Natural Gas Drops - Then Market Drops?

Posted by philr on 4th of Mar 2010 at 10:40 am

Seemed just when the NG report came out the markets starting tanking. Very strange. And I feel for anyone holdingn UNG. What a disaster. But good for keeping your homes warm! Cheap gas.

I like to trade SCO - especially if you can short it and put decay on your side.

VIX

VIX 15

FYI - I've been short VXX since Friday and that has been great. This volatility thing is very interesting to watch. VXX is longer term and does not match the VIX but it does move very nicely and trends well.

$VIX vs VXX

VXX 15 min chart - watch this chart next week!

Posted by philr on 13th of Jan 2010 at 03:25 pm

I've been watching both and the VXX doesn't always follow the VIX. Look at the 2:30 to 3:15 today. VIX was up and VXX kept dropping. Why is that? It really doesn't track well.

Don't count your chickens just yet...I like the systems, but the DJR seams a little overbought. Don't be surprised if the system looses today.

Anyone here shorting NKE? Looks like some people are. Lots of volume today and down $3 this week.

In an IRA you can't buy/sell until the money clears. That's about 3-5 days usually I believe. All brokers should be about the same. Don't day trade an IRA account is the answer.

Anyone taking FAZ or SRS home? I grabbed some earlier when the market peaked. Thinking of selling 1/2 at a profit and letting the rest ride.

Interesting day. I took your advise. Closed out my DRV at 18.73 and shorted. Nice play today. I love our the DJR move ahead of the market. You could just tell that once we started to go positive on the SPY the DJR would take off. It dropped too much this morning.

Thanks.

Thanks. It worked out well. Nice call.

So what do you do today? If the market trends down all day to you get short again? What's your next plan? I'm nervous about missing a big down day since I grabbed some shorts last night and took a guess the # would be over 10%.


Or maybe the market will follow your purple path from the update last night?

They are having server issues today. Spikes and data issues. I got 10 free trades for complaining. What a joke.

Data Spikes

Posted by philr on 5th of Nov 2009 at 10:08 am

Is anyone getting the crazy data spikes today? I haven't seen them in a while. One second TZA is 13.30 the next it is 13.45 and then back again. These can't be real orders. I'm using TDA for my data today.
