Precision Play

Watching OA pull the proverbial rabbit, a set of short dated call contracts exploding in value, is always exciting. Congrats again. If you’ve never seen this guy at work, I urge you to come inside the Pelican room and do so.

It’s important you develop your own ideas though. Even if you’re trading alongside your mate, you should have a plan. The more reason behind it, the better, because your wit and willpower will be tested, promise.

I had the RCS short signal coming into the week. I took Zillow weekly puts. When the broad market move I was seeking materialized my Zillow stayed put, making the puts seem silly. I offered to sell them all day yesterday. No takers.

Fortunately they looked worse today, as did the market, and I managed to sneak out with a win. Awesome. I also took a wonderful entry into /NQ_F using the morning levels and a bit of breadth mojo. All actions are very precise, which is how I like to trade the futures.

Bulls could not quite seal the deal today. They needed to sustain above 4490, IMO, to regain the edge. I’m still cautious.
