Some of the longer-term levels I'm looking at on the SPX...

White lines are upcoming option expirations, white boxes are strikes im considering selling verticals @.

Would like to sell the Aug put spread on some early morning weakness (wanted to do it friday but reaction to the NFP# didn't cooperate with the plan) and ideally get a short-covering rally later in the week and/or into the next week to sell the Sep call spread, do some type of ratio, or sell a much smaller number of calls outright. We'll see how it goes, considering the downgrade.

Should be another interesting week.

(no stop, max-loss of 1.31 per spread)

Stop was to small for this votality both on the 30 min and 15 min chart I am seeing the need for a 17 point stop

So less contracts and bigger than normal stops.

Look into the indicator "Average True Range" to get a feel for the current range of the market on any time frame

Good stop level, we would have to really overshoot past 1125 inorder to hit your stop.

Good luck
