Quoting The Fool
{quote}...I still see upside for US indices, thr next big thing is some kind of "deal" between China & US on trade. With that out of the way we should see new ath's across the board.....
...2-3 weeks later new index ath's and China "deal" always right around the bend....looks like there is plenty room to run and a big news day on China trade front will be worth big green yardage....I guess one might surmise spoos 3,000 could be a target for the next 4 weeks or so. I might stick a fly on it.

bear wild cards sos....nothing scheduled....non-tradeable. bullish trades only...

Well, I think I might have another issue with my charting program....don't think I tweaked everywhere I needed to when I reinstalled it the end of last month. .....
I think I might have it fixed. I'll give it a couple of days so I can compare the end of day indicators to make sure.....

Hello guys. I have been trading forex for a few years and and decided to get back into stocks again after doing poorly 20 years ago. I have done a lot better with stocks than I did way back when. I had never tried options until about a month ago and am absolutely enjoying it so far, especially when I get it right. Just wanted to say hello and I'll be watching along.

Bought some puts on Boeing (BA) earlier 375 puts for tomorrows exp at $1.73 so a little risky so near to expiration. The market as a whole is in consolidation and has been for a while as we are at or near all time highs so it could go or retreat.
BA is my preferred play.

BA as of writing was $375.86

Seems I have it fixed. Looked at the coding and spent days verifying, and then happened upon one little obscure checkbox that got me to another checkbox for EOD smoothing.....that I don't want to happen! Fifteen seconds, problem solved.

Occam's Razor proven yet again.....

After two weeks, I'm ready to hit it again next week!

Well, really not a lot in the extreme overbought/oversold arena to start the week, but there are a couple worth looking at in the morning:

SHOP May19 250 PUT @ $3.10 or better

SMG May19 90 PUT @ $0.55 or better

IDXX looks promising, but off-hours quotes are skewed pretty badly, so I'll see what the market bears just prior to opening in the morning. Might be kinda expensive, but I'll wait and see......

{quote} Dow futures gapping too low for a play on either today.....
I do have a Hail Mary bid out on SMG May19 90 PUT @ $0.45 in case it moves up some more. Doubt if it gets hit, but I don't want to sit in front of the computer all day while the market figures what it wants to do.

Volume is very low today, <75K shares so far.....low volume usually moves in jumps rather than a smooth direction....

still not in,but my eyes are on SPY 285/6 puts for under 40c if it ever gets there. That potential trade will be a insurance.

...I am looking at strangling SPY or SPX, may start at May20 $186 puts for $1.60, see if I can get a retrace to the downside from the early session and then get into a calendar or vert for credit...
