{quote} Don't worry T.F. just takes tim with this and the losses are always controlled, pick a stock or index or etf and follow it, trade only on thursday/friday weekly options as the option is at its cheapest, study your charts. Forget EWJ, re read yor pm i sent you, range+stike=gamma
Thanks CG, will be papertrading the weeklies from now on. I am out for the week, nothing to do but watch my shitty trades get shittier. Evidently the fair value of gold is $1,385 - glad we got that settled at least.

Try looking at the Following TLT-GDX-GDX-IWM-FCX-SPY-QQQ-FB for now all have good range movements, strikes 50c apart which means there movement will surpass a strike creating gamma almost daily

end of day spike in bond yields knocked me out of TLT for a -$.18 loss on the spread... Im verrrry curious how the 113 is going to play out... Sold some July $24 puts on AGNC when it dumped hard today... got in for $.81 credit Ill close the trade out though if the underlying breaks down below the lows of today

Guys watch VXX if it gets rejected from 18.99 then we could see a retrace in this downmove of spy/dia and all equities sending TLT down again

GLD/ GDX look like there struggling to get above the levels earlier posted

GDX above 27.89
GLD above 134.56, these are the areas for calls, below 27.53 for gdx and 134.08 for gld puts, only forthis weeks expiration.

Gold is waiting for china's manufacturing data out on sunday plus new month for its decision, imo
