10/16 Daily Summary

Today was an interesting day, I noticed around mid-day that we were not very likely to keep pushing lower. Here was my thinking: FinViz was not fully bright RED, a couple of S&P sectors were pushing things lower, but on a "large day" every single sector will be bright (Red or Green), to confirm that I looked at VerticalSolution and noticed a retreat in the down-ward pressure. These two indicators told me that we were likely to move around 1 st. deviation. I'm starting to enjoy reading these charts and so far so good.

As far as the positions, they're both doing great! Right in the middle of the tent! Enjoy the weekend!

Just started the NOV cycle on the MNX and RUT iron butterflies, their profile and dashboard look so pretty when it is brand new.. :)

Not much price action in the markets, once again Vertical Solution and FinViz helped identify a range-bound day.

10/14 Daily Summary

We moved a bit under 1.5 st. deviation on RUT and MNX. One thing to notice is that this move was mostly done in the first hour of trading, after that the market just moved higher slightly. I observed the Vertical Solutions' forecast was lagging behind, showing down-ward pressure, while the FinViz was showing a brigh-green heat map with stronger Advancing vs. declining issues.

This non-confirmation of sorts told me that it was unlikely for the market to push much higher and that if an adjustment was needed, it could be done by end of day. I closed the last remaining short strikes on my MNX and am ready to re-load the NOV iron Butterflies.
