Nice trading guys. I am rooting for y'all and a miss of my SPX 1430 no touch.

if short vols and the sp has to rise to make it happen, why sell the 1500 at all? thanx.
 
Quote from atticus:

Amen. Have you considered adding a system for offsets? Waiting for the crossover on exits must be maddening.
And therein lies the crux of the problem with MA crossover systems.

The strangle does well up to 1490. I'd do better short puts, but I prefer to sell bull straddles or strangles. I sold the Aug bull-straddle as well.

here I go.. giving away another secret...

you can use modified bollinger bands for exits.

As Ed McMahon would say, "Yes, you are correct sir!"

today's bar is looking similiar to 3/14/07. I'm looking at selling the aug 1390's with the day's high busted.
