November 2007 The most significant item this year is the elevated volatility, as measured by the VIX index. Not only has this rise created nearly double the number of trading opportunities, it has also helped us break records two months in a row. With no system changes since July 2005, our S&P eMini program has recorded over 70 points in October and over 50 points in November. We attribute this to the rise in volatility. The surprising part is that the system was developed in 2003 during a relatively low period of volatility. The fluctuation in Volatility has a direct correlation on the opportunities available in options trading. In general, when Volatility is high or rising, more opportunities are available. When Volatility is low or declining, less opportunities exist. In 2007 we've seen a surge in Volatility and this has a direct correlation with the results we've achieved so far in 2007. The OEX trading was strong as usual with only 2 losses recorded. On November 28th we had one of the easiest trades of the year, netting over 40% !!

Have a good evening and see you tomorrow morning. Friday, November 02, 2007 Closing Bell As I stated a couple days ago, trading during this environment carries a greater degree of risk. We've seen the S&P Futures move from 1510 to 1525 and now down to 1500. All in about 90 minutes. I did send the OEX Key Levels for those of you who, well you know what I mean... :-) I am leaving early today and this represents the final message today. Also, we are not trading on Monday. Have a great weekend and see you Tuesday morning. Tuesday, November 06, 2007 Closing Bell OEX Options Results: No trade eMini Futures Results: S & P eMini Futures +$337.50 per contract, +6.75 points (1point = $50) As I've reported all day it has been extremely interesting to watch how the market is behaving during these uncertain times. The OEX bounced from 701 to 710 yet the highest the Advance/Decline line rose to was +900 issues. If you're a believer and follower of market internals like myself then you understand how insane that is. Yet, we understand that the market's uncertainty is what brings on these unusual events. Over the past 20 minutes the market has exhibited some form of panic buying. This will be interesting to see how the overseas markets trade following today's advance and whether or not we can get an additional day of upside. The remaining question is whether or not the financials will begin to rise and attract buying interest. If so, this will most certainly cause a buying panic. We'll see... Have a good evening and see you tomorrow morning. Wednesday, November 07, 2007 Closing Bell OEX Options Results: +$1,600 +17% eMini Futures Results: Russell eMini Futures +$60 S & P eMini Futures -$250.00 per contract, -5.00 points (1point = $50) Another one for the record books -- The OEX was down over 21 points !! How many times have you ever seen that?? We could very well see the market crash overnight. I discussed the capitulation back in August and noted that I didn't feel we really saw a great deal of fear in the market before that big reversal took place. But I had to accept that I was wrong since we saw the Dow Industrials rally 1,700 points. The way we're seeing the financials tank could very well lead to an exhaustive sell-off tomorrow. That's really anyone's guess but for the market to rally at this point it’s going to take some rather significant pieces of news or a crash. Now, with that said, it was a good day for us. The Russell eMini booked a nice profit early in the day but the S&P eMini didn't do as well. However, given its recent unbelievable success it’s not uncommon to see a small loss like today. Then, we topped it off with a very low risk Put trade that paid large dividends. Sure, we didn't catch the entire decline but we caught enough to call ourselves successful options traders and that's the name of the game. Have a good evening and see you tomorrow morning. Thursday, November 08, 2007 Closing Bell OEX Options Results: No trade eMini Futures Results: S & P eMini Futures +$625.00 per contract, +12.50 points (1point = $50) Was today's decline the actual bottom? It’s all guesswork beyond that. Sure, the market bounced nicely off the lows but that's not a real surprise given how exaggerated this sell-off became. There is a ton of technical damage in addition to the fundamental uncertainty. It is going to remain volatile for many months to come. We sat the day out (other than the mechanical S&P eMini trades that were once again fantastic) given the uncertainty and higher risk. Congrats to those who took the initiative to trade today with defined trading plans. As you know, I'm broadcasting to a group so I keep the risk low and remain sidelined mostly on crazy days like this. It will be interesting to see how we end the week and whether or not the bulls can recoup any more of these losses. Anything less than another 300 Dow points is going to be disappointing. Have a good evening and see you tomorrow morning. Friday, November 09, 2007 Closing Bell OEX Options Results: No trade eMini Futures Results: S & P eMini Futures +$275.00 per contract, +5.50 points (1point = $50) Another failed attempt to recover from weakness. As I said earlier, the only thing that is going to pull the market out of this rut is an actual market crash or some significant piece of news. We've yet to see any panic selling. The final 30 minutes was pretty violent but there was no reason to remain long headed into the weekend. Have a good weekend and see you Monday morning. Monday, November 12, 2007 Closing Bell OEX Options Results: +$400 +7% eMini Futures Results: Russell eMini Futures Model Portfolio -$300.00 S & P eMini Futures +$637.50 per contract, +12.75 points (1point = $50) Last week I commented that the market would continue to decline until it either crashed or we received a significant piece of news. The crash will be obvious if it does occur. The significant piece of news will also be obvious because we will see a period of panic buying to the tune of +300 Dow points. But until this occurs we will see the