Thanks for your kind words. I'm not at my best today. It has nothing to do with the market, I just have shit load of things to take care of. We are moving to a bigger facility, so I'm trading in a mess! Bugs the shit out of me!
You want me to come over and help you sweep? lol i am ******* long energy and not one soul best flinch. alex
fwi.. rolling into August oil today at the close. last day for july crude futures. bids are firm. alex
fwi... the last 'official' trade on XLE $45.44 messed up charts. they may hash that one out. the preceding and following trades occurred in the $44.90 area. i know state street likes to get a good print at the close but this is a bit too much to go unnoticed. be good. alex p.s.-- ..."and one day the bottom will drop out" edit: $44.92 fixed
Hey Maestro, nice call on those Naz stox the other day. And BRCM support too, as well as Samson who forecast a retest of local highs. I'm in almost all covered calls and ratio writes, but I did take the breakdown short on ASH today using the underlying. The number of views you guys are generating suggests that you are providing a good service for EliteTrader members. Well done and thanks.
Ok. What i did this morning: i had XLE long and sold it as the reports came out. after some volatility and price degradation i opened a short position in XLE about 11:30. i just covered the short 11:53. flat as of now. thanks. alex edit: as many of you know that have a clue about daytrading it is foolish, useless, and nearly impossible to post in realtime. but, for the record, the XLE long was a bust trade because i didn't wait for a better entry and bought it at $45.35 yesterday--sold $45.38 today. However, i managed to get into the short at $45.04 and covered at $44.62. With this being said, this is the last time i post exact numbers.
RIMM closed out yesterday at BE....dope slapped me enough times today to call it quits...got a little back from PLMO.... (alas, and ahhh crap)
Selling a lot, a lot of PUTs. July and August. Many NASDAQ stocks and some NYSE. Sensing pull back up on Monday. Will be prepared for strangles if needed. Will not use more than 30% of capital (not leveraged). Also, will sell some oil puts.
