Hey Beer, notice that Roy did a call today.
Gotta run.
Out for today. Looking for some lower markets later this week.
Good luck all. Beer, still looks like you have a pretty good idea about what you're doing. Keep at it. Congrats on a cool head.

Market is still strong in front of Yellen speaking in 20 minutes.
...I like to ring the register early on Mondays.
me to, exactly. Gotta be gone for half an hour now.
This is CHEMO week again. This afternoon and every day through Friday.
Nice going on Deere calls. An old times farmer here, but had let "If it runs fast, it's a Deere", get off my prospects list.
Last ten days DE has made quite a run. From 77 to 87.
Green tractors with yellow wheels and trim always catch my eye off the interstate.
Edit: Then there's the air conditioner people who say "It' hard to stop a TRANE".
Beer, thanks, helps me to get the drift.
I'm just waiting on my AAPL calls for some more time. 99calls are supporting advance on the stock. Que for these calls still look on the possible upside, though slower than early. 94 x 95 and .77 x .78. Caution seems to be the thing. I'm on the ask at .80
Meawhile, looking around. I find the market today to not be very "clear", at least on my own prospect list.
I'm thinking maybe TSLA will hit a rough patch this week, even later today. We'll see.
CIEN 21C "next week". June 17 (monthly, one contract so far) or June June 24 (weekly, no contracts) ?
Can't find it.
Beer, SPY 110 (or 210?) calls ?
SPX HOD has been 2109.34, close to five previous highs around 2111 since last July.
Janet talks later today.

WTI is up almost a buck.
SP500 heat map 70% green. Preliminary.
Chaiken expectations of a Trump presidency cannot yet be surmised with confidence, depending on his actual moves, varying with unknown future of his personality results.
Not me. Just straight puts and calls, nearly all intraday.
Pretty strict technical analysis.
Avoiding overnight unexpected factors.
Same notions with only minor changes for several years now.
Good results. The technical numbers and experienced analysis often signal the most likely stock direction for periods from half an hour to a few hours.
Little regard for longer term indices movements. Whichever way things are going today tends to suggest puts or calls on the dozen or so usual prospective issues that get most of my attention.
Try always to never get into a bad under water position. If what I think "should be" turns out to be wrong, take the small loss, maybe 10% to 15% of the tries.
Most of my preparation efforts are on the 5 and 15-minute charts with 10 or so indicators, but not ignoring 60-minute and daily charts to keep in general for context occasionally, mostly in off hours.
Give some effect to news from (example) voices like Bezos and Musk. AMZN and TSLA issues can be rapidly moved from such.
Congratulations smartone.
Hi Beer. SPY calls are looking good. What strike do you have?
Edit: And AMZN puts. I guess you took those off to good advantage as well.
I'm trying to be patient with TSLA 217.5 puts. Slow going, but 4 hours left.

Recent high for this strike was .90 Sold puts on the first white candle on the stock.
TSLA 217.5 puts spiked lower as the stock rose after the early red candle (where I entered puts).
High this trike has been .79 but drifted lower to .23 momentarily with a stock white 5-minute candle spike. Now back to .31 and I'm holding after missing a double.
We'll see. I'm just not optimistic on Musk.

Hi Respect. Yes I'm pretty well, don't worry, I'm sure not gonna waste time doing that.
Sold few more than half BIDU May 27, 185 puts at 1.44 from .81, makes .63 to the good. Several calls chances passed by today. Other stuff happening here this Friday, not paying attention to trading very well.
Whatever comes, do it best possible; good effort is satisfying.

Beer, QQQ que looks balanced on bid/ask volumes and spread. Some indicators, RSI, Wm%R and sto's on the 5-minute look to me if anything into overbought.
Similar on stock price.
smartone is under water again, now on LNKD calls, doubled down twice. Nothing that I can see.
Out yesterday on a funeral, three hours there and back.
I''m not much believing in the Fed. Nor Donald. Nor Hilary.
Beerworld, hi. What makes you like QQQ today?
Rather than, say, SPY?
And yes, there are a lot of slow charts. Some money could have been made on AMZN calls.
I took some FCX puts early, but not a large position and no post.

Beerworld, I'm seeing SPX tiring around R1 (on the hourly) and 2074, a little higher than RCKS's 2071. Maybe. I'm keeping a SPX chart up these days.
Looking around for tiring issues to load a few puts. It's still early in the week
I have to be away tomorrow.
Beer, Nice going. I have been following your AMZN and SPY calls from yesterday. Double on the SPY 205 calls.
I am surprised at the strength of today's market.
