DDS Mar15 80 PUT @ $3.40 up from $2.00

Probably more downside left, but I can always get back into it if that's the case......

Not much going on in the extreme overbought/oversold arena, but there are two that look worthwhile, but it will be determined how the market is at the open tomorrow:

GPN Mar15 130 PUT @ $1.65 or better

WES May17 30 CALL @ $3.00 or better

Both of these should be a money maker, too (get it?...moneymaker2.....??….. *sigh*...well, I thought it was funny....)

BBY Mar15 70 PUT @ $2.67 up from $1.77

Still has more downside, but might get a pop up in the DJIA this afternoon to end the week on a high note, so wanted to get out before that happened....

Added to the following:

GPN Mar15 130 PUT @ $1.15, bringing the average down to $1.30

Should be in a good position now...

Out of:

GPN Mar15 130 PUT @ $1.90 up from $1.30

Most likely still has more downside, but is butting up against the 5EMA, so I'll get out now. If the DJIA is up tomorrow, it will usually follow, so the 5EMA is a good point to take profit in this case....

I had thought the spoos would try a breakout above 2825 this week.....that's the +/- level to beat since last October. Otoh, I have just been setting up for a 5+% pullback once the China trade "deal" news hits and is digested. Good bear action this morning, let's see if it can get some legs thru the week.

Well, out of the 375 stocks/indexes that I watch, there is only one worth looking at in the morning:

UNH Mar15 240 CALL @ $2.15 or better

It may want to drop down to around $232 (currently at about $236) to bounce off that double bottom, so if futures are down premarket and it opens much lower, I may go to the 237.5/235 Call, depending on pricing

If we don't get a few days of good moves in one direction, it may be a while before an extreme overbought/oversold candidate shows up on radar....

Got it:

UNH Mar15 240 CALL @ $1.87

That should be good for some money, as I don't see it going to the $232 level today without a catalyst......

PM Mar8 85 PUT @ $0.27 down from $0.60

Took a loss on this one as I don't see it able to break the 5EMA. I still have the Mar15 87 PUTS to help make up the difference....

yep money good call on UNH. One of these days I am going to make another trade. I expect volume and volatility to continue to contract in the absence of any big news....not the waters I like to fish in.

Thanks, guys. I don't really see a whole lot on the horizon this week for my style trading. There might be some by Friday, but doesn't look like any as it stands right now...

Well, there are a couple that may have some shifted indicators due the market's up and down movement (Means the indicators don't show a perfect setup, but should be good for some money if the don't continue down tomorrow). Based on what premarket says the direction is tomorrow morning, the following are worth a look:

ALK Apr19 57.5 CALL @ $2.50 or better

GDOT Mar15 60 CALL @ $1.55 or better (possibly Apr19 60 CALL @ $3.10 or better, depends how it opens)

WBA Mar22 64.5 CALL @ $1.10 or better
