  1. that was some of the most skittish action I've yet to see with SPX heading up to test 2000 cash...

  2. Nice Max...was scaling into some IWM puts, it was nerve wracking as the price action with ES up around 1990 was very spikey.

    Thx, down to a third of it now, so its going to be painful to watch, but i really think we could tank here and re-test the lows, im useless at holding ES positions.

  4. NQ might become the best short of the bunch...It was really lagging on that test of the highs in SPX.

    Yeah i really need to get comfortable with the options, i dont make many comments on the ES only cause i dont trade it daily, i just use it to subsidize other earnings when its at extremes, but it seems im fairly accurate at predicting 2-3 day moves inn volatility, im just really bad at holding through it, cause i have it so engrained in my head to day trade things.

    I love that idea of selling the puts though.

  8. It is really challenging to trade this stuff, in general...This market is constantly trading on the "trap and harvest" paradigm, it seems every intra-day move comes out of a major squeeze in both directions...I'm not comfortable trading futures with this kind of action,
