They hammered XLE with deep in the money calls end of day, which is nice for many here.

Anyone on here trade through 2008?
Yep, started in '95. Experienced the dot com bubble and implosion. You could have named your company "Company is a fraud and will never make money", but if you added ".com" to it then it'd spike 3 fold or more when you went public.


One thing I have done is my research. The dotcom implosion was actually the beginning of a 10 year bear cycle ending in the Great Recession. Once you see that those 10 years were a 3 wave correction of a very long term bull cycle, and then the steep trajectory ever since is because we're in the final stage of the long term bull cycle, you start to realize where we are today.

So I've been trying to trade based on key levels using call and put triggers and support and resistance as targets.

It's non-biased trading. Seems like in a bear market, lots of $ to be made unbiased using options to the downside.

I see lots of talk about extreme bearishness. In 2009 SPX traded at 666 and DJX lost about half its value from the peak at the time, 14K. I remember thinking "wow 14 thousand" before it happened.

A bull cycle ending does not mean that a major bear of all bear cycles is what's next. It is quite possible that we are in a lower market position than now a year from today, but we may also generally tend to trade sideways for a couple of years. There will be opportunities but it will not be as easy as having a downward bias. Shorting is harder because equity markets are designed to always go up.

Keep in mind that strong individual stocks will always out perform, regardless of market conditions.

In 2008, Walmart, Family Dollar, and Amgen were all positive and up on the year.

You guys all know the buy and sell signals by now, and you definitely know that the point isn't to bottom or top tick

1) buy at -3 ATR (especially on the weekly) when a reversal begins to take effect. Set your stop at loss of the low. This is how you manage risk. Sell or trail stop at +3

2) cash is a position. Position size effectively. For trading stock, use a 10% stop loss. For long term holds, you decide

3) buy stocks in an uptrend. Sell stocks in a down trend. There's no need to be contrarian. Go with the flow

4) volume volume volume. It's always a bull market somewhere

Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook, and Microsoft are not going out of business.

Neither are Berkshire, Walmart, Target, Verizon, Amgen, JP Morgan, Southwest Airlines, and Disney

Depending on the size of the investment, it could take real balls to set a stop-loss at 10%.....but I think that's the right number based on my limited experience. It wouldn't mean anything coming from me, but leaving your money in a stock that's trading sideways or worse for months at a time is not good.....cash would be better - especially in this market.

A 10% position with a 10% stop loss is 1%

Looks like WIX finally has found a bottom. Down more than 50% from earlier year highs and looks like making higher highs and higher lows now on decent volume.

Could consider going long here.

especially if volatility sticks around a while. These violent swings are great for scalping. On Friday I watched VIX and QQQ simultaneously and went 2 for 3 on scalps. 3rd time I should've played a put seeing the rounding formation it was making, but live and learn (tight stop, small loss). Still did 18% positive avg on the 3.

Is there a way to filter out stocks that are -3 ATR on different charts?

Maybe I am a dum dum but I haven't been able to figure out how to find these with out looking at all the individual charts themselves.

You'd probably have to write a thinkscript or something similar. And I'm a Neanderthal at that stuff.

I have shared a -3 ATR script in this thread.

I'm only on mobile for the next 5 days or i'd share it again. I'll see if I can dig it up

Serious conversation: Is Biden gonna kill the market on Tuesday? Talk of death and despair?

The fact they are announcing this talk 3-4 days in advance suggests it's gonna be a major talk. What is gonna happen? Need to watch option flow for SPY Monday? Hoping for a relief bounce tomorrow so I can sell some of the calls on swinging, then prepare for carnage.

The market will assume the worst, overreact, and then probably rally. It might get ugly tomorrow, but unless you're on margin, then you should just weather the storm. Even if he mumbles about locking down the US, he can't force states to comply. Florida will be the first to tell him to ****off and other red states will right after that.
