Short the ES Aug 1075 straddle at 13.00 synthetic (from the car, 3:15-3:30 approx). Currently 12.50 mid.

Worth 5 intrinsic (natural), but I am long ES, short 75Cs, so will go into exp long futures.

Net-long futures from 62.00 (provided 75C expire otm). Will hold futures to 85.00 or 62.00 B/E stop.

Quote from atticus:

Amazing that you nailed the pin-strike on the same day it traded! Pure genius! I think we pin to 108 on Monday!

Where does me saying highly probable we close above 1065 cash have anything to do with pinning ?

You were referring to 107 on SPY... and the 1065 comment was silly as we had traded one point under 1065 by the time you posted the 1065 cash comment and had already bounced.

Again, your posting a day or two before expiration is meaningless. Where was the 107 SPY call when SPY was at 110-111? Anyone can post that we'll pin to xxx on the day or two before expiration. Use SPX equivalent next time.

Come in here 14-21 calendar days to expiration and get the number within *5* points on SPX and I will concede that you were right all along and that pinning is still a factor.

We rally to 1095 SPX next week (minimum target). Nothing to do with pinning.

Yet again I prefer 1,000 over 1,100.

What sort of risk are you looking at with this call? I remain short, because my reverse order is @ 1,130 ES. TY for replying.

P.S. Yen is getting closer to a key level.

 

[ammo]

next 5 days a bounce to 1085 spx and then test supp 1039-40

 

[ammo]

1040 supp line

Next move under 66 and timber!

I guess the IF 66 THEN 00 command line didn't execute that well...

Quote from Pekelo:

The key word is CONSISTENT....

The problem is that most posters here aren't that consistent, thus their performances fluctuate wildly...

I don't mean to start a flame war, but you PEK need to post some trades of your own before criticizing others.
