RUT - BUY vertical spread to close 10m after the open with 50% of my original target.
I have many doubts about go more high today.


thanks for the info of earning calendar.

For today maybe fade the gaps in LEN if go higher.
BAC maybe spread Iron condor for premiun?
TESLA Iron condor sell for premiun ?
I start my analisys of R/R.

TESLA has been a stout sumbitch, I think it will fall this year though.

I am in the red on both trades I took yesterday, SDS w puts just atm, I need a couple good riskon days and a dip well below $42 to see good profit. Will hold til tomorrow at least. Jul NUGT calls, meh, I thought we'd get a gold bounce before the next leg down, if asia settles down we could see better gold buying. Good to see the 10yr note acting crazy again, I want to see TLT dip into $107.xx...

After analisys BAC-TSLA dont works for premium right now.
I wach LEN for vertical CALL spread for SELL at 38/39 for premiun
Reward I post in 30c. (not fill now) Risk 70c.
25 day for expire - 70% profit Vs 30% max loses.
The only problem is Volatility is not in optimal level now
i will see maybe for debit spread.-

IF TLT would boogie down that low I'd be a pig in slop. Would mean 10yr rate @3.5% or more. Just a matter of time, prolly too much time for me.

{quote} Can you explain litle more about your perception about how use asian markets ? thanks in advance.
I don't have hard and fast rules there, but I am watching the asian markets now because there has been an apparent surge in perceived systemic risk associated with the Chinese interbank lending situation. I am looking for that to pass and for some apparent heavy riskon sentiment to return to the asian markets and, if that comes to pass, a related effect in the western markets.

SDS puts turned around with a nice $0.82 drop in the underlying (with a .95% rise in the S&P, SDS returns the inverse leveraged 2x, so it dropped 1.8+%), puts went to $0.28, just need Asia to settle down and another green day in the S&P tomorrow and SDS puts could make 200% roi. Nice to see after hours TLT dropped to $107.76, matching the 52-week low...

not quite sure what you were onto there. good breakout moves can be caught anytime, kind of a stairstep setup on e/u now - step at about 1.3215, next treader at 1.1310 m/l, so short entry might be 1.313x, stop at 1.315x, catch the next leg down. I can recall many times these steps up/down running for 500+ pips. If we can keep alive the show of strength in the US economy then USD strength could break e/u 1.30 b4 the end of next week. Jobs numbers next week will be critical, the Most Important NFP of Our Times, no, wait that was last month...

If i can get TLT $107 put for around 12c or under then i'll buy, may have to wait until tomorrow. TLT is trading higher in pre market 108.44.. I would like it to trade under yesterday close of 107.88 later today to make that purchase if option price is met. The option closed for 40c so i need some time decay to take place today
