I obviously missed the overnight move. I don't like this. Maybe it rips higher and doesn't come back. Maybe they punish the new longs this morning. I don't know. When you don't know what to do - do nothing.

This is a classic move… they dumped retail from the top on the fed meeting/Ukraine fear. Now they re-enter overnight before retrial can get back in.

Not going to ATH just yet but I think their target was met on the low and they they proceed to run up retail again.

Any suggestions?

But remember the (big) volume on that dump vs the (small) volume on the way up. Would a MM really lose out that many shares just to get retail out if this is going up this morning? That doesn't make sense to me. If this is a pre-planned move it makes more sense that they dumped a lot of shares yet got the price right back to where it was for another bull trap.

Although it does seem more likely that different people are getting different information and that's what we're seeing. Weird wild stuff.

It's is weird. I'm selling my calls when green and sitting on my hands for a couple days. Maybe pick up cheap puts

McInnis just got the free trial of Bookmap enabled on ThinkOrSwim. Gives me access to AAPL, MSFT, and............./ES.

Can't get it to work, I'm afraid a firewall at work is to blame

Yup, the TOS support folks tend to agree. Something here is blocking bookmap.

Opened at $308 and fell quick to $303.

Dead cat bounce ?

It feels anticipatory.

Everyone is waiting for who moves first.

Haha, looks like the purposely stopped me out to bounce back up. Oh well. Is that what keeps some of you from putting in stop loss orders

Yes, I never use them, but that's just my personal preference.

I usually put at Stop in if I have to step away for a meeting or something.

Sold my Fri $SPY 447c for a nice double, and then it immediately blasted up a full point.

Sans my morning T joy, all indicators i'm watching are in a confused state. Some settling now (851am) but something looks/feels off.

VIX below 29. I can see it getting near 27 today. Hold on everybody, but please follow the advice 30k gave for fed minutes today. Watch your movements and set stop loses if you are able.

I'm up 9% for the day already and largely out of any options. I may just end up watching but I'm watching 1/28 $450C SPY for a little while longer.

My totally unsupported wag is that we pin spy at 450 friday

I sold all of mine at yesterdays peak. I hate being disciplined. it's stupid and ugly.

---

LOL, you're staying green though. All I had coming into today was a tiny put/ call spread strangle.

I haven't looked at levels, but seems like we could buy puts here and close our eyes. Short squeeze in progress, nuts.

---

hell yeah, bought back the sell side of the put spreads at open, the naked put ran a bit til it looked like bottom (snagged 40%), holding call spreads for max gain.

Board is being set here IMO. Cover for delaying

Anyone done any due diligence on $ET? Trading at a 5.4 PE, paying a very nice dividend and Nat Gas prices going up.

Adding some Q puts as a hedge here.

Upgraded this morning, saw it at $18.xx a couple days ago and wanted to take a big bite.............didn't.

I have jumped in and out on them recently and waiting to get back in but have missed some entry points.

They have a big lawsuit from Vistra claiming ET is going to shut off there gas to generators if Vistra doesn't pay their large bill. I think it's just a head fake from Vistra though. ET is due get some cash soon.

I can jive with that.

It doesn't support what I mentioned yesterday evening though. I am willing to pay a little more premium today for the 1/28 $450 to grab a wilder reaction to any green movement from here.

I still think tomorrow gets ugly with the earning calls tomorrow.

NUE and LUV both report before open and I am expecting great reports from both. But in the end I think we start getting bad guidance moving forward for most calls coming in over the next few days.
