We just made a dip down to 830. This might just be it. Far too early to tell, but if we clear above 838 we could be off to another race.

Next temporary resting place at 842.
 
Someone had asked me about what trading vehicle leads in the market? spy, es etc. You guys can offer your opinions. I think that the es leads for me and I will watch it on days I expect to be volatile ie bad news. I usually have es on one computer and time and sales on another screen. I like to focus soley on execution on the main platform. Here is a spy scalp setup, no big deal. Maybe when you get a chance some of you can post how you have your screens setup. Also, new posters are welcome to ask questions, there is a lot of wisdom on the board here don't be afraid to ask as there maybe 30 other people with the same question.

Toronto of course. I am a Canadian. :)

Did you ever try to arb the Canadian options (listed on the TSX) versus the US options listed on the various exchanges here (i.e., ABX, RIMM, etc.)?

I know that the liquidity is not there in the TSX, but as you may know the SEC will not let US residents trade options listed on the TSX to better protect us.
 
The current 5-min candle should play a crucial role. The bulls are trying to pick themselves up by the bootstrap but the momentum just ain't there.

Trendline alert:

UTL @ 840
LTL @ 832.75

I think they move more or less in tandem. I never understood how they could all move in synch.

But what I really like to know is why ES is trading at a discount?

Not the right place to discuss that in ES Journal.

In short - it no longer works, although many years (15+) ago many small firms in Toronto was doing arb due to the 1/8 spread (in stocks) and even wider spreads (in stock options) advantage.

You can email / p.msg me for more info.
