- Nepenthe: @bigbartabs $TQQQ $TNA $SPXL $UDOW Following you both, and the only other one I have is $FAS, though I sold most once the $XLF fell a bit below its 8ema. Also worrisome regarding the latter, bank earnings begin next week, and I'm out of most of my $MS. That's it. Hope you're staying cool in the inferno of the foothills. Cheers.
- bigbartabs: @Nepenthe $TQQQ $TNA $SPXL $UDOW $FAS $XLF $MS ... good show buddy. Glad you are doing well with the index 3x derivatives. Yes, hot down here in the foothills. Today's not bad at 75... but hotter days seem to be coming again. What's the temp where you are?
- Nepenthe: @bigbartabs $TQQQ $TNA $SPXL $UDOW $FAS $XLF $MS Next week we got upper 90's, maybe a 100 or so mixed in. So we'll head up to Truckee for relief. Oh, but then to EDH to see my wife's mother; as you know, that's always a burner. Cheers.
- bigbartabs: @Nepenthe $TQQQ $TNA $SPXL $UDOW $FAS $XLF $MS ... I finally finished our fire season prep a couple weeks ago. Now at 70, our 5 acres seems bigger and bigger every year... between trimming trees, weed wacking, and burning piles early spring and late fall, there's no rest for the wicked!

- Nepenthe: @bigbartabs $SPY $SPX $SPXL #Core-position #Trading-positions... I'm looking to add to those positions as well, so thanks for providing us with you add consideration. I'm also heavily into $FAS, as the $XLF looks like it could hold this gap; though I'm always cognizant that we're one bomb or missile or failed truce away from a spooky reaction in the market. Would like to add to $FAS but will wait to see if the XLF holds the gap and then breaks out. That's it. Stay cool. Cheers.
- champ: @Nepenthe $SPY $SPX $SPXL $FAS $XLF #Core-position #Trading-positions... ... Real nice and I'm in $TQQQ $SPXL and $NAIL....and I'm a swing believer and I added today. Good Luck ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- bigbartabs: @Nepenthe $SPY $SPX $SPXL $FAS $XLF #Core-position #Trading-positions... for $XLF $FAS, I would set an alert slightly above the 5/19 high 51.77 to add... and then a second alert to add again slightly above the 2/19 high 52.25. At those 2 points, probably more buyer interest starts to get excited about the 2 new highs and drives it higher.
- Nepenthe: @champ $SPY $SPX $SPXL $FAS $XLF $TQQQ $NAIL #Core-position #Trading-positions... I usually follow you swing tendencies, so thanks for that. Good luck to you as well. Cheers.
- Nepenthe: @bigbartabs $SPY $SPX $SPXL $FAS $XLF #Core-position #Trading-positions... I had the first one pegged, 51.77, so I am learning something. And I will now add the second alert. Cheers.

- phgruver: Good morning, y'all. It's moved into early Summer, around here. All the spring flowers are gone, and everything is lush and green. The temperatures are very pleasant, but afternoon showers will be the norm for the next week or so. Obviously, traders are liking the weekend news, but it remains to be seen if it holds. For now, utilities $XLU and healthcare $XLV are down, while finance $XLF is up biggly! All I can say, is, stay on your toes....
- Nepenthe: $XLF $FAS $QUBT I don't follow earnings earnestly, but it seems the big banks did relatively well, which led me to the $XLF (today jumped above its 50ma) which in turn led me yesterday to take a small position in $FAS. The XLF is above its 200ma as well. Another I'm interested in is $QUTM, which led me to $QUBT. Early, but it's up 7% today and perhaps on the verge of a BO. That's it. Cheers.

- joelsg1: @DavidK $SPY $XLF All my posted puts which I was happy to close for huge returns in $LULU and $RH are much higher today, and all my short upside calls in most every share I own of everything are dropping into oblivion, but I was nowhere near properly hedged into this self-immolation.
- DavidK: @joelsg1 $SPY $XLF $LULU $RH my trading account ( play account ) I use on E*Trade took a about a 6 % downdraft yesterday initially . I said to myself , self , this isn’t looking good short term so I dumped all longs and started sniper shooting shorts via puts . Presently I have made the 6 % back and up around 2% . I feel fortunate .
- joelsg1: @DavidK $SPY $XLF $LULU $RH Might be time to pivot again, see $DECK.
- bigbartabs: @champ $FAS ... $XLF that drives FAS has 6 days of declining volume. Might be because the 100dma is coming up as resistance. Or maybe just declining after 2 good days.

