Quote from Spectre2007:

I've been looking at everything over the weekend.

I might throw in the equity bear towel. The short time interval between now and next spring, may not be enough to break the 1380 level.

Market may be looking to break the 1580 level instead, the buyers looking to buy it cheaper may not get that opportunity.

Instead the market will be bid up as spring approaches, and eventually breaking up above 1600.

At least it was a good idea to buy these 1550 calls last week !

Every other idea wasn´t that of a genius...

what can i say? you da man!

question, though:


do gaps matter anymore? i'm beginning to think not. at least not in the way they used to. anyone else under a similar impression?

Hello, hope everybody had a god weekend.

I am a bit uninspired today, no idea what to do with ES and NQ.

Maybe long NQ@89 with a target at 2100/05.

Only trade for me:
IF NQ<2075 then 2062


I shorted CL now@ 88.2 stop 89

Target would be 86.5 for daytrading and 85(50% retracement of the upmove) for a swingtrade.

EDIT:

Enjoying the CL volatility...
Moving Stop to 88

Quote from optioncoach:

I will go to bed with a limit order to buy at 1475 if it dips in middle of the night low volume silliness. Will keep a 10 point stop IF filled looking for something close to 1505 if we get a pre-fed rally and some economic news that supports whatever the market wants

1475.25 low tick so no fill...

Quote from Spectre2007:

marty schwartz in pit bull, if a market gaps up and fails to come down after 3 days, then trading in the direction of the gap is of higher probability.

I would give it a test on Monday where it closes.

also notice the PA in AH is bearish...different from previous sessions. Some statistical algos trading it on the bearish side now.

see how the algo's can tip their hats.
