admittedly i dumped a shitty long position i had on the ES yesterday at the lows, basically a scratch i held onto for 2 months.
From a pure money flow standpoint this market has to go down, money is going from equities to bonds now, i shorted just 1 contract this morning, not going to make or break me, but i felt like i had to go short, since i was convinced enough the market was toast after yesterday.
still in a downtrend looks like a bull flag but at this point you have to think what's going to break it higher?
I should obviously know this, but this is my first foray into holding a future option near expiration. I've only ever messed with equity options for any holds to expiration.
I am holding for Dec 18th:
+1 - 2040 call
-2 - 2050 call
+1 - 2060 call
Am I reading this correctly that 8:30 am tomorrow morning will be the end of trading for this expiration? Just trying to figure out how I want to handle the position before it expires. Just need the market to pin to 2050 lol

The expiry time depends on type of option. See here. Change the type depending on the type of option you hold
I lowered my limit and just exited. made a 300% return... on 25 lol.
I was going to adjust my order higher but after I pulled up the modify screen it filled

Story of my life this year, tried to take a bigger short position in the ES this morning and whiffed by a quarter point, 3k easy money down the shitter.
