    May be timing was not that correct but I have a feeling that Friday move was too big for the market. Some selling can be expected next week with possible earnings warnings by big guys.

    Another point : I also can use this put as insurance policy for going long on the same.

    QQQ=Resistance area is 26.50 - 27.

    :cool: :)

  3. Tomorrow we will probably see QQQ between 23.0 - 25.5 The selling will remain.

  4. Sure, post them.

    I think the Friday move has more upside.

    very interesting. will have to look into that more. how common is that type of trading (an "x" point movement and then a reaction)?

  9. It happens a lot. Measured moves. A wave of selling, then a letup, then a similar force wave, etc. But once they become obvious, they often cease to continue.

  10. Looks like a move to 96-97 on the SPY in the works.

    Lots of volatility here.
