One of my kids broke their foot so I am headed to the ortho-clinic. BB at the close.

Hope its just a hairline break (requires only a soft cast boot) and nothing serious beyond that.

Damn, that's too bad. Hope it heals relatively quick. Awesome trading though!

Thanks guys, it was some tendon and cartilage (damage) but just the ski boot as you say. She's already back at school.

I am set-up well for the mid-week SPX expiration. Unch from last update at +6.2%. Will update again at the open tomorrow.

The vol where it is... I don't think I'll be able to bust $30K in gains this week, unless we get a sudden drop in the mkt.

By following your post for a few months, I understand you trade both futures and options flies against the main support/resistance of the underlying (ES) as your main method in this week's attempt.

If you can give a bit more details on the strategies used, support/resistance as you see it (I see 3158/3070, with 3120/3100 in between), I would appreciate very much (I am sure many others in this thread will too), of course, whatever level you feel comfortable to reveal and time you have.

Best wishes to your kid's recovery.

No, I don't watch S/R at all. I couldn't tell you where they are at. Not remotely.

Thanks.

That could very well happen this week. I think Trump's veins in his neck are starting to throb.
