If we do get a bounce tomorrow, I am betting that one of the best trades will be fading the UVXY, or VXX...
US index futures pointing at a small gap up at the open. I bought back 10/3 $22 puts @ $0.15 near the close Thursday, putting me up net $0.45 on the $22/$19 spread. If we can get any kind of VIX drop Friday I will sell 10/3 $22 puts again.....

listen PTL, I like you, so I'm going to take you on as my student. I have a sure-fire system that I can guarantee will take you from an initial $200 stake to $900,000 in just 8-10 months, if you have the intestinal fortitude to follow it. Just so I can be sure you are serious, though, I require a "hurt payment" of 386 kg of Spam, up front. I'll send one of my boys around to pick that up on her scooter when you have it together. I think things are really going to turn up for you, buddy. Oh, and if you know any bored housewives who are interested in my "large lots system" (nudge, nudge) please give them my number.

{quote} I might do a 10/3 $45/$42 bull put spread for $0.50 credit....10/3 $45 put's at 32 delta...risky....but I think EWZ will bottom out here above $45 pre-election....finger on the trigger....will wait till the close...I'm a chickenshit. Pretty volatile situation, though...a single poll or news article comes out could pop EWZ either way...
still on EWZ, it made a 6-month low today. EWZ spent time sub-$40 in Q1 2014...

did a 10/18 $125/$123 SSO bear call spread for $0.60, a bet that the S&P high won't be touched again for the next few weeks. Will manage out at less than full profit if we keep getting good drops in the index, hopefully by end of next week.
really wanted to get out of the $123 short calls today @ $0.55 (down from $1.07)...missed by $0.01. Any kind of dip in the SnP Friday & I will get that done.

I sold YHOO $38.5 puts for Friday expiry against the $36 long calls sitting worthless from last week's bull put spreads - just $0.11, but given the number it buys food/gas for a month...I don't think YHOO wants to drop...
YHOO holding @ $39.00, should be ok Friday but I will be watching close. I have kinda stopped digging into the YHOO story, but I should look again, there might be some healthy upside there if risk-on sets in again.

Interesting SPX analysis... After a few minutes of talking of some individual stocks, comes SPX. Slim looking at daily chart patterns finds the same pattern like we had in Feb this year (I believe it was ~6% down)... he predicts more down momentum... "low coming in May next year"... hmmm

https://www.tastytrade.com/tt/shows/...0?locale=en-US

We will see... I like Slim, because he is simple... Over the years I have heard so many stories when and why market should go down, but it never happened... from DeMark indicators (useless crap in strong trending markets) to logarithmic oscillator theory (well something like that )... In reality - if you want any meaningful yield, you HAVE to go to stockmarket... cheap money and all...

What I can say - to me it looks for quite some time that market is trying to find an excuse for correction, and since it did not found it in Ukraine, Syria, Iraq or any other geopolitical shit, it comes back to basics... interest rates. Why wait for that increase to happen, when you can sell in advance? How much it can go up, anyways? What is a bigger chance now, for SnP to go higher 200 points, or lower?

Anyways, hope Slim is right. I will adapt to any scenario, but still, I am hoping he is right.
Hope is dangerous in this game.

Any how QQQ opens or trades lower than 97.63 tomorrow I will be looking to trade NFLX AMZN GOOG FB TWTR or any volatile nasdaq stock with big daily range and the options being cheap to the downside
could it be after futures rose in pre market which indicated we were going to have a bounce that we come back down and open beneath the price above, I may go 2 strikes out to get something really cheap if price trades beneath 97.63 on FB, AAPL, or any other

AAPL could be key stock today again. Here is the channel on daily chart (AGAIN ) Ugly looking candle right on support line. Looks it is going to be a break down this time.
