Maybe he'll get lucky and the market will go down on the expectation of a fed rate increase.
Wow, this guy has at least a 1/2 million dollar account......
IB's overnight margin req for ES puts him out there with $180,000 in margin required.
And of course, if the market continues higher, more margin calls and more margin to put up.
 
I like it when he posts his conclusion , that he had 50 s p minis long in another account , he was testing you .
One more positive poster employed by Baron , he is operating a multimillion account.

Maybe I missed it, but why did you short 38 ES futures without your own plan? To cover that margin requirement, you must have a substantial account. I'm confused as to why you would ask us for the best course of action, when you are the only one that can decide what to do based on your expectations. It's your money at risk.

My advise to you is never take on a position that size without a plan and never listen to others that don't have any skin in the game.

Maybe 38 futures isn't very big for him.

Not that it matters, but ES initial margin requirement from the CME is $5,225*38 =$198,550.
 
possible suggestion 1: close all positions. why?

possible suggestion 2: wait for market down and then close it. why? what is the risk?

other suggestions ? and what is the reason behind the suggestion?

My current plan is:sell ES put against these 38 ES until all positions are assigned/covered:
1) sell cboe spx index put options below 2145 (to 2050) expired on every Mondays about 100 contracts(=200 es put positions because it is x100 sp500 index ).
2) sell emini ES put weekly options below 2150 (to 2050)expired on every Wednesdays (about 100 put positions)
3) sell emini ES put weekly options below 2150 (to 2050)expired on every Fridays (about 100 put positions)
I have collected $12000 from Wednesday to Friday from 50 to 38 short position. But I short ES at a much lower price too embarrass to say.

The reasons for above strategy are:
1) maximize margin in my account so can collect as much put premium
2) reduce risk of large short put positions in case Emini ES has sudden large drop so I will have large ES long position.
3) in my opinion, market fully(?) priced in the good Trump(large stimulus, less regulation), but bad Trump (whether all above will be realized, trade war, uncertain what Trump will do or say, Dec Fed raise rate, Dollar index surge, tech leaders FANG has been selling off) lots of unknown will keep sp500 range bound.
4) what could my strategy and above opinion about the market be wrong? Dow dos break up to all time high. what is the worst could happen? (which keep me waking up and write this post at 4am pt.)

Thank you for any of your thoughts! And good luck to your trade.

Who's your broker ? you should work with a voice broker to discuss your positions, not random strangers on the Internet.

And then people wonder why real traders don't post here anymore...

When you get real traders posting on this forum , you get all the idiots laughing at the poster L O L.

Somebody comes here with a problem ,instead of helping him , all the answers are silly ,ridiculous and making fun of the real trader.This is ridiculous.

No wonder they don't want to post here .

You wonder why there are no real traders posting here.You think I am going to miss you fake traders , after they ban me?

Now the laugh is on the posters of Elite Tossers.He might as well go to a bunch of baboons
