Although did just make 6125 calls make full profits only worth $.30 cents now lol!!  It was a great calculated risk especially in this volatile market lol!!!  Lets hope we hold up at least to the cash open....

Just loaded ES at 6025.  I see this dip is likely to be bought again and buying big dips like this one is the way to trade this volatile market.  BTW, we should hear good news in the next couple days ...........................

Changed my mind was going to go long but again decided to sell the covered very pricey puts lol!!  At this stage would rather do shorts, shouldn't have been so set for smooth prices lol!!  Love the daily's now though as they are pure emotion...  How can I build an indicator for them though is the question lol!!  Selling puts especially at these index levels is risky though and I would never hold them overnight, so unless you've been around trading options for 40 plus years don't do it.  I would never even do the shortest of times without protection though and I already had some on at the 5950 level for .50 cents and just sold the daily 6000 put for $10.50 so the risk is minimal.  Lets see how they turn out by the end of the day....
