Options AND futures volatility traders turned bullish [THIS IS DT INTRADAY ONLY; can change fast]
ALTERNATIVE INTREPRETATIONS ARE WELCOMED
my STO on the top panel turned bull late yesterday on this particular ratio
This indicates three things:
1) I’ll have to tinker with the STO and the MAs
2) This ratio bounces like a honey badge
3) I got some spaghetti on my face

Fehro,
read the fineprints and the little sign of 1 next to it. There is a time frame for security to be delivered and operate. 1015 to 1100 and there is no operation 2 scheduled for Aug. which usually around 2 or 3 pm.
I posted what it was in fine print for today's action.

Me too, puts should have been sold at open, or at least rolled into next month
thanks for [quietly] sharing the spaghetti face, some of us find it annoying when a boardie SHOUTS the p&l from a rooftop (not you AL)

(but markets seem to have a way of bringing hubris back into the forefront
NEW lows in NYADV yet?
