Well fuck. Today was a punch in the dick. Oil down 7% made no sense.
Hate these non systemic Triggers. Trump has a tantrum and tweets mid meeting. He could walk it back and ES spikes 50 in 5 minutes.
I got killed on the vol rise.. had too many short units.

wikipedia says Pete Navarro ran for mayor of San Diego on a no-growth platform.

Hmmm. Now he aims his shit cannon (aka Donald Trump) at China. I kind of wonder why Navarro has such a hardon for China. But, hey, to each his own..

In the following: DLTR Aug16 97.5 CALL @ $2.25 Should be good for some money.....
Added to the following:

DLTR Aug16 97.5 CALL @ $0.80, bringing the average down to $1.53

Also added:

DLTR Aug16 95 CALL @ $1.65 which should make up any money the 97.5 misses

DIA Aug16 260 CALL @ $3.56


I have a Bid in for VAR Aug16 115 CALL @ $1.90, but I'm not sure if it will get hit or not....

{quote} Added to the following: DIA Aug16 260 CALL @ $3.56
Had a Hail Mary bid out and just saw it got hit, so I have added to the following:

DIA Aug16 260 CALL @ $2.85, bringing the average down to $3.21

So positions are now:

DIA Aug16 260 CALL @ $3.21 average cost

VAR Aug16 115 CALL @ $2.25 average cost

DLTR Aug16 97.5 CALL @ $1.53 average cost

DLTR Aug16 95 CALL @ $1.65

Now, we wait......should get a rebound day tomorrow to above 26000 on the DJIA, might even see a couple in a row...I can see the DJIA moving back up around the 26500 range within a week or so....

Ok, NOW we wait......

I think that we will see a rebound tomorrow; the entire daily candle for the DIA today was outside of the lower Bollinger Band, and it is very rare that a day like that is NOT followed by a reversal day, usually with a gap at the open. Anyway, that was my logic to get in today rather than waiting, plus my other indicators indicate a severely oversold condition....
