  4. well i missed a fast 30profit by being cautious and and just gettng in,
    but am hovering at b/e atleast.


    i want to hold this overnight, but have a target of 50.62, and so will cash in today if it can get to there before after hours close

  5. closed couple of rounds good shorts


    tomorrow is Stock and indices S&P and DOW options expiry day, so here is my thoughts for tomorrow

    so general feeling is since these options are sold by big players and bought by small traders , there is a possibility big players take markets to high level S&P 820 level so that options expire worthless .

    if that SP happens 820 MAY oil can pull 53 level , be careful ...

  6. thx pockets,
    i have an appetite for risk and gambling... unfortunately. i SHOULD be doing single lots and playing it safely.

    i try to post my longer term (like 20-30 minute) trades live, but the majority of my trades are quick scalps for 10-20 ticks that i can't post fast enough.

    it's been a good couple of days so far. i do much better in these inside-days than trendy days. i think, and hope, the volatility will continue as the weak demand for oil fights inflation.

  10. i looked and it didnt really... :)

    Igindex were quoting sell/buy over 52, but chart hadnt updated for 30mins.

    then as soon as 10pm hit the quote switched to the real price in the .60s,
    and the chart came back into action.


    So they basically give away lots of free money. lol
