    man, it has been quite some time that i can remember such a choppy market (at least if we're speaking of the indicies). below is the intraday chart of the spx dating back to basically the start of this pullback in the beginning of august. there have been a series of 11 different rallies ranging between 1% and 4%, and in between each of those rallies has seen 10 different declines that has seen the same range of 1% and 4%. "long live volatility" as frankie would say. it's definitely a traders heaven these days if you can capture it. but in the bigger picture, we've haven't gone anywhere for the past month in the spx. :p

    The SPY volume on today's rally not high--might have a chance to re-enter long at 2900 again

    Yeah while we had a lot of volatility, the market pretty much has gone nowhere lately :p

    Apple event next Tuesday, but seems like there is no hype about it at all this time or I am not paying enough attention to news :p

    At this point, I don't like the idea of entering long above SPX 2900. The risk reward is not worth it. It could break out above 2940...but you have to be sensible

    This is not based on my theory. Just a thought. I'd like an entry around SPX 2800 to 2850 one more time for a possible re-test of the ATH

    Cool data bigbear. VIX has been over 16 for a month, and we've only moved 2840-2940 SPX, but of course many times crossing top to bottom to top to ...

    I dunno how many of you all hedge your ports with an inverse ETF like TZA, but August has been awesome for selling calls (short term weeklies) against those hedges. With all the market whipsawing, they've been expiring worthless for a set up to do it all over again. You know it's fun if you're making $ hedging the hedges.

    All the AH reports are falling apart.
    Has been an unkind season for cloud stocks ever since SPLK.

    PANW has recovered.
    MNK down nearly -50% after hours, my headline reading says they are going to restructure the company.
