capt. - No question about it. I do not go contrary to the market. I am still on the sidelines since I sold my calls last Fri at 1535. I now have my rules to follow which will tell me if my count is right or wrong. Once that is revealed by the market I will reinter puts or calls. I only take good set ups where the probability of profit is high and risk low. The count I have in the IBOX is my best guess.
