I wouldn't say "the only" thing. Sharing the wisdom of personal insights that consistently prove out over time is important too. And then there's the mechanics of things. Best trading rigs... broker issues, advanced option strategies.... a bunch of things give credibility when shared. So whatever. Anyway, today's March 28th right. I think I'd sell near-term volatility if I knew how to structure a trade that would (max)profit if the vix falls from 16 today to 13 by next Friday. Like if you had next weeks newspaper and knew that fact.
Those Brooks trader's have been stopped on three consecutive longs on the NQ ... they usually do not have a stomach for a 4th in my experience, but once in a while they do just that ... and ES is what is propping things up it would seem. So we'll see who's gonna play boss for the last 90 minutes today. I'm going to try to lighten the load just a tad if I can get filled covers at 13.50
Covers at 13.50 filled, Stop now 16 ... worst case is now a wash ... will limit out at 3.50 if I'm so lucky
