I'm very surprised we can't get a rally. The market doesn't generally go down this fast this far without some sort of a real bounce.
We're also sitting on -3 ATR for S&P.
Holding pattern until fed speaks?

That's likely a good bet. But since Wednesday, we've gone straight down with 2 pretty sizable daily gaps. That usually doesn't happen this much without seeing a relief bounce.Jet Black said:GreasenUSA said:

Trying to Buy To Close the XOM CC's 6/17 $102's at $0.24 - I got in these early today. XOM popped about $0.70 a share right after I placed the order and I got filled. Wasn't expecting that.. That was a "hello" moment. Now, if the market wants to ride down, or up, ahead of Powell, I'm okay with it.

The XOM 6/17 $105's and the CVX 6/17 $185's I'm leaving alone for now.
Checking out. You folks make lots of money. See y'all later.
I am moving the same direction for day/swing trading. I will still trade options but will be using leveraged etf's more. I have fewer and smaller losses with leveraged etf's than options. The time decay on options makes it riskier for me. I use hard stops on both. Sideways price action can hurt you on options with 0 DTE. I am also cash account only, and the settlement period is a bonus for options. My percent returns are better with options, but I have greater risk of time working against me.irish pete ag06 said:
Been more busy with my new summer side gig, but going to probably switch to only trading SQQQ/TQQQ and SH/UPRO instead of SPY/QQQ options (outside of the occasional scalp that I plan to only allow one 5 minute bar to happen)
This will obviously limit my upside, but it should help limit my downside as well.
I have a my trademarked plankton sized cash account, the bad thing about trading these is T+2 settlement whereas options are T+1.
I am going to just cut my account in half and that will be my "account size" for the day and that should help to keep me being able to day trade.

Picked up some more $SWN just now @ $8.15 with the plan to sell @ $9 to get my cost average below the $9 point
Good bounce off $8 with sustained increased volume and I still dont see NatGas dropping significantly and SWN is printing money right now

Not saying you should or shouldn't have bought it, just keep in mind it's a 3x leveraged fund. It experiences leverage-induced decay (math) over time and typically 3x leveraged funds aren't a good long-term hold because of this.
What's your definition of long?
Seriously no clever inappropriate responses to this? This thread is great but needs a humor upgrade.

I have a gut it will be 0.5 just because everyone is talking 0.75. Unexpected good news everything up 3-4% in one day.
the numbers don't matter one bit, this is all planned ahead of time. Sell off before CPI, chop for a day or 2, then short squeeze on CPI data (good or bad).Jet Black said:Carlo4 said:Triple_Bagger said:If you're referring to equitiesJet Black said:

After the recent cpi numbers .5 won't be seen as enough. Tank.

Am I dumb for even considering moving my entire SPY position into UPRO in my Roth account?
0.93% expense ratio on that one. Good upside, however!Brian Earl Spilner said:Brian Earl Spilner said:

Well this might be ill advised but screw it. Only need a 30% bounce (last Thursday) to make back all the value lost this year. It's worth the risk for me, even if I'm not catching the bottom.
