Cobra's Market View

Gap up above yesterday's high so chances are the gap won't be filled. I'm not sure because as discussed in the last night report, NFP day tends to open high go lower or open low go higher, whether the same pattern plays out again, we'll have to wait and see.

Global ES is testing the previous high, not much to say for now.

NFP data is not good.

No, it's database error. I couldn't post anything, so I restarted the http and mysql service then it crashed the table, then I fixed that.

GM!
Paging “neubie 77” and Al. Good decoding job! I am impressed…
Here are the main 2 charts which were used for acquiring those time spread positions. These charts now cover the whole day, in retrospect, and contain some annotations.

As you probably guessed, I used UPRO as a “proxy” for SPY because being an “ultra ETF” it amplifies the index moves, and also because I noticed that it has an excellent “bot-connectivity” to both futures and cash value. It also partially reflects the desirability of the moves and often precedes by 1-2 sec the moves of SPY…LOL!

On the other hand, SPY Fast Renko keeps me aware of some essential levels which one should never forget.
One more thing: I preferred a put spread to a call spread because I have already a substantial up bias…On top of that I count on a small gambling time factor: playing on the dates Dec 8-9 (Merkozy) and Dec 13 (Fed).

GL with your trades!

If you are a rock star or a bank, I guess it must be true:

COUGAR………..i’m hooked..(it’s been a while) …but have 2 study yr charts later…
[last night’s random notes] So….…if u open both legs same day, the spread is considered covered (u could pay cash) with no margin interest, right?
If u sell-to-open the short leg first on one day (then long leg on a later date), it’s naked, and you can only accomplish that in a margin account approved for nakeds Level 3 (or whatever it’s called now), and they start charging u margin interest, no?
So, do you try to avoid naked by opening both legs same day, or if different days, open the long first?
Do u construct it so the short leg always/usually expires first, so never/rarely leaving u naked?
Or, are u perfectly comfortable naked in roller-coaster market (aka really big bowls)?
Finally, do you use the short leg ONLY to offset/reduce cost of long leg?

I don't see a spot on my location. Does that mean I am invesible to google !!!

uempel, how do you draw all those charts, where do you take all those circles from? no offense but I my opinion they are very confusing, and not sure if much reliable.
