You are so much better off fully understanding how equity trading (stock trading) works before you foray into options. There are a hell of a lot of moving parts to options, so it really isn't that easy to just quick explain their price movements. Here's another source of info, and a great one...

Turned at 450.69 my pivot is drawn (since Sept) at 450.90 ... its never an exact hit, but.. expected level after we moved so much so quick this afternoon. Again, matters more if youre in a trade for the day and looking for profit taking levels. You'd want to at least be trimming profits coming...

That's been a significant level since September last year, so.. yea... ignore it all you like.

If you ignore the 451 pivot, sure.

15:00 *(US) FEB CONSUMER CREDIT: $41.8B V $18.1BE - Revolving credit: +20.7% annual rate - Non revolving credit: +8.4% annual rate Inflation making everyone go into debt into a rising rate environment. What could possibly go wrong?

In these times, every day is a Fed day. (They cant stop giving speeches)

Remember we have two Fed speakers starting at 2pm. We can punch this bounce right back down in no time.

I did manage to grab some TQQQ at $52 though. Win some miss some.

Man missed that AMD bounce. Ah well

Just came to post about that nearing the level

I 1000% agree. My post was in jest.

Nothing we can't bail out. 12:04 (US) House passes $55B COVID relief bill for restaurants and businesses - press

I had LABU calls a month ago. Right idea, wrong timing. Healthcare has been massively oversold and seems to finally be catching a bid.

10:45 (US) Fed’s Bullard (voter, hawkish dissenter): Leaning towards supporting 50bps hike at May meeting but will watch data - Q&A with reporters - MBS sales are not imminent; Want to get passive runoff started then assess later - Recent spike in yields means the Fed is not as far behind the...

09:04 (US) Fed’s Bullard (voter, hawk): Current Fed policy is too low by about 300 bps - Even a "generous" reading of monetary policy rules show federal funds rate of around 3.5% needed to fight high inflation vs current rate of 0.25% to 0.5% - Important that the Fed now ratify the guidance it...

Buffett finally buying into the market and finding value in HP. 06 Apr 19:44 [HPQ] Berkshire Hathaway files Form 3, reports purchase of ~121M shares in the co.[~11.4% stake]

My greatest concern going forward is Q1 "surprise" misses from the Russia / Ukraine fallout. Quite a few companies are going to be writing off assets in the billions, let alone lost revenue. If we start rolling in some Q1 earnings losses and some mediocre guidance, I think we can easily see back...

Too big of a round number there at $100. Bookmap shows about 330k shares of liquidity sitting there in open orders. Not sure I would have got the fill right at $100.

Neither of my orders hit today. Waiting patiently.

14:00 *(US) FOMC MAR MINUTES: OFFICIALS GENERALLY EYED MONTHLY $60B CAP FOR TREASURY DRAWDOWN; MANY ON FED WOULD HAVE SOUGHT 50BPS MARCH HIKE IF NOT FOR UKRAINE WAR - No decision yet on start of balance sheet drawdown; Participants expected it would be appropriate to begin this process at a...

352 is a QQQ pivot and what has paused the selling. SPY is following (for now). I think we are going into lunch chop now until Fed 2pm.

This $DAL chart is some strange market fuckery today.

re @Sanrith Descartes I've been around FoH since the old days of Furor running the joint. However, I really only spend any time in the finance threads now. I just don't have time to argue with idiots anymore elsewhere in the forum.

My son was born March 2020. I dropped $1k into a custodial account on SPY (priced on his birthday). Hopefully that can show him what compound interest can do at some point down the line. Timing was pretty darn good for the dip buy!

House prices were 1/8 - 1/4 of the cost of now.

In fairness, the QQQ only closed above the 200D once. I still stand that we can pullback SPY to 200D and consolidate a while.

It had popped to $204 before retreating back slightly. It’s surprisingly held the move here at $193 for a while. Tomorrow should be a fun watch. FWIW, I don’t trade the meme stocks. Outside of my risk / reward and trading edge.

GME on the move. News of a stock split.

Afterhours block went through. Roughly 1.7 mil shares in a single 1sec candle at 16:03:09pm

Update! 10B to the sale side! That's significant

I still dont think the last 2 days are of any significance whatsoever. What have retraced a huge chunk of the index since 15 March with only 3 red trading days (inc today). It is quite normal for profit taking and would be healthy to have a retest of the 100, if not 200D. Finding continued...

early look MOC 1.5B sale Nothing of significance (yet)

Happy? lol

Hadn't they already done this a while ago?

100% the same. (Read above) Some of the best trades are often red slightly before going very green.

before anyone mentions my market order, I had a limit order for 456.1 since yesterday but was feeling yesterday's low was going to stick here so fired the market. I can take the chance 35c higher. In the same trade plan as Blazin though in that I have size for buying lower. I basically pyramid...

Stop shadow trading me.

At first I thought it was a typo.. thinking: "What 2018 housing crash? .. oh 2008? .. no.. that chart says 2018.. hmm" <picard>

SPY pulled right into the 455.91 pivot nearly to the penny. If this doesnt hold, we're likely straight back down to the 100D.
