Your Open Interest Map to the Start of August

Last week here I gave you the SPY parameters for both Wednesday and Friday (and updated them over twitter). What you did with them I have no idea, but they worked well (see below for last weeks pin information). For newbies to open interest, knowing where SPY won’t go is often just as valuable as […]

Will That 240 Strike Come into Play This Week?

Last week here in the summary of my post I wrote: “In Sum, the grind higher is likely to continue in SPY; however, a pullback into support is possible and also a buying opportunity if it happens toward the beginning of the week…..“. This was available for anyone to read and was a HUGE trade […]

Have We Bottomed Yet? Next Weeks Game Plan

Last week here I wrote that we were likely to bounce, but also to make a lower low. Both did indeed take place. The question now becomes have we bottomed or is there more downside to come and if so, how far? A look at how oversold the market is: 20-day highs went below 5% which […]

Some Crazy Sic Moves #SassyMusings 14/14/14

This market is on crack yo…..I mean WTF? Decent size gap up today, but took a little over an hour this morning before there seemed to be any conviction as to whether it would hold. I came in flat today, but then seeing the gap hold and internals strong I tried two longs. A short […]
