SPX is trading under its 200 day while the ETF SPY has bounced of its 200 day, not pulling any trigger until the 2 align is the same direction, the close is the key. meanwhile the nasdaq seems to be its own entity

Nasdaq needs to close above 7145 later otherwise more tech dumping maybe on its way

{quote} The problem with indicator that show you oversold/overbought conditions is that they can stay like this for weeks/month so in this case I would probably add to the strategy a reversal pattern on a strong supply/demand area. But if you have some fundamental data to support your trade that can be good too.
No, they really can't. SWK was special in that it was affected twice in the same week by different outside forces, but that very seldom happens.

I don't really see a need for me to alter my strategy, as it has worked very well for me as is over the last 12 years. While there may or may not be any advantage to tweak it a little, I really don't want to put in more If/Then variances. I just like to keep things simple: if my indicators indicate I should buy a PUT, I buy a PUT. If they indicate I should buy a CALL, I buy a CALL.

Of course not, you shoudn't change anything if you consistency make money. Would you explain on detail how is the process that you follow to trigger a trade, please ?

Thanks

Unfortunately, all I can say is that I look for extremely overbought/oversold levels. I can't give specific indicator details, because unlike currency trading, options typically have a finite number of contracts available at any given price level, and can actually affect trading 100 contracts.

I used to trade with two other guys that used the same method I do and when all three of us converged on one stock option, we could watch price change on Level II option quotes as the orders were filled. The last guy getting his 100 contracts filled would often pay $0.20-$0.30 more than the first guy.

Well, if premarket futures <50 down, the following should make money:

HD Nov2 182.5 @ $1.40 or better

If the DJ opens lower, I'll hold off from the open to get in at a better price.
