bounced a bit SPY will see what this half hour candle does a close below 267.10 will keep this bear in tact for a while

{quote} It needs to do either of those anytime between now and Nov16 or actually on Nov16?
Actually I am just summarizing and I have EWZ time spreads out to Jan monthly, but most everything was pinned to either Nov2 or Nov16 front month. I had thought most of the vol would be gone after the runoff election 10/28 so we'll see if that's the case...

Well, I think CAT's gonna make some more money a little farther out, so I got some:

CAT Nov23 119 CALL @ $2.45

Usually like to get into a trade right before closing, but the weekly chart indicates ripe for a jump up and won't be much change in option price (hopefully) between now and the close.

I have very little long (and even that is months out) and waiting to see some consolidation after what is now nearly a 12% October drop, not seeing bottom yet

Well, added some more a little farther out at a closer strike price:

SWK Nov18 110 CALL @ $3.00

I figure the Nov18 CALLS will make the money back that most of the Nov2 CALLS will lose with some profit left over.

I take it back momeymaker, if we close green with a decent bull candle then that CAT trader may turn into a really good winner all depends on index futures on where they close today

these index futures are on fire today, a strong bull candle close today could result in an even bigger bull candle tomorrow

Well, time to clean up some stuff:

SWK Nov2 126 CALL down to $0 from $1.95 -- still technically holding, so if a miracle happens, might come off zero

SWK Nov2 123 CALL down to $0 from $1.80 -- still technically holding, so if a miracle happens, might come off zero

SWK Nov2 117 CALL down to $0.60 from $3.00 -- out of trade


Still have the following SWK trades open:

SWK Nov18 110 CALL @ $3.00

SWK Nov18 112 CALL @ $2.65

These need to collectively go $6.15 ($1.95 + $1.80 + $2.40) above their purchase prices to break even on SWK trades, anything higher is profit. As of this writing, they are collectively $4.35 out of the $6.15. I would expect SWK to be around 117 by the end of next week or sooner based on weekly chart.


Another open one is:

CAT Nov23 119 CALL @ $2.45
