JAN VIX calls--I like the 25 and 27.5 strikes, they are working--just have to stay in that option strike price channel, (25) is 3.00-4.00

EBS, falling knife, wait for first up day and then go long

Hi Nergo
"This is his list he checks on each hour: GOOG, GS, CAT, CSCO, INTC, JPM, AAPL, MSFT, WMT."
Sometimes it's better to leave things just as they are--This guy has probably put a lot of work into this list---

I have been racking my brain about your post above, but to no avail. So, I must ask the question: What do you mean by "... leave things as they are--"

This guy uses 9 companies, right?
Maybe the guy tried 15 companies before, and that just confused him--Maybe he tried 5 before, and that didn't help--Maybe he tried 9 other companies, and got mixed results---Here's my point, once someone discovers a formula, I'd just try "his" formula for awhile, before I try to make any changes to it.

I understand, thanks. The 9 companies are just a simple indicator (not a formula) of many indicators traders can use to 'read the tape' i.e., the indicator may give a reliable hint to which way the overall market will move for the day. Example: if All these 9 companies are up 1.5% intraday at 1:00 PM and your thinking of Shorting a stock on your 'short watchlist' because its at the HOD and you think its due for a correction down (your stock is climbing higher with the 9 companies) THEN you might want to wait to Short the next day (or longer) when there is a sell-off because the 9 'major market mover companies' are indicating that day that the overall Market will probably close higher.

P.S. I just remembered: Option Addict posted something about the significant high number of Call options bought on Friday for UUP. Or, was in USO. You might want to check it out.

ok, good. UUP, did you see my GDX megaphone chart? That chart would confirm option addicts take.
