Bitcoin dipping to $550. I added some more around $555.
I'm thinking it'll form a reverse head-and-shoulders on the daily chart.

Added back a little into XRP around .0042 yesterday, keeping enough to average down if things go south again. The downtrend has been broken on longer timeframes as well.

Starting to look like XRP will not have its feared sell off. Pretty disappointing. Watching for the next low is placed to confirm the new uptrend.

Looks like something is starting. 16M XRP sell just went through and everything started trending down after that. No panic yet through.

at least that was mt gox's spread - havent looked at the other exchanges
pftq (Official) says in Stocks Daily Discussion...
MtGox went bankrupt 4 months ago. It was a sketchy exchange to begin with (the prices there frequently misaligned with other exchanges).
ItsMeexD (Guest) says in Stocks Daily Discussion...
then again, bitcoin's bid and ask spread is around $20-30 dollars so
technically a regular swing from $600 to $650 is kinda expected

Bitcoin finally breaking its downtrend. Pretty clean move out of the triangle.

We were just discussing this yesterday. It looks like Nasdaq during the
tech boom. History rhymes... Can you pull up a chart of that?

My Tech Trader program now automatically posts its trades to my virtual trading site as well. Useful for me to keep track of what it's doing from my phone and whatnot.

It's pretty much like another person trading my account for me now lol
Meanwhile comprehensive strategy is still short on SPY. Will be hilarious if the next sell off coincides with the end of the world prediction date (12/21/2012).

those QQQ calls mentioned a few days ago working out perfectly
was 2.19, sold at 2.62, now 2.74 -> and these are the march's, as opposed to the feburaries.
pftq (Official) says in Stocks Daily Discussion...
Updated bollinger bands to highlight pinches in bold red. Looks like we're forming one on SPY right now as well. Should be interesting.
Also tentative long on LRCX based on trendlines.

ItsMeexD (Guest) says in Stocks Daily Discussion...
heads up today.
Feb. 68 calls, 30,000 contracts, $0.65 on QQQ. thats a $1.95 million bet
also Jan. 2015 $190 puts, 900 contracts, $51.60 on CRM. thats a $4.64 million bet.
I will be looking to play the QQQ calls, hesitant about the CRM puts.
pftq (Official) says in Stocks Daily Discussion...
These could just be hedges to a larger position - just keep in mind.

Finally done with finals here - haven't looked at anything all week and still slowly taking things in haha 
Comprehensive strat on SPY is still short. Great bounce down from resistance, love how we sold off from QE announcement again. MACD is still bullish though and the volume isn't strongly indicative of a top.
Automated trades did ok, about flat this week with a mix of losses/gains. Need to restrict the number of RSI trades since a lot of them seemed correlated (right together, wrong together,). Trendline break trades helped even things out for the most part, namely trades on MU, AMRN, A, and DKS. FCX didn't play out at all - probably should put a filter on gap-downs (actually have one on the strat but it's for extreme % gap-downs, which didn't trigger on FCX).

Not much change in market conditions so far, just more stocks continuing to run up against resistance and geting flagged as short opportunities. Am prepared to flip long if they break though.
pftq (Official) says in Stocks Daily Discussion...
Only one new trade today from the automation. FCX Dec. 31x Puts at $1.20
pftq (Official) says in Stocks Daily Discussion...
Comprehensive strategy will cover and go long again if we close this low (close-dependent signals now labeled in orange).

Out of HTZ at $1.40 on the calls from $1.30 (missed my exit with the program earlier). SPY cover didn't happen - guess we wait more before going long lol
Finally got my trades being automated by my Tech Trader program though and it just exited Dec. calls on CE at $2.40 (from $1.75 entry a couple days ago). It also just started an entry on EWZ Dec. 52x puts at $.82. I'm posting this late cause I also just saw this myself; am away from home a lot these last few weeks of school and am not always around to post the trades when they happen (which is a good thing this is now automated ).

$1+ million in the HLF Dec 40 puts today.

Short signals from last week closed out on the dip in the first hour today. SPY for example exited at $139.05. Was worried this wouldn't play out but seems ok now. My comprehensive SPY strat is still short though, so I'm keeping a few longer-dated puts on SPY just to see where that goes.
