9/20 Daily Summary


I have been traveling for the past week, got on a trade during off-work our while in Europe, so it is kind of hard to manage the position, certainly not as easy as in the US, at least I'm in.. Don't have access to all my tools yet, just barelly the trading station, but here we go.

9/9 Daily Summary


Approaching trading time for the OCT contracts, so far I'm not in a hurry, as I'm waitting for a down-side day so volatility gets pumped up. Not to mention I'll be traveling for the next few weeks, so will have to coordinate my work schedule with the trading time-frame.

9/8 Daily Summary


Certainly an active environment out there, notice we're still pushing higher on the 5-day vol chart and as per the intra-day activity, we have had over 1 st deviation days to almost 60% of the days in the past 30 days.

9/7 Daily Summary


Seems like we took a break from the up-side movement. Yet on the 5-day price spike chart things are still with an up-side momentum. I'm approaching the "hunting season" for the October iron butterfly, this will be an interesting cycle as I've got some travel approaching, so will have to rely on contingent orders and my ability to manage the position with a limited schedule.