- Nepenthe: $XLF Down to the 8ema. But will it hold? Added to $FAS; tight stop. Cheers.
- Nepenthe: @bigbartabs $XRT $RETL as is the $XLF, probably following yesterday's and today's--$MS--bank earnings. Wish I hadn't cut back my $FAS position yesterday, but still have some while it marches up the upper BBs. Will now use the 8ema for either adds or stop. Cheers.
- bigbartabs: @Nepenthe $XRT $RETL $XLF $MS $FAS ... yep, when a ticker is strong, and above the 8dema... that's where that channel can be used for day trade actions... the ticker new highs and the 8dema pullbacks.
- Nepenthe: @bigbartabs $XRT $RETL $XLF $MS $FAS Ah, you've taught me well. Cheers.
- bigbartabs: @Nepenthe $XRT $RETL $XLF $MS $FAS ... that's how it all works here in the forum... as we learn, we all pay it forward. The circle of life (and trading :)

- Nepenthe: $XLF Breaking out. Probably on bank earnings. Added to $FAS. Cheers.
- Nepenthe: @Wolf #Banks And I'm guessing, even hoping, that the market's anticipating the others doing well next week--C, BAC,GS,MS etc--and that's what's pushing the $XLF higher today, and maybe even higher next week, should their earning's surpass expectations as well. Added to $FAS, and will see how it all plays out next week. And so it goes...Cheers.
- djgustoso: @Nepenthe @Wolf $XLF $FAS #Banks I added to my long $46 XLF Nov calls, have to like the action here, big breakout on volume, assuming all the other big banks will follow along. Not as sexy of a trade as tech, but I view this as a steady winner with low drama

- Nepenthe: @bigbartabs $NDX By the way, isn't the elephant in the room upcoming earnings? Banks start reporting Friday, followed by tech at the end of the month. I have a small profitable position in $FAS which I'll hold over the first few days of bank earnings. Were it not for earnings, the $XLF looks poised to break out--BB's are less than 4%--but as we know, if they disappoint, it could go the other way. Just random speculation before the political fireworks in November. Cheers.
- bigbartabs: @Nepenthe $NDX $FAS $XLF ... I've got an XLF hi / lo range alarm... 45.89 / 45.34. If it hits the new high, I'll take a starter position in FAS... and see where it goes. The low is the 8dema... that's most often the best point to take a starter position, if it gets there.
- DrScience: @Nepenthe $XLF Note that, generally, for the S&P Sector ETF's, a 3% BB width is a nice, tight squeeze. In the case of $XLF, the current 3.13% squeeze translates into a $1.40 bottom to top range. I'd take a position on a breakout above today's high 45.86 (close enough to the 52-wk high at 45.88) or down around 44.11 (prior resistance from this past July) if first blush in bank earnings trigger a pullback.
- Nepenthe: @DrScience $XLF Much appreciated. I've noted the figures and will act accordingly. Cheers.
- Nepenthe: @bigbartabs $NDX $FAS $XLF Well, I hope I haven't jinxed you by following along. And without soliciting your advice, that's exactly where I did take a position, either yesterday or day before or...well, a few bourbons ago. Plan goes that if it falls back to the 8, I'll add if it holds, with a stop below, and if it breaks above, then go even heavier. Ah, the best laid plans of mice and traders...cheers.
- bigbartabs: @Nepenthe $NDX $FAS $XLF ... that's how we all learn, and learned... by finding good tactics for ourselves, and by listening to how others trade. All's fair in love and war. (and trading!)
- Nepenthe: @bigbartabs $NDX $FAS $XLF And all these years I thought it was how others drink. Knew something was amiss. Cheers.
- DavidK: @joelsg1 $XLF $AAPL $MSFT $NVDA wife has about 250 shares of Apple in her long term account . Gonna have her punt this after crooks run it up to all time high and before the most likely disappointment in iPhone sales .
- DavidK: $XLF- hanging tough but if economy is slowing banks won’t be making bank . Bought Oct Puts .
