-800 on ticks.

I have SPY gap at 455.90? Partial fill ok?

-1000 ticks

it's rally ass time or boobs

I just bought back the crm apr14 cc i had sold (small profit), sold crwd 220 puts for next fri for $5

I sold my shirt term calls when SPx got below 4590. We might run back up, but I was worried about it filling that gap below. This really felt like a rolling over day to me, but let's keep letting the prices tell us instead of predicting market direction.

quite the close here...

Now run it AH

I made a little bit at the close buying the tick extreme. High risk to do that, by the way

---

sorry, I know it's been asked before, when does XSP settle? 15 after? looks like it will make a difference today! grabbed 1 call before the run at the close, buying into the blood

WWR strangely suppressed every time significant volume kicks up.

---

If I wanted to accumulate large quantities of a low volume stock, I would buy hard for a 30 minute period in the morning and then sell half those shares back over the remainder of the day. That way I could move the share price back down and do it again.

I'm not saying that's what this is - it could be pumpers or failed squeeze attempts with no volume to follow through.

TOS shows there are 41.1 million shares now, that's up from around 35 million end of last year. Seen where they have an ATM agreement to secure funding, but not sure why they would be selling near 52-week lows. It's been getting stuffed everytime it tries to rally so that might could be why. Volume today was huge, so either some whale is loading up using the strategy you've outlined, or they're just diluting from what I understand how that works. Think the reaction tomorrow to the defense bill discussion will be important.

Maybe it's OA selling CC's then selling his shares, then buying back at the dip after buying back his CC's.

My /ES stopped updating right at 4 today, anyone know why? I've tried /ES and /ESM22 (June contracts). SPY is working so I know TOS is going like it should.

Market closes from 5-6 eastern for maintenance. Will restart in 3 minutes.

TIL, thanks

Was this just a quarter end thing?

It closes the same time every weekday except on Friday it does not re-open. Instead it opens at 6 eastern on Sunday.

Futures? They're open 24/5 and reopen on Sunday at 5 CST like you said, this is the first time I've ever noticed them stop trading from 4 to 5pm on a weekday.

CIDM you beautiful little beast!

Only open 23 hours. This is an everyday thing, you somehow didn't notice.

I'm out of those BAC calls. Stop was at the 10-sma. They were short term anyway. I lost $18 including fees.

---

I'm still holding.....bouncing fibs. Risky? Maybe. But just a trade.

I can't believe I've missed this, I had absolutely no idea and I'm floored by it, thanks for holding my hand through that!

I keep my charts on a 47" TV above my desk, so they're always up there. How I never noticed this before is beyond me.

So....what did y'all do with the close?

Long or short?
