lol...i know that feeling, relative beta..I agee with your long..I'd join you , but I'm not permitted to trade the first 30 mins
i wouldn't have gone in either, except i had the psuedo-hedge in place. looks like you'll get a better price, lol. $ndx showing some real resiliance here.
hah! it's opex, pretty unlikely we (really) tank today, if that were in the cards we'd already be down 200 points. NQ just too damn bouncy this morning. covered 1415, naked long now. at least i have a cushion.
out YM 9746, +35. since i'm not going to be around monday, it is pretty unlikely i'll take any new positions the remainder of this week. and i have to get ready for tonight, as my beloved Red Sox battle the despicable Yankees for the right to play in the World Series. i am leaving an NQ short on the table at 1430. starting next week, my wife will be easing back into work, which means i'll be running after La Bambina during the day. i have been tweaking some NoiseBox parameters in anticipation of not having immediate access to the markets, which is why the number of trades has inched down the past couple of weeks: looking for better entries, holding for better exits. let's see if Mr Mom can Bring Da Noize.
Been busy dealing with other crap so no posting lately. Although done a little trading as time permits. I guess u others are tied up as well. Should ease later in the week.
took an extra couple of days to get me connected up, ugh. finally got on just in time to see -150 for the day and go long YM @ 9561. hope everyone is doing alright!
