This thing is down nearly 9% right now. Another 100 pts and it's limit down.

Taiwan bans short selling below previous session prices: Taipei, Aug. 23 (CNA) The Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) announced Sunday that it will ban from Monday the short selling of stocks below the closing prices of the previous business day, to stabilize Taiwan's equity market. From...

There's some buyers down at 1951 for sure - but I'm just content to watch for now. Awaiting Asian market open. Australia opens in about 1 minute as well.

Wow. Such orders. Much liquidity.

Indeed! So coupled with this artificial CB meddling (which builds up a coiled spring), you've got a whole new round of investors added to the mix who haven't had their own portfolio head through a meltdown yet. These doe-eyed types aren't exactly hardened seafarers if you will and I seriously...

This is XINA50 back during the parabolic Chinese climb. Each lot is 2k margin so I do think this is possible with someone who recognizes the situation and has the margin to back it up.

One thing I seem to be noticing with quite a bit of those who I'd characterize as "millennials" is strange sense of optimism about the market and economy. I believe there been conditioned to a 2009-forward environment and think this is the norm of how things work. Myself been through 2000 (not...

One will also notice that they scheduled this "special" for Sunday evening. Most likely so they can play sports announcer for the Asian session complete with scripted reactions to whatever happens. I hope the markets just open and sit there like they normally do on a Sunday just to starve them...

Yay another Karen the super trader follower who's probably never been through 2000 or 2008 and thinks OTM put selling is the bees knees because delta is the only thing that matters right? ET180: If you get a significant gap down or sell off coupled with a huge spike in volatility you're going...

"Yellen help us out" For fucks sake - this market needs a serious flush.

No way man. OTM puts mean you're going to be short gamma and vega vs a delta 1 underlying. Unless you hedge continuously or quickly you could see explosive increases in option prices you're short on going from a low to high volatility environment. Obviously time to expiration and strike are...

No issue with either timeframe but we should be clear here: time is money. You cannot get your time back.

While I definitely understand why going long and/or expecting a reversal seemed alluring to people on Thursday and Friday, the market was in a generally strong downtrend. Taking counter trend trades would have made you less money than taking high probability trades like shorting at a key level...

IMO you need to remember higher timeframe context and stop trading in garbage areas. Before the session even starts have an idea of where KEY levels will be. If its no-mans land go back months prior and find the key levels THEN. Otherwise use fib extensions to have a rough idea of where other...

I think his point is more about calls vs puts rather than ITM vs OTM.

CNBC: providing liquidity since 1997.

Looks to me like Saxo bank simply wasn't doing any legitimate hedging here and is attempting to have its cake and eat it too by sticking the bill with traders who were on the right side of the trade and normally pursuing those who were on the wrong side. Basically, typical criminal behavior...

I see a problem with it - it's not free and it's not sustainable. It's the essence of a ponzi scheme that cannot be reconciled without eventual severe pain to a current or future generation. Plus it makes for shit trading.
