I see AD figures are staying well above price, which usually bodes well for retaining gains. Time will tell.

Trigger line about to touch, will it be a Kiss or a Cross????

Update, still no cross above trailing indicator. Might have to wait out next 15 mins. MA's still above kiss line
What I use is for day and short term swing trades. I see so far for the day all of the MA's have crossed up and have kissed the last MA W/O breaking lower which usually is a good sign for more up. Will have update in about 5 mins.

I havent looked at the NAMO, but funny thing you should mention it, calls didn't depreciate at the same rate today as they have in the last two days.

I use a combination of different EMA's & SMA's of the ADV / DEC that I have been playing with for sometime now. In the past two days they have had me in trades both long & short, with an avg of 78% for each move and have not been fooled (Shaken out)on both down turns.
Happy Trades!

"ADVN and ADVN/Q were not very reliable today 2-bit...they were holding strong almost all day till the last 2 hours"
The ADV /DECL indicator melange that I use showed down from this AM and never gave up.

I saw what they did to the puts, but they also manipulated the calls. I find that most all premiums are pumped before a Big name reports ie: AAPL,, GOOG etc. I keep a spreadsheet of index price to option price so I was looking at the SPY's trading at 110.37 yesterday AM & the 110 calls were 2.70, today the SPY got up to 110.47 but the 110's only made it to 2.51. To me that is a big loss of premium for an option that still has a lot of time left before expiration.
HLNS
Im just amazed how they killed the premiums on options from yesterday till today.

OT How to save the Air Lines
Dump the male flight attendants. No one wanted them in the first place.
Replace all the female flight attendants with good-looking strippers! What the hell, they don't even serve food anymore, so what's the loss?
The strippers would at least triple the alcohol sales and get a 'party atmosphere' going in the cabin. And, of course, every businessman in this country would start flying again, hoping to see naked women.
Because of the tips, female flight attendants wouldn't need a salary , thus saving even more money. I suspect tips would be so good that we could charge the women for working the plane and have them kick back 20% of the tips, including lap dances and 'special services.'
Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing naked women. Hijackings would come to a screeching halt, and the airline industry would see record revenues.
And best of all Tiger would be on every flight.
This is definitely a win-win situation if we handle it right -- a golden opportunity to turn a liability into an asset..
Why didn't Obama think of this? Why do I still have to do everything myself?
Sincerely,
Bill Clinton

Have you've been using the new Power ETrade Pro? It seems to be a little cleaner than the previous version.

Thanks blasher,
My usual trade size is between 25 - 250 contracts depending if its a built position (Swing) or a scalp.

Thanks, funny thing is i use ETrade as well, but I felt that a draw down of approx. .02 was a lot, but I do see your point.
Good trading and thanks again.

SWEEET!!! Since your the options dude on this thread, and as you trade so many contracts, I would assume that the platform / broker that you use has a pretty decent commission schedule. Would you care to share which one it is?

Very scary clip, so I wanted to check it out myself. I spoke with a friend who is in a ES unit. They wouldn't give specifics or reasons, but did confirm that a box containing mask's & pills were issued recently. Hoping that they never need to utilize that kit.

I fully agree with Elliot, but what confuses me here is that EW is based on human mass psychology, not a manipulated function. How do you feel EW will be affected by this?

Interesting VIX level
On 8/22/08 the VIX hit 18.64 and then started its parabolic rise.
Today the VIX has hit a low of 18.78.
On an FOMC day. Deja Vu all over again????
