Gav’s Morning Coffee 19-Jan-2007

by Gav Leave a Comment

Options expiration Friday. I might be trading , I am not sure. I would like to see a strong trending opening before deciding if I am going to jump in. While there seems to be a strong interest in Futures trading in blogsphere, I am ,in fact, start looking at options trading. 😉 I am looking at short term options trading on stocks. Of course, my focus is still in Futures. I am trying to study some basis now. John from theessentialoftrading.com did a nice video on stock options trading. check it out.

Tradestation releases build 8.2. I am still downloading.

OK, back to market. I am looking at daily chart of Nasdaq. We have some pull backs in Nasdaq as expected. Now I am interested in watching if moving average is supporting it. I am staying neutral. Premarket is showing flat. We had 3 down days consecutively.Today might be a choppy or flat day. Maybe it will form a nice dummy spots in daily chart? 60 minutes shows me negative pictures and sellers are still dominating.

I might instead spend time reading options stuffs and play around with Tradestation.

I was talking to a colleague from China (He is not a trader though), he mentioned to me , in China, colors of price bars are opposite to what we are reading here. Meaning, RED for a up bar, BLUE/BLACK for a down bar. You know, Asian, especially chinese, Red represents lucky, prosperity and …every that is good. Uhm…So, I guess I gonna change all my candlesticks color in the Chinese way. LOL.

    Hi gav,

    first of all it’s good to read posts from another fellow trader based in Singapore…. It’s been interesting to read your posts. I trade primarily in options in the US market. Like you, I have a day job and I trade at night. I usually trade 1-2 hrs each night and thus swing trading is most suitable for me. Hope we can exchange ideas as we go along.

    Cheers.
