Hi Jeff... I heard you mention some interest in the new movie "The Pursuit of Happyness". I saw it yesterday and it was AWESOME! (bring plenty of tissues, even the men were sniffling). A definite "feel good" movie.

Jeff....In your Trading Index Options post you said "The market is one of the hardest vehicles to predict directional movement in, so I suggest that if you are going to trade an Index, do it with a non-directional trade like some of the spreads I mentioned." Do you feel that stocks have a greater predictability in movement over indexes, mini's or ETF's? I have taken some of my worse losses due to news, M&A announcements, analyst upgrades/downgrades or sympathy news from another company. It seems that if you have 30, 500 or 2000 stocks in an index or tracked by an ETF you are less susceptible to adverse price movement. Am I missing something? Thanks for your input.

Doug

Toni,

Thanks, I did want to see that sometime this week. I have heard nothing but good things...

Doug,

In my experience, trying to take short term directional trades on these, the market can move all over the place intra-day. Combine this with economic reports, and general news sensitivity, I have worse experiences trying to trade the market as a whole, than I do trading one small insignificant piece of it.

Jeff....could not find the Mini's! MNX, XSP, RMN, or DJX on the tool box.

Chuck,

Use $MNX instead of MNX. But the other symbols (XSP,RMN) are not up in the new tool box yet.

thanks for the post. I would love to practice a trade as a group. I've been paper trading the SPX trying to get a feel for it. The intra day movement is huge,but I love the leverage. It's like riding a rollercoaster.

Sarah

P.S. have a great vacation.

I have followed the spx very closely for 6 months, and feel that I may be able to day trade it. But, I am can not watch the market all day, so I just don't. I am not familiar with futures, but I heard that the SEC is going to change the margin requirement for options, making it similar to futures (risk based), so eventually this will catch to retail accounts.

Rodrigo

Jeff, et al,

IWM (Russell 2000 EFT) currently has tradable options for *December*. On thinkorswim they are listed as DEC5 and show 8 trading days remaining.

What are those options?

Thanks,

I frequently day trade the NDX. Among all available indexes, I choose the NDX because it moves a lot during the day and the spreads are not too large.
I follow the stochastic on the 1 minute and 5 minutes chart. I buy when it's in oversold or overbought zone, unfortunately it could stay a long time in either one or the other, I also use pivot points, support and resistance.
This morning I bought the January 1800 put at 9:08 for 31.80, I sold it at 10:31 for 36.40.
I bought the jan 1800 again at 12:45 at 34.90 and sold it for 36.80 at 1:02.
Today was a great day. I recomend to paper trade this before trading with reel money and always use a stop loosses since it could change direction very fast.
