There is a volume gap under 432 on TSLA...~d eom
Dark pools selling this whole rally today to the hod before the drop. And man, are they selling.~d
CMG: 'They've been trading shares on high volume in between b&a every day at 4 pm. Next day it ramps up, takes out shorts and then it dumps.
What green area? Do you mean the blue line?
Sheeesh.
Posted on Friday evening that my data was projecting sideways to up until Tuesday and possibly even into Wednesday, Fed day.
Also posted that I thought that they were selling the SPX last week, but also selling vol (potential rally ahead for this week).
Tomorrow is the day the rubber hits the road either way, methinks.
Yup (call used...). Ty:)
Good move, but may have to add to your position tomorrow. I posted sideways to up for Monday, on Friday. May last tomorrow.
Looking forward to it, thank you.~d eom
They're playing with us, those f'ers.
I think that's correct, or maybe it's only for the same week, not sure. The opposite doesn't always play out the way Don Wolunchuk stated, but usually it does, especially during a trending rally.
Thanks, Suzie. I read it somewhere a year ago and never tried to validate it.
Much appreciated.
Because the SPY takes forever to make a move. That's why the pros love to do all kinds of fancy gamma scalps on it.
Holy smokes, yourself. Go look at a five minute, 10 day chart, silly.
I didn't mean forever.
nowwhat, I'm a rookie in the options Greeks field, but to the best of my limited knowledge it looks like 'da boys' are selling the SPX and also selling volatility on futures.
I can't think of any other reason why the vol etf's would be getting crushed here when the SPY is close to it's monthly low other than we really are going to rally next week.
Dr. Harley, you got it right. As a friend of mine said just recently, they're trying to lull us to sleep.
Best regards.
Hi Dr. Harley, I think Monday is going to be another snoozer except for tech. Seemed like options today for next week were waited on the put side.
Thinking of selling all my SPY puts and buying TZA puts. Thanks for the recommendation, didn't even think of it.
Hi restripe. By October. and I'm trying something new. I play options and I read a month or so ago (forget where) that it is better to go long puts with very short expiration dates and roll, rather than getting a longer dated one. This is due to theta burn, of course, and also, the tax break one gets from rolling rather than selling and buying again (I read that from another site. I also personally think that a shorter dated option will benefit more from any volatility explosion than a longer date one.
So, although I betting by October, most of my puts are dated about a week away.
Dark pools again sold the rally up from the low at 2:03 pm.

Finally! Took you long enough.

...sigh....
E tu Brute?
I believe the rest of the down move I projected for September a while ago is starting.
Will update Hurst projections this evening.
LOL.~d eom
...sigh...if you understood how my brain worked you would have more compassion...
:(
War with China?~d eom
My portfolio is 100% short.~d eom
Where are Netneutral, TheWatcher, Hunter....?
Dark pool selling on this last rise from 334.25, courtesy of Hftalert.com.
My breadth charts and breadth ratio charts are actually on the overbought level on the 1 hour for this mild retrace. Sometimes when this happens, there is some bullish follow through the next day before more down, such as this past Tuesday.

When you say count the shorts and longs, how? Options? Stocks?
Very confoosed here.
Ty, TT, I count on my fingers. Hope it's not too many.
:)

Next week, I think, after Monday.
Short CMG since 3100 via puts.
Dark pool selling nonstop on AAPL, in case anyone is interested. Stop me before I post again.
250, that will be the lucky deal.
Schneidke, can you do your magic on 9/18 calls and puts and get back to us on the board?
If too much trouble, don't bother.
But why are people complacent now, when the 2020 crash was so recent? It doesn't make sense. I suppose it would be retail investors, because institutions were buying VIX futures last month and dumping NDX stocks.
And I'm supposing it must be young retail investors?
Amazing you can stay so calm trading. Are you naturally a calm person in general?
Yes, I projected a rally on Friday going into Wednesday/Thursday morning, then down and I believe i posted it too. Was taken aback by the double low on Tuesday, though.
The low of today just doesn't 'feel' like the low of the week. On the SPY options expiring tomorrow you can see the SPY pinned between 338 and 342, but there is an interesting 100K plus on the put side at 330.
Thanks, Jim. Yes, I see your point. The thing is, the counter rally could come from a lower price.

Too obvious, but you never know.~d eom
310? Really?~d eom
