Nice. What is that exactly though? IG reviews their client accounts to see who is long the market and who is short by how much? Seems there could be so many permutations. And are IG customers relresentative of market as a whole?

Sorry if answers are evident in that page, lookingon phone while trying to put kid to sleep, hamstrung a bit lol.

Thanks!

That's my understanding

 

[Trade Theory]

Why not trade long duration short, while near term bullish with the trend? Back dated put backratios on the SPY or QQQ could be a fun play. Or just some back dated spx verticals keeping your delta managed.

Or if you wanna stay away from options you could trade the TLT or GLD looking for a crash up

RSI = really stupid indicator?

Well it's not actually, however imo, used conventionally it's a stupid indication of overbought, oversold.
I use no indicators for trading, but you can code an RSI within an algo to indicate degrees of volatility for comparison purposes.
But like all things, it is no holy grail as there are many ways to achieve similar results without the need to use RSI.

Tomorrow the markets are going gangbusters to the up up up upside. Just to bring in 2020 the markets will once again start off on an extremely positive note....

I'm going to long VXX calls and going to buy some 300 puts on the spy !!

I tentatively agree with you, in that there is nothing in the way of us having a third-great January in a row. But remember, we have that overhang on Jan 15th. So much can happen between now and then.

So you think the signing of the phase 1 trade deal will put this non stop rally to rest?

No. I am saying that if China pulls any of their crazy shit, flashes a piece out on the lanes, will put the rally to rest.
