feels like there's a hell of a lot of BTFD'ers out there and it's struggling to go down. Just in puts on the short side so not too much risk. I think even if we ramp and they expire worthless i'll be more or less BE on teh day with the options account since lucking out with the NQ put exit. We'll see (e,g open postitions are all at about their max loss at the moment and about the same as my nq winner)
daytrading (proper/futures account). Up about 14 points. felt like i traded crap so i'll take it! flat for now
taco? Dow ticks higher as investors bet Trump’s tariffs will be lowered: Live updates https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/13/stock-market-today-live-updates.html Stocks were little changed Monday even after President Donald Trump threatened high tariffs on more countries over the weekend. Losses were kept in check as investors bet those duties will eventually be negotiated down and looked ahead to a busy week for second-quarter earnings season.
stopped -4 classic BTFD day in hindsight I guess +10 ish on the day now on futures account Options account LOOKING like a BE day (all open positions worthless at the moment wiping out the gain on the NQ puts) but will check back before close to see how we're doing But back to work tomorrow so less posting from me. Happy hunting!
Not willing to bet against ES making a new contract high but daily chart has been making lower and lower ATR readings since late June, so I'm not the only one thinking the swing high might be getting closer to happening.
