My entry from yesterday is looking good. This is a good example of using technical analysis. The chart set up this drop perfectly. I wondered why people were buying calls.
How many times is spy gonna go up and down between 200-210? do something different.
So based on your analysis what is your upside target for January?
AAPL heavy selling.
Bought February 19th $195.00P for $3.36
I think yesterdays EOD run was just beginning for the year positioning, and we will see continued weakness and selling pressure in the next 2 weeks. The daily chart is showing lower highs and looking very bearish short term.
Can you provide some analysis of the long term chart showing the bullish indications that you see? I'm not at all attacking you, infact it's good to hear an alternate point of view.
Looks weak here. Daily chart looks definitely bearish. Looking at some FEB 195P for a swing.
Strong close.
Yeah you gonna keep holding your puts?
Daily chart has a similar pattern to late august.
As money tightens there is less money to continue to purchase stocks. This is what causes bubbles to end. Maybe we slowly deflate.
no real money coming or leaving the market... just algos vs algos and some small fish like us.
Intraday chart looks bearish.
I did say something, I said this on friday.

"seems dangerous, only 3 full days of trading next week and that's way otm. The SW hype is already baked in to the price. "
Nope I don't want to see people make bad trades and lose money, that's why I said something, I figured there were things you weren't realizing, so I gave another perspective.
DIS hitting LOD's $106's now. Only 3 full days this week. Your 113C is toast. People selling the news DIS was a play for the beginning of the year, jumping in now is too late.
As a die hard SW fan I can tell you People have known for years this new movie would set all time records and that's what the run up in DIS through out the year has been based on. You said you bought this weeks 113C, if so I would bail because I highly doubt DIS will pop that hard this week in this market environment on news people have already known for years.
Even after post FOMC premium crush, near term options are more expensive than usual. Any theory's on why?
seems dangerous, only 3 full days of trading next week and that's way otm. The SW hype is already baked in to the price.
Not sure what to do here, I thought the rate hike announcement would remove the uncertainty and provide some stability to the market leading to an end of year rally. We go from 208 down to 200, rally back to 208 then crash back down to 200 all in one week. I'm confused.
Lots of premium just came off spy options.
I think there will be a rate increase on wednesday and contrary to what many believe we will rally after it's announced. The fed has delayed over and over and over and I think they will finally do it now, and the market has had so long to prepare that I think we will not have some big sell off after it finally happens. That's why I decided to buy and hold FEB calls.
what does?
calls a few months out are a good buy here IMO.
SPY rising now, VXX dropping some..
SPY nlod now..
No offense, but we all have charts and can see when stocks go up and down. All of your "SPY ralling now" posts are unnecessary.
Bought some FEB 204C. Holding through FOMC.
Never saw this much volatility intraday.
The premium on next weeks options is high. Must be because of the rate hike decision. Puts are expensive.
at this point no one knows what will happen next.
largest exchange on the globe trading like a penny stock. Serious investors at the mercy of anyone who can write an algorithm
spy moving unpredictably. Hard to get a good entry for calls or puts.
I didn't make anything I held UVXY overnight and now have lost the whole 5K gain I had made since 2 days ago, I'm saying that's what someone could of made if they played lotto puts and then lotto calls starting with 10K.
$10,000 of weekly puts at yesterdays open then rolled into weekly calls at todays open would be 1 million dollars.
What do you think will happen next week?
whoa ripping hard...
yeahh I figured this would happen. UVXY rocketing up, I have 1K shares. Up 5 grand.
I'm holding uvxy shares bought @ $25.55, the chart leads me to assume there won't be a sudden turn around this time. I think it's safe holding bear positions for now.
