paid big. Impressive trade. Nice piece of fundamental analysis. I asked because I sold some puts on it the first time it breached 17. Got assigned as it dropped to the 15s. Did the old sell calls against it and close with the...

Bought 'em back for .81. So the SPY portion is +300s -2 Aug 29 200Cs. The aug 22 ES 195C was a total loss. This is getting kinda fun, because it's such a silly trade at this point. It'd be even sillier if I made a profit. I've been reading the market OK, but like last night's short, haven't...

And sold 2 Aug 29 199.5Cs @.87 Some leeway to the upside and can you guess if I'll buy 'em back if given the opp.

Sell 'em back .61 and looking for more, but have to go out this afternoon. Don't worry, we'll get these bastards...um, or take the loss. I use dollar stops, with this trade it is 1000.

Buy 'em back .57

Sell 2 Aug 29 SPY 200Cs @ .65. Bit of a compromise there.

Long 300s SPY at 199.49

The first mistake I made in this trade was to trade countertrend. Often, with a strong trend the counter trade is exceedingly weak, often sideways. I was fortunate to get the 1990@14, but the have been fighting the uptrend ever since. Should have waited and gone with the trend using a put...

Time to get long this market, pretty soon.

Buy "em back for .57.

Sell 2 SPY Aug 29 200Cs for .69. Trying to build up the credit. Yeah this trade is hairbrained. Small size makes it more of an exercise and fun, not really. And practice posting live, which really sucks, BTW. Back to CL after this.

Out the SPY 200Cs @.09

Bah, out at 1990.75.

Screw peace of mind, short the UL at 1990.50
