Pretty solid descending channel on spy hourly going back to 3/29. I just bought xsp puts

Here's my ghetto channel that we broke out of then pretty much slipped right back to today. I bought spy calls for next friday when we hit 428, and then at close. If we get a good bounce I'll trim some of them as we approach 432.5ish




423.4ish to get back in this channel, at which point the top of the channel will be about 432.3
432/433 spreads for wed for .17 seems like an easy 2-3x

If Twitter is going to accept his original offer why wouldn't TWTR go to $54.20?

Shouldn't we be buying stocks at a 3.4 discount? Or at least options?
There's always a discount to the actual, even if the agreement is finalized at 54.20, it'll probably trade at 53.80 until finality......

The risk is if Elon pulls the plug.
Plus it still has to go through all of the regulatory reviews, there are still several things that could derail this deal.

VIX needs to stay under $32 for any sort of bounce. If not we will poop some more.

I've never really been clear, is VIX actually affecting the index, or is it just reflecting what the index is doing?

In other words, is VIX lowering an indication that the index will rally, or simply reflecting it? (Inversely)

I don't really know either. I am sure someone smarter than me will. I just use it as another check for support/resistance levels.

I've always thought it was just reflecting. SPY goes down, VIX goes up.

Then again, I thought Fran was a good hire at the time so what do I know?

I'm guessing there's a bill teed up in Congress somewhere on this right now.

Either to explicitly remove Section 230 protection for Twitter, or some sort of new social media oversight committee to make sure the Party's views are protected.

That, or just more DOJ/SEC enforcement nonsense.

VIX is supposed to be a measure of changes in the S&P's option pricing. Seems like it's a slightly lagging indicator but not by much.

It is based on SPX option prices expiring the next 30 days. I believe it's either OTM or ITM options only and TRIN or some other indicator represents the other, but I'm not sure on that.

Actually it could be a forward looking indicator since big money will move options first before they move shares.

Fed special meeting is in 7 minutes? Or did it start 53 minutes ago?

Disney should pick a public feud with elected state legislators over issues that have nothing to do with Disney.

that should send their share price back to ATH.

WTI is down 6%, probably the biggest factor today.

Back north of this channel looking intraday (5m). With VIX 30+ I'm still not convinced.

I'm going to do something here that is oversharing, but I feel is an important lesson.

I made a trading mistake today. I bought 100 contracts of SPY instead of 10. It has completely ruined what was otherwise a really solid day. As soon as I realized what I did, I got out. This is the important thing for you all to remember. One mistake is killing my 65% win rate.

The problem with using VIX as an indicator for SPX is that VIX isn't inherently inverse directionally with SPX… it just so happens that downswings are almost always more violent than upswings, so increasing VIX overwhelmingly means decreasing SPX… but it's possible for SPX and VIX to move together. Both can move upwards together if SPX rips upward after a period of relatively flat growth/decline, or both can move downwards together if the market goes slightly negative after a big gap up. These are rare events but they're not ridiculous outliers (consider the past hour, where VIX is falling because SPX is slowly, moderately fading)
