What futures do you got your eye on??
I dont trade futures per se...but I deal with ETF options that are correlated with the S&P500 and futures or premarket trading give a good idea of where the market might trade . I typically trade SPY options but right now I got puts on the XLY (Consumer Discretionary SPDR etf) :patrice:. Bought them on Friday


when you got money involved in the shyt you cant help but see how the markets are looking first thing in the morning. you get anxious :whew:

August volatility :gag:

And every morning when I'm active I check the price of WTI and Brent Crude oil before I brush my teeth. Then I google the news, then open the chart, then look at twitter, then brush my teeth.

Breh...I tripled up on SPY calls in two weeks. :blessed: Turned 400 into 1200 dating back to August 11. That Twitter Earnings release got me out of the red too Woulda been more if I didnt make an emotional sell on Friday literally 10 minutes before it spiked up. I called it in the Boiler Room thread after the bounce that the SPY was hitting 200 by the end of august. 199.75 is the high so far but I'll take it. I need it to go down now though

i got chopped the fukk up and lost about 550 at the top of the month on low volatility so I've learned my lesson on ever trading in August again. I'm doing more research and trying to develop a swing trading strategy but it's way more complicated than I persumed, I might even need more capital. That being said I'm here in Alberta so that shouldn't be a problem :blessed:

I'm also thinking about getting into the equity game as well. My problem is with leverage and margin in equities but I think if I'm nice in CL_F I can probably do well in options/equities. I wish I knew how to program and I'd make money while I was at work :wow:

On my days off in Sept I'm 100% gonna murder it though.

options are easy I think but the hardest part is not being greedy. Most of the times I've lost it was because I was up a few hundred with quite a bit of time left til expiry thinking I could get some more money. But with options it can take so long to come up at times then one ounce of bad news/volatility and that money is gone.

Good example was back in May when I had CBS calls expiring in June. There was a day it went up about 5% on news it was selling off the rest of its Outdoor division holdings but in the same day it went up to $63 before 10AM...it went down to like $61.5 in the next hour. The next day it went down to like 60.5 and my strike price was $60 so I lost a lot of my winnings and said fukk it. It sucked because in the same period I held them CBS calls I was considering UA calls. Under amour went up like 30% in that time period :bryan: I woulda madelike 3 Gs if I chose UA instead.

The market looks to fukk with you though. Even last month I had EBAY options...I was up $200 but my target was for the underlying to hit 53. I got so close...maybe 50 cents away and then it went down and I sold to secure a cool $100 profit. The next five days were all green and it hit 54.50 at one point :smh: Woulda turned 400 into 800 but had to settle for 500. i've learned a lot and polished my technical game though
