More talk on CNBC re EU. Unusual external factor; hard to figure in. Walk away for now.
Beer. These days and for a while now, I have been keeping a 3-minute chart of SPX. For comparison with some of RCKS stuff and also USO for oil.
SPX seems to be reluctant to rise this morning. Take a look.
Consolidation between 2009 and 2103 for an hour and a quarter so far. Looks like staling there. Volume bars about equal but slowly declining for both red and green. Lack of interest to me.
Maybe later selling to develop ??
Roy may find a (some) puts scalps prospects during this session.
Keeping AAPL 95 puts on this Thursday; from .45.
Beer. Yeah, except that I have abandoned the 1-minute chart and now use 3-minute for a bit better clarity. Your 2-minute must be the same idea. Glad you mentioned all of this. I wonder over time about some details of your technical approach. I must say that some of your entries amaze me. But that doesn't keep me from following as best I can.
Always look at stock volume bars as well as stock candles and RSI as well as Wm%R(14). Best quick glance at indicator combination leading to more careful look at the 15-minute.
Basically, smaller greenvolume suggests tiring of a stock climb and longer red bars as well. Basic notion. Makes sense.
But for options (always for me), quick look at the QUE for the strike I have, or am considering to get.
That combination is pretty well established and what is used here for most of the last year or so.
NOT ALL STOCKS OR OPTIONS RESPOND THE SAME WAY. Gotta also know something about the population of traders for each issue. Doesn't change a lot over time but care has to be ready that "things" can and do change. Always ready to dismount at small weakness. Stay with small losses if not a winner.

Solar City not much good for TSLA (and Musk).
TSLA stock is 20 ish lower.
No, I did not make a single scalp. Maybe a better day or two later this week.
Sticking with the none or very small losses notion.
Back from the hospital, not bad, getting along.
Gonna try to trade some today.
Interesting but probably of insufficient promise to affect short term moves in the stock nearby. Musk seems only slightly thinking along those lines.
After all, how may drivers really expect to need floatability? Pay anything more for it? But then I live in the desert.

RCKS remains uncertain. I'm not so much.
Carrying nothing over the weekend, for now I think lower next week.
Aw, that's just an old fart of a puts player spouting off.
And whatever TSLA does often means nothing as regarding "the market".
Have a good weekend all.

TSLA white candle on the 5-minute.
Also a green volume bar.
Asking 5.40 for JUNE 220 puts.
Edit: All 5 indicators on the 5- minute are deeply oversold. Need to sell.
Nothing on the TESLA Motors board except "Friday sell off".
Something in some traders' info pipeline seems like.
JUNE 220 puts are up a couple of hundred bucks per contract. Que is still positive.
TSLA stock plowed right on down through S1, but looks to be tiring. Thirty five minutes to go. Eye balls are reenergized.

LOD this strike has been 1.32. Long time ago. Late as heck believing this one. Tried to load puts when the stock played with R1 about 10 o'clock. Not bidding bold enough then.
Saw the afternoon retrace tiring around 218.5 and threw a dart at puts.
Up to 4.31 now in a hurry. We'll see. Maybe a little late Friday bait.

FB. Not expecting a reversal to north now.
RSI and Wm%R both remain oversold but not threatening upward.
Stock volume bars still red and not shorter on the 5-minute.
Sto's 5,5 and 14,3 arw oversold, yes, but no threat to reverse
Advance/Decline, Chaiken Osc, and On Balance Volume remain headed south.

AAPL steadily lower since 11:30 a.m.
AAPL stock red volume bars are not growing, just static or shrinking. May take some time to get sorted out better.
Chaiken is lower as is On Balance Volume. But no big sign that I can see yet. Need to see RSI and Wm%R dive substantially, if they will.
