If you're not taking any trades at the moment, I'd open up the /ESH22 ticker on Bookmap and watch what happens just before and then after FOMC here at 1p CST.

likewise, I feel like VIX is down and due to pop and Q's and SPX look like they are rounding, but I still can't bring myself to buy anything. Maybe I'll eye a lotto put.Charismatic Megafauna said:

I posted this on the discord but strongly considering buying calls in XM today after the FED shaekup and before earnings AH. Only issue is they don't have much going on in the option chain.

Specifically, I'm watching $24.50. If you can make out a clear 5 waves down on 1m candles starting at 1:06 CST all the way down to $24.50 range, then I'll be buying $25 calls for February and hoping for fireworks overnight.TChaney said:You mean XOM?mazag08 said:
