OEX weekly options

I need real time OEX url for rapid data.

Does anybody use it. I used to have this 25 years ago, but no longer have the url. Don't even see it anywhere?

I have this OPENING GAP trade that works a third of the time. But my data is 20 minutes or more late using Big Charts and I need to be able to jump the gun better, for entering in the trade.

Does anybody have the real time data by the minute? Would appreciate the url. I only want it for the opening.

I looked back 5 years and it seemed to trade in a range. No big moves expected for December?

This is the month for slack activity mostly retail small traders. All the big boys have finished for the year. Adjusted their portfolios and funds and waiting for January.

After today's move my guess is we rally into the end of year.

www.FreeStockCharts.com is real time, would that work?

There is another one called BATS EXCHANGE but it only has stocks. Though I see SPY listed. Tried it yesterday on INTC but that stock didn´t seem to move much. I was really looking for a chart I had 25 years ago that had by the minute OEX index movement. I'll look again to see if SPY moves, though I think it is option prices rather than the index itself.
I appreciate the effort on your part though.
 
What a bollocks of a morning.

I was fighting the trend apparently and short, in puts. When Iwent to close it, my wife was in the trading room, bugging me about things and I closed the trade in the weeklies instead of the monthlies. Ended up later after she had gone, in sorting it out and had to take losses both in the weeklies and the monthlies. To even out.

Then I debated about fighting the trend. I had been trying out that TPS method I read someplace. Sounded like averaging down to me, but I tried it. That turned out no good, also. I knew better, but what the heck. The trend had started but was weak, then it strengthened and I held too long. Ahhhhhhh!!!!! Old lessons are hard to relearn.
Bad morning in the trading sense.

Still nothing from Brad on a monthly trade. You get anything? I don´t see any market action anyway to justify it. I guess that is why some months have 0 on them, when he doesn´t trade. I had wondered about that, but now it makes sense. Not every month you can get a trade by his criteria, you need volatility.
 
Falconview, hi dont know why I wasn't getting the automatic email alerts about postings so I thought I would check. Didn't you get an update to day from Brad? I have a number of his positions on for Dec expiry, I guess it depends when you started getting the recommendations.

I think the reason for the % question is that you cannot simply take the total of the winners and subtract the losses. It depends when in the year they occured. It also depends whether you are looking at simple or compond returns.

So far I am very impressed with them, looks like another 4% monthly profit so far.

No I have nothing from Brad. What was the latest you got today?

I was looking carefully at how it works in hindsight. While he tries to minimize losses by rollovers, the rollovers still lose money. What I was noticing was the zero months. These are when he does not trade. So essentially he is taking one lick and maybe two. But skipping months when he cannot fit his criteria. This changes the reward risk criteria quite a bit. Let us presume he traded on those months that he did not trade, he would possibly have had losses, which means those months he skips are very important to the whole system.
This fits in with my theory that avoiding losses is the name of the game, in whatever system you trade. Doesn´t matter if you only end up trading once a year you are still going to make money if you avoid taking trades that possibly might lose and do.

I´m working on straight buying of options. So far so good. Ran into a bit of trouble last week, when I made some clerical entry mistakes and they cost me money. But have pretty much earned it back now.
Made 50% on risked capital between yesterday and today. The bet was only 10% of the total available to bet though. Can´t get rich that way ( grin! ). More or less trying out my models of betting.

I´m going to have to give up trying to trade 4 methods at the same time. They use two different weeklies and a monthly using two different types of trades. I got messed up with it last week and very difficult for one person to handle such a thing that is so complex. Entered stuff in the wrong option chain. Think I will stick to straight buying current option month. Though if Brad would send me his demo FREE TRIAL I would try it. That is the same month, I could do that.

We have an overhead resistance level and I was thinking this should be a time when Brad would send a recommendation. We are bucking up against it. I can´t see a trade by his criteria though as to premium prices. So I´m surprised you got a trade. What is it? With only a week and a half to go, should be able to call one. I don´t want to step out of line though on a monthly credit spread. I kinda thought this would be a zerio month.
 
Falconview have you signed up for the 30 day trial? Plus if you are planning on trading family money, the $85 per month will be a lifesaver in my opinion. Once you have the 30 day trial I believe you can go back and see all his recommendations for the month.
You get one every Monday morning and then additional ones if a trade is needed at another time.
