All day I noticed a pretty big divergence between the indices and their Eminis, and just have to assume it's something with opex. But it was an ominous sign to me.  No trades today - still liking my MOBI & covered calls from yesterday. SOL retested 4.35 as support today and held. Market feels weak.  Hope everyone made some money today and will do so tomorrow. Members please post your results along with your RDA of smileys!  |

Ho hum. Was holding up pretty well until the final hour. Down a little less than 3% of portfolio value today. Giving money away in LVS and VXX.

was away from the screen...
Just got back to see the horror... it appears I would have been up nicely at one time with 5K short VXX shares and 50 long 22 puts, short 23 calls.. but last hour cost me ~8K... Had I not changed the trade trigger it would have got filled at 21.7 and I would have recorded realized profits.
Mama, moody is hurting me.. bad boy moody...

No trades today....got a nice little surprise with CLNE...it's currently up 25% today...I'm up about 8% on the position after riding it down and averaging down...wish I'd averaged down more, but my history with doing so has not been good. I'm gonna let it ride now that I have a bit of a cushion. Still sucking on LVS....but I've moved from hind tit to the middle ones  |

Odd day for me. Couldn't get buy orders filled all day. Surprising considering what the futures did...not a whole lot of panic selling I guess. My portfolio was down less than 1/50th of a %...couldn't have been too much selling even though the indexes tanked (except banks...they took it on the chin again).
Waited all day for that sp1314 to get hit (satisfies a bear flag target from Monday morning). I just knew that bull flag couldn't break out until that 1314 was satisfied. Would have been much better if this had been tagged early in the day. Banks look sick as a dog and we would have to see one hell of an up move soon to make things looking bullish here.
On the bright side, the bear target has been met and the down sloping trendline from the previous high has been backtested, both during that one final drop today. If the market is to show an up move, it now has the nod from the technicals.
Bought some SOL today is all. Still have many buy orders out there waiting.
