Futures took another nosedive
I think the boys saw you type this
No fair, you have the teacher's answer sheet
Yes
CAPS LOCK
What a Ripparoni
There we go, that was the juice I needed. Thx Tim Apple
Yeah with each year I am in the market, the more I realize it can literally do anything. Even the most ridiculous sounding things can happen if the big boys want it.
Quite the big range there
Not up that much gain intraday today, considering how green the market is on this rally today. AAPL just flopping around. Go up!
lol Tim Apple, nice
Lol, not like I'm asking him to do my trades for me. But I can't deny that he knows a lot more than me, not to mention it's stuff I would want to learn. There's great traders like NN here too, but I don't have the capital to do a strategy like that, so I don't let it cloud my judgement too much.
But this Dollar guy, he's onto something that is more up my alley and speed. It would be more of a tweak to my current methods, rather than switching to an entirely different realm of trading. You might want to stick to your co-op boards if all you're going to do is target people here.
Preaching the truth brotha. I was on the same boat, didn't take any trades. Almost took calls, but at my entry it felt like the risk/reward wasn't on point. Sure it would've worked this time, but 9/10 woulda been a loss.
I tend to get burned on choppy days and on days where I tend to chase a big move. Using what you told me previously to actually learn. Sure there was FOMO today, but not taking a trade ISNT a loss, and I'm decently proud of myself for just sitting on the sidelines today.
Keep up the strong work my dude. Lots to learn from you.
Yea I'll keep an eye out. Keep the info coming my man. Just caught the short SPY 278 Puts .82 - 1.03
See if it trades like this I can do it. I just gotta keep my losses small or not take bad trades
Thanks for the insight. I definitely still have a ton to learn and study. I like to keep it simple at the moment, as i am a simpleton, but maybe it's time to add a wee bit more to my strategy.
The only reason you hear an echo is because there is so much empty space in my head. I read pretty much every post on this board, except for the couple conspiracy theorist fluff propaganda people whom i have ignored. Don't think your posts go unnoticed.
My plan of attack typically is to follow the trend. I didn't have much success doing counter trend trading, as i was pretty much trying to guess reversals, and guessing wrong at that. I try to go with the momentum, but if that momentum stops abruptly or chops all day, it can burn me. Just know, if you keep posting, I'll keep reading. Keep up the good work.
Pretty much. That's the biggest problem for me, I get absolutely ruined by chop. I gotta get better at recognizing agonizing chop, and also not trading these kinds of days in general if I have to.
I agree, got tossed out of 2 trades already because of this chop. Might just call it a day. We need more days like yesterday.
You're telling me, I had 280 Calls, sold at the bottom... then that rip happened where I could have gotten out for profit, instead took a 35%+ loss yippee
lol same, I would get spammed with condolences if I posted my trades in here. I definitely have room to grow :P
Shouldn't be too long then, easy to be bullish with a V reversal of this magnitude since Christmas Eve
Powell is supposedly speaking at 12:45, DT might be around that time too
It's me, she trying to kill my calls, and it's working...
Quite the sinking ship now, VIX propped up a little bit, but not as much as I think it should have. Boys faking us out? Or more of a move to come?
Wow lol, you called it.
Gap keeps getting further and further away :(
Oh I know, not what I meant. I meant that since 10:20 we have been chopping along that level
Awfully quiet around here today. Quite the down day, nice to see with how hard we have been trucking since 12/24, little bit of a breather.
We are teetering on Friday's low of day now. Wonder how much chop were gonna get at this level.
How low/high you folks seeing today go?
only showing 2.6 mill on the 10:15 and 2.23 mill on the 10:20 candle for me
Quite the interesting strat! How much time theta do you tend to give yourself on a strat like this. Month+? Is this what you do personally?
Yep, he's speaking right now

After the minutes when the Fed streams their designated "Speech and Question time", J Powell tends to give his outlooks then, I'm thinking he's gonna keep saying that the Fed is now staying Data Dependent and things along that line
Feds gonna be dovish, he's getting the pressure from POTUS and from the market taking itself out the past couple months. But yea, a lot going down tomorrow. Could be chop until then.
U.S. TRADE DELEGATION MEMBER WINBERG SAYS NEGOTIATIONS WITH CHINA TO CONTINUE ON WEDNESDAY: RTRS
Might not come out around 11 as expected =/
Is it looking like it may be time to start slowly re-loading eternal puts? Pretty strong rip since new years, dunno how long it can sustain such a move.
The bulls are dropping the ball. Getting closer and closer to that 200sma on the weekly. Is she gonna support again? or do we keep this flush going strong?
Can't be wrong if you play both sides. Then once something happens, he can just reference that he said it, and the other thread about the complete opposite vanishes.
Wow this dead cat sure got a lot of air and hang time today. Is this gonna be the reversal all the bulls wished to Santa for Christmas? Or is this a gigantic bull trap?
A week or so ago your stuffies were showing a rally back to 280s or 290s or so before continuing back into drop mode. Now 265ish it's the highest you are showing.
Have your programs and supercomputers officially killed the bull? Or have those projections just been pushed back closer to the end of 2019 and/or into 2020?
The boys might be watching you and turn on the PPT buybacks just out of spite. 2019 is gonna be an interesting year regardless, volatility is here and probably not going anywhere.
I guess i should kiss my swing trades goodbye, cuz dey r Gunna end most likely worthless. Day trades only seems the safe bet nowadays. Holding anything overnight is a good way to develop insomnia.
There she is, VIX woke up a little late, but already perky over +5% and over $30, sheesh
What gets me is VIX is still red for the day. The boys are just toying with us, not sure which way they want to go or if they want to just chop. But I'm not gonna try and guess, because 9/10 I am wrong.
