Be careful with short positions
Have a feeling that this could pop to the upside?
Maybe some Trump twitter or something else?

Still waiting for someone with experience to start a thread on optionstrading 😉
Could be interesting and educationally
Remember a oilguy? in ythe past that did some trades but he? stopped for some reason?
And i think Caseynotes did som trades also?

A bought option (call or put) can only go down to zero (never negative)
If you have 1000 free margin and buy a call for 100 you have 900 free margin left until you sell or the option expire
If you sell the option (before it expire) at 200 you have 1200 and if you sell for 50 you have 950
When the option expire (you should look it up in info) two things can happen, either it expire worthless at zero or with some kind of value that IG credits the account
Best thing to do is using demo to learn how it works before risking any money

If you want alert when price crosses over a level from below you should use "crosses over"
"Greater than" check that the price is greater than a level
2000 is > than 1000 and 5000 is also > than 1000

"Christine Lagarde Pledges to Review ECB’s Negative Rates"
"The comments indicate that Ms. Lagarde is eager to address worries in Germany and other northern European economies over years of aggressive central-bank stimulus, which have prompted a series of lawsuits and political attacks on the Frankfurt-based ECB."

Do you use price "crosses over" or "greather than"?

No guessing this time😁
Only play the levels!
Corrections often go in 3 waves (a zig zag) and the 3 wave (or c or whatever) is missing as i see it
so waiting for the third wave down but no guarantee..
Maybe ECB and Draghi can be" the straw that break the camels back"?

"that the price will drift up to 11 830 - 11 850 before the (USA) close"
-
My guess is that todays "sell off" was only a move to stop out some longs before the break up from the formation
that the price will drift up to 11 830 - 11 850 before the close and open with a gap up on monday so that the chase start for the buyers and the shorters get stopped out
Maybe something from the hole in jackson or a Trump tweet to give us a gap up?
Only guessing😁

The low 6 Aug was out of hours when cash was closed for the day
and there is also dividend to adjust for if comparing future and cash
Personally i prefer the future for the TA then i also get some action in Asia and Europe, its all part of the same market more or less (money never sleeps)

DOW Weekly line chart
Broken out of a 18 months consolidation
Cant see where they will find the fuel to make this rally continue, but that has never stopped them before😏
Could be a false breakout and back in the consolidation?
The key area will be 26 600-26 700 and a retest of the breakout, then its make or break?
Remind me of Ikaros

Only guessing 😎 (SP500 daily)
"The 66-year-old Fed boss has a losing record on Wall Street as it pertains to the market’s reaction to Fed’s statements and his words. He has had two winning days out of the past 11 meetings, with the only positive gains for the market coming in January when policy makers paused a string of rate increases,"

Would it be possible to add more weekly options on indices? (same as FX)
At least current week and next would be fine
