Planning the Next Move

Having been out of the office for the last week, it appears that I missed the most chaotic week of the year thus far. I had a good road map leading into the Fed and then all hell broke lose thereafter.

Day two back in the seat and I am just trying to find a rhythm. A VIX in the 20’s changes up my strategy a little. Yesterday I went for +10 in the NQ and took only one long in YELP calls. Here today, I dabbled in some Jul GS calls and a block of STP shares.

For the record, my market analysis is made up of a lot of cross confirmations in various asset classes and indicators. The only reason I am buying this week is that the $NYMO printed -98 again yesterday. Outside of that, my confirmations in other asset classes are broken, and need repair before I can start loading back into the market in any sort of meaningful way.

Right now, I am taking advantage of the volatility by day trading a few swings in ES, NQ, and TF…and trading a small basket of options. GS, RAX, AMZN, YELP, OPEN. I will look to add a few puts/shorts back near 1600.

As my signals start to align again, and I get back into a rhythm, I’ll start flinging more quality ideas. For now, I’ve got a few small bets on trying to find a few winners.

      I have the hardest time wanting to buy this into strength…but with a long enough time horizon, timing becomes less critical.

        Thanks , I just can’t see yields leveling off for at least all of July and it has been a great day trade ,
        but I know it is really dangerous at this level . Will be interesting to see the pricing on the weekly Thurs. morning with the shortened July 4th week .
