  1. By volatility trading do you mean outright trading of vix ovx, etc.. or all options in general.

  5. So the rubber meets the road at 84.40ish, I'm more of a 25 sma guy which is 83.80ish either way plenty of room to the down side.

    when it hits 20 ema, it's very likely to bounce a bit and look to touch 30 ema in next dive.

  8. Down around $ 30 total for day on all accounts. Main issue was an emotional response to making a good trade on ES only to realize that I did it on sim, so just decided to go long market real money. This was a revenge trade, I don't think I even looked for signals. Got stopped out including averaging in on 1 contract.

    After getting stopped out, market started to go up, so went long 1 ES contract. At this time CL was trading between 84.80 and 84.70.

    My thought on this was that CL was basing, and I wanted to get long before a possible break of .80. Well, CL went to 84.68, but I was not going to take a standard stop, I was actually thinking of adding there but had too many contracts in multiple markets. At this point CL broke the .80 barrier. I got out with just .10 profit although I could have made at least .20 because as stated I had multiple contracts. I also then killed the ES at a small profit and then killed my 6A at a small loss.

    Currently looking in ES to maybe go long one more time if it pulls back.
