Sold CTK16-CTH16@.49 on a small 2 lot. Getting pummeled on my coffee positions. Starting to think I'm a fool for holding through this. Long NY cocoa dec again at 3139 and long NY sugar mar at 1405, outrights.

I've stopped trying to figure out what makes sense pretty much - its a total troll market, as you said. Remember it's going to try and sucker everyone in and once earnings is over we'll see how it really performs. When you're scared to short is around the time to be patient and wait for the...

I made 33 ES points buying at the lows of yesterday and selling at 2041, only a 1 lot though. However I'm getting killed in some other stuff (6E dec calls, a bunch of coffee stuff, etc) so my p/l open today is basically break even. This market did what I thought it would do but even if I made...

VE is at like 85%.

NG started to look interesting, last time we were here was 2012, but before that 2002.

I've found I have less slippage with stop limits vs market orders - the reason being that something has to hold your market based stop until it's triggered, whereas the stop-limit order is directly on the exchange. I use a 10-20 tick slip-zone in the stop-limit as protection, meaning if my buy...

I don't think the short term highs are in yet, but today was a total shit show.

Always look for the 62% fib. I'm Targeting a W but will be on watch here.

CT May/Mar. Anyone looking at this one? Wondering if there's another's leg up...

Basically in these situations the small amount of cost saved is not worth the pin risk so you just close the side exposed to it.

Ouch for sure, most definitely coming from the Nov side. Interestingly May'16 also showed a similar drop to Nov whereas the other 2016 contracts did not.

Turns out I'm wrong about SB vs W... What I don't understand is why there's no relief between CC and C. Nobody trades EC - it has no volume and is a dead contract, whereas there's definitely significant volume in London Cocoa. Interesting to note that there's relief between KC and RC (D)...

I kinda think what's gonna happen is we're going to chop around through earnings and then, sans any black swans, the rug gets pulled.

HSI and HHI.HK (and MHI/MCH.HK for mini) - but they're still not as volatile as they were when China was blowing up.

http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/sgx-a50-index-future.292570/ This market is dead since China killed the party.

CLH16-CLF16 moving in a positive direction for me (up). Let's hope it's not all rollover related.

Figured as much. There's also no ICS market for SB vs W either (maybe due to cross-exchange).

A fav spread of mine was 3NQ/2TF. Made decent money but also came close to losing decent money. I've since not touched it for a while.
