  3. That’s a fair call but if S&P breaks 1260 in theory you would be wrong right? I personally think the economy is not good and markets are moving up because of tax cuts in corporate earnings. I just don’t see any reason to say it will go up or down though because its been like that for awhile.

  5. It would appear the market is anticipating another Apex Capital prognostication.

  6. looks to the bird that volatility will pick up this afternoon and run through thursday. this may be the last good volatility of the year. so the bird is looking for the infamous "first" direction the S&P takes after the announcement, and will go the other way. here's hoping for a brief rally right after 2:15pm that the bird can sell into.

    so bird,
    do you expect a rally after 2:15 announcement??? usually there will atleast a 4 point move in either direction after the announcement right...So a strategy that involves buying after a 2 point move up or shorting when there is a two point move downward, to close the positions after a 4 point move, effectively gaining 2 points per contract, work?? Does the above kind of strategy work?? or another strategy that involves waiting for 3-4 minutes after announcement and going the opposite direction in which it moved for the past 3-4 minutes work??

    Any thoughts...The challenge would be to make it work with one contract....Any suggestions...

  8. No. That's not what I said. Let's keep it simple, amigo. After 2:15, there are usually two significant "moves". The first move comes right after the announcement. I'm hoping that will be a bump higher so I can sell into it.
