Great chart. Like the doji being formed today to, good luck.
Good thing we didn't follow through with a straddle on GLD. Nothing happened with Bernanke.

Just crazy last few days - tons of trendline breaks, almost all short. Pretty much the only long breaks are penny stocks.

Picked up Nov 37x puts on XLI at $1.18

Picked up Nov 35x puts at $.34 on XLP, trendline break downwards. Program only giving out trendline breaks to the downside today; no RSI long plays due to multiple bearish patterns it picked up.

out TLT 124 calls at 1.29.

long $XLF Dec 16 calls at 0.42
pftq (Official) says in Stocks Daily Discussion...
Picked up XLV Dec 41x calls just to avoid having too much of my portfolio weighted towards shorts.

Program didn't consider the dip Friday for AAPL as strong enough for a break. We need to close down strongly today to confirm it or the support will remain.
pftq (Official) says in Stocks Daily Discussion...
A bit late but picked up NVDA Oct puts at open this morning at $.55. Will probably get out today at close as that's when program is designed to exit after shorting Friday.
pftq (Official) says in Stocks Daily Discussion...
Can anyone run rsi2 on the etfs? Any signals with the most recent dip?
ItsMeexD (Guest) says in Stocks Daily Discussion...
long $TLT 124 calls at 1.02.
pftq (Official) says in Stocks Daily Discussion...
Bah, didn't have connection to close out of NVDA under $12 today, despite my program's exit. Going to hope it doesn't rebound too soon tomorrow.
pftq (Official) says in Stocks Daily Discussion...
Potential support break on NVDA. Watch the close for a stronger sell off (instead of just the edge of the candle breaching the trendline).

DB puts working out. Nov 45 puts trading at 2.18. Got in at 1.45. and that trendline on aapl didnt hold.
pftq (Official) says in Stocks Daily Discussion...
Thanks for the heads up - I forgot about AAPL. Very interesting today. A handful of indices also flagging a bearish trend, so my RSI signals become muted (no more buy on dips on those). Not yet on SPY though.

No bottom for GLD on daily yet at least. If anything, it just broke 168 support pretty badly.
wd1040 (Guest) says in Stocks Daily Discussion...
Hmmm.. Should consider exiting. Had large entries on gold 1720, one of the major fibs. If anything, should be a pretty good corrective bounce this afternoon

Maybe for minute-to-minute. On day-to-day, SPY still has to break the intraday downtrend before we can be sure the sell-off is done.

Yeah no break of the intraday downtrend. New lows. 
NVDA also up 30% since the post on next week's puts.

Tech Trader now has a brain.
pstec (Guest) says in Stocks Daily Discussion...
did appl just break its trend line?
pftq (Official) says in Stocks Daily Discussion...
It looks like it. I was surprised as well. Need to see the close though - there are conditions to detect "bad" breaks and so far the program isn't flagging this as a break so I'm cautious.

happy 25th anniversary! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Monday_(1987)

Incase the humor went over the heads of some, the Tech Trader AI is now functional. You can mix/match indicators and it will tell you how to best configure them.
Useful also if you are writing a new indicator and are not sure of what the best thresholds are; instead just make them settings and the thresholds still automatically be found.

APOL is the new RIMM.
pftq (Official) says in Stocks Daily Discussion...
BBT puts from Tuesday working great so far, currently 1.5 from $.80.
pftq (Official) says in Stocks Daily Discussion...
No new trendline breaks so far today but a few Bottom signals. Ironically one on APOL.
Note the Bottom signals don't specify how long it might take to bounce - we could flatline for months from any of these.
Also depends on how we close today as usual.

I am. CHK just cleared the big resist at 21.50. I'm hoping for a close 21.60-21.65

Meh, BK makes me sad. Just going up even higher, no pullback for me to enter.
