hard not to look at SLV option leaps without wide eyes

considering some march 20 VXX puts on this spike

anyone looking for bounce support fir a daytrade?

MMM looking like the VIX chart today lol

conspiracy theory: young chinese millenials deveolp corona to take out communist boomers and surveillance regime?

VIX is getting hot. almost up to 50 earlier?

my theory is that corona spread should slow drastically in the US for two main reasons.  

1. We have much more sanitary public areas than Wuhan

2. Weather is warming and the viruses tend to become less deadly over time

3.  Bonus: Mike Pence is in charge

kicking myself for not buying a few more SPCE calls when it dipped.  the march 20th 25 calls up well over 100%

Yeah I'm not trading more than one or two contracts and more than two futures at a time.  I've traded a lot of thinly traded options and its not ideal but you just need to be extra patient to get the orders filled or prepare to push a market order through if necessary.  How long did you usually hold? 

does anyone trade seasonal futures like livestock or grains?  I was reading historically pork bought in AUG and sold in late NOV has an avg return of 30%.  They also seem to spike annually around April.  I wish i could afford palladium contracts lol.  I'm glad i opened a futures account but like options you either need a tight stop or a strong stomach and good risk management! On a side note the Ten year note futures was a great short play yesterday TN_F.  I didn't catch it but it was a big move!

holding JO, some Lean Hogs and one lucky SPCE call i just picked up lol

is Coffee (JO) going to finally launch back into orbit? Stay tuned...

Also going to apply the question to silver.  I know they are all speculative old currencies but have real world value for medical applications and electronics.  Seems that silver has been artificially suppressed for years now

Can anyone explain the pricing of GLD and GC_F the past week.  Seems to be extremely manipulated or have the central banks been up to something that affects the pricing? It’s been moving in step and against the market yet seeming to offset potential gains for anyone using it as a hedge to trade. 

Oil starting a little recovery. Could lead the market if it continues 

i would assume so Im sure matt is writing an email as we speak

you would think lots of funds and institutions are loading today with all the apparent cash lying around

looking at its hourly just explains it all, utter panic in the markets lol

If the VIX behaves and doesn't surpass it's high we should be in decent shape for a bounce.

what the max u can lose on an ES? just the full contract? haven't traded them yet
