I just missed that call vert this AM by a few minutes....maybe something same or better be there Tues with a little green action
futures say we see equities gap up Tues, bonds gap down, and I will be selling calls if that's the deal

Hi TF.
My limit orders for shorting DAX and NQ was too high, missed NQ for "just" 6 points. Maybe we will get some up move on the open.

add-on
totally missed the move, furious... well, at least I have some /ES and /NQ spreads, ain't much of a comfort... The biggest 15m bar on /NQ for a long time.

BIDU may have a outlier move in it after maerket closes, i'm not in it as I just can't get in a cheap enough option but will be watching it to see how far the move may end up
far enough

TWTR has same potential for a good move after market closes, towards the end of trading session might take a strangle 4 strikes away if the math is correct

... The biggest 15m bar on /NQ for a long time.
Managed to short the pullback, and took 14 points. Scalping quota for today done. Will drink some mate tea now.

Another FOMC induced "V" reversal?
Market is oversold and there comes FOMC to the rescue. OR it is just a pullback, sit tight and watch closely.

You are filled on those also. I added to /ES Sep 2130/2160 call spreads, sold another one for $9.00 CR.

Overslept by like half an hour and got filled at the open for QQQ, IWM, SPY short call spreads ... . Shortly thereafter in DIA short call spread, only to have the markets bounce shortly thereafter. Yeesh. That's okay, though; went in relatively small to keep powder dry for Sep 11 expiry weeklies when they become available ... . Hopefully, some of this volatility is still there; it's ebbed from the indices since open ... .

Did get a UVXY short put vert filled (Aug 14 22.5/25.5) for 1.10 on this dip along with an SVXY short call vert (Aug 21 96.5/99.5) for .94; what the hell, play both sides of the coin ... .

Having already gotten out of the short put side of my AMZN earnings play (for .05 db), I took off the short call side for basically scratch, basically netting me 1.85 db for a 3.63 credit trade. Glad to see the back side of that ... . I'm 4/4 with the earnings plays I put on (AAPL, GPRO, SBUX, and AMZN), but still think they're not worth it from a strictly psychological standpoint ... .

Kinda thought we'd see resistance at 208 in SPY ... . Nope ... . Looking at Sep 18 expiry crap now; finger on the trigger ... .

Ah, screw it ... . Pulling the trigger on 215/218 SPY short call vert, Sept 18 expiry, for .68 ... .
