Late Post – Market is WON after-hours…

4 September, 2015

Option Alert, Uncategorized

Spent a lot of time at the end of the session, doing some data mining, as well as : some good old fashioned charting and applicable middle school math. — Good trades or bad trades, I am always relieved when the market finally stops moving, and for futures, this doesn’t happen until 4:15pm ct. Today, […]

So… if you shorted Gold GC today, please stop reading this, you’re not welcome here! Ha… But seriously… As Crude Oil continues to work for me, and even if it is scary / not pretty, CL finding its way into the green again. YET — My focus is on the metals, and specifically in GC. […]

Often times people end up either losing their minds, or their money, before a market finally turns their way. — from trial and error, I have learned and for now figured out, how to avoid both of those extremes. *That being said, I continue to learn more about the market each and every time I […]

What do you do on these days? Where can you hide? — Seriously, I’m asking for a friend ha… but, as most of us here are retail clients – (generally buying more than selling), — what do you do on these days? As the Major indices drop about -3% across the board in one session […]

It isn’t often that I don’t see the “Sunday Futures Open”, but I was busy yesterday, and had dinner, and I couldn’t check them until a few hours in. But I checked them at dinner, of course, on the phone. — That being said, once I checked them, I was pretty aggressive to take advantage […]

Crude leads again, and I get pinned on the ES… What a week!

Well– I can’t say enough about the unbelievable performance and “justice” in the price of Crude Oil these past few days… I honestly can’t understand how we really fell this low in price (again), but at least during these last two sessions; the oil bulls have come out to rally. Front month Crude Oil (CL) […]

I know… it may only be a one day event. So that being said— why not talk about it for a moment, since the futures are still not even closed, and hit a new high since 1:30 settlement. Yesterday I posted dumbfounded regarding “Why isn’t CL rallying?” – @toddgordontrade @KeeneOnMarket Trying to figure out! What […]

Well… Most people are talking about how the Dow Jones could rally up 600 pts, and I can’t stop staring at the Spoos ES moving 10 handles every couple minutes. I sat here feeling confident that we could easily bounce and finally rally higher, as we did all night again, and finally — this time […]

Ding! Ding! Ding! – Although, again traders and investors are NOT feeling ‘saved by the bell’… If you called the “bottom” today – It would have had to have been at the 5pm futures open yesterday, or around 1am (while asia-europe traded). We had an over $3000+ move per 1 lot of any of the […]

More and more traders are starting to mention the concept of “FOMO” – It is the “Fear Of Missing Out” and it is basically fear/greed wrapped up into one slang word that keeps us in and out of trades… but mostly in them. Days like today are more than tough, they are potentially game/life changing […]
