You don't have to wait until march exp for your lottery ticket. Look at the highs and lows today
on the weekly exp. If you are nimble (and well versed in options) that's all the time you need.
They will list new weeklies tomorrow, if you aren't comfortable trading options intraday. Just
remember, unless you are using them as a hedge, you want to get in and out quickly.
Good Luck!
also depends on how you set up your trade. sometimes you need to give an options trade time to work out. with this aapl, i was looking for a blow off top, but i was prepared to settle in for this thing to be squeezed up some more. obviously, my mar 480 puts are up by over 50% so it's a consideration to clear the trade and move on...but we'll see, depends on the action closer to the end of the day.
Wow, I almost sell my short when market broke out to the upside. Then I checked qqq on 5' chart, saw a p bar at 11:30, told myself they tried to steal mine, so I sat tight. Market dropped like a rock after few more upside bars. If I didn't see pbar I'd have sold all, include tvix. hahaha. You can't count out the power of p bar

i rarely play options intraday.
You can place the same trade over and over again, be mindful of the decay in the option premium.
Up 50% in a matter of minutes? Well done!
i think this bar could be an exhaustion bar. should see consolidation here at least.

My satisfaction always came from beating the market, solving the puzzle. The money was the reward, but it was not the main reason I loved the market (Jess Livermore)
It would appear that trendlines are something the machines have a great interest in these days. No stops and they stop the mkt. Stops in place and they run them.
As to the leading diagonal down, we had a nice a-b-c up and now this drop. Right now, in ES, C=A so the diagonal might just be an A wave. If that's the case the trend is still higher (dons Kevlar )
yes. but we can forget about omen now because too many ETFs in NYA, so unless you have stock only version NYA, otherwise forget about the omen.