market fail over and over. We had a decent morning but the NAZ 100 failed to participate and it lead the broader market lower. One thing is for sure and that's Put buying. It seems no matter what strike you buy or when you buy it, it appreciates. Of course, that won't always be the case but until proven otherwise... Today was another successful one for day trading. The S&P eMini produced a gain of +12.75 points. http://www.oexstreet.com/blog/images/picture-744649-744774.png That already puts us over +30 points in November !! The party continues. The Russell eMini was less fortunate but it was pretty evident going into the trade that it would have a hard time given the program buying we were seeing in the market. But we came back with a nice OEX option trade http://www.oexstreet.com/blog/images/picture-794735-794852.png So, it really doesn't matter if the market goes up, down, or sideways -- there are opportunities if you know where to look. Have a good evening and see you tomorrow morning. Tuesday, November 13, 2007 Closing Bell OEX Options Results: No trade eMini Futures Results: S & P eMini Futures +$337.50 per contract, +6.75 points (1point = $50) If you've never witnessed panic buying before, well you just did !! WOW Give one to the bulls and one of magnitude at that. Can you say SHORT COVERING ?? I've been looking for a +300 point Dow day and that occurred today. The OEX was higher by 20 points near the close! As soon as the NAZ 100 broke above the 2,040 resistance, that I illustrated earlier, we were off to the races. The OEX Key Levels worked wonderfully today. The calculated intraday high was 687.25 and the actual turned out to be 691.10. Not bad! Here is an illustration of how well the levels worked and shows the hesitation of the market near these levels. http://www.oexstreet.com/blog/images/picture-779967-780082.png This morning I noted that there was a strong chance of the Dow rallying to 13,200 (when the Dow was 13,110). I never imagined we'd get to 13,319! http://www.oexstreet.com/blog/images/picture-715414-715520.png That was a nice surprise for the bulls. Congrats to those of you who took the tools and made a profitable trade out of it. We've not seen much consolidation following large breakout days in a few weeks. What I mean by this is while the market has fallen over the past 2 weeks we've not seen any buying interest. Typically when you see large one day moves you get one or two days of consolidation. That hasn't been the case lately. Therefore, we would normally expect tomorrow to be one of consolidation but given the recent pattern we have to believe that the market will actually rise again tomorrow. We'll see... Have a good evening and see you tomorrow morning. Wednesday, November 14, 2007 Closing Bell OEX Options Results: -$240 per contract eMini Futures Results: S & P eMini Futures +$1,075.00 per contract, +21.50 points (1point = $50) The bulls failed to get it done today despite the gap higher open. The most obvious lag today was from the NAZ 100. It traded lower from the opening bell. The gap this morning was way too extended and traders took the bounce as an opportunity to unload. If you measure the gap and the actual low it was 60 points so it was a lot worse than it looks on the surface. Very seldom can you be successful without the NAZ 100 moving in your favor. This is exactly why we lost with the OEX today, nothing mystical there. The S&P eMini system remains on fire. I'm not 100% sure but I believe today was our single best day ever with +21.50 points. Heck, +21.50 points is a good number for a month let alone a day! We're not half way through the month yet and we've already gained +60.75 ES points. Unbelievable considering the system only uses time and price, no indicators, and all of the signals are delivered within 5 minutes of the opening bell. Shows you how simplicity really works! Have a good evening and see you tomorrow morning. Thursday, November 15, 2007 Closing Bell OEX Options Results: 1 Win +$180 and 1 Loss -$130 eMini Futures Results: Russell eMini Futures +$60 S & P eMini Futures +$550.00 per contract, +11.00 points (1point = $50) There is nothing wrong with being 'wrong' as long as you're willing to admit it. Today I was wrong. Unfortunately, my 'prediction' that the OEX would see 675 before 685 (680.53 at the time) was correct but we were not positioned to participate. As you know, I am seldom completely wrong with an OEX trade. When I am its imperative we understand what happened. Today the market's volatility is what toyed with our results. This is the reason I opted not to participate in this late day sell-off. Despite all the clues pointing to weakness, we couldn't let ourselves fall prey to another false move. Luckily, our entry for Calls above 683 was made at reduced levels since the OEX popped through 683 and immediately dropped 1/2 point. And, thankfully, we had a nice Put trade earlier that benefited from the rising VIX which always fattens Put premiums. Interesting that the Dow closed just above the 13,100 support level. It’s anyone's guess how we end the week. Finally, we had a nice scalp trade on the Russell eMini this morning and the S&P eMini posted yet another superb day. That takes the ES to +71.75 points and we're only half way through the month. We're certainly amid unusual times given that the strategy has not had a single parameter change since July 2005 and we've had an unbelievable run these past few months. Volatility has treated us well in this department. Have a good evening and see you tomorrow morning. Friday, November 16, 2007 Closing Bell OEX Options Results: No trade eMini Futures Results: S & P eMini Futures -$525.00 per contract, -10.50 points (1point = $50) Ah the games (manipulation) that we constantly see. My 'guess' that we'd see 680 as the penned strike was correct. At the time of my 'guess' the OEX was at 675.33. http://www.oexstreet.com/blog/images/picture-782577-782687.png As I stated earlier, it seemed apparent that the 680 strike had more relevance than the 675. Talk about leverage! If someone bought Call options about 15 minutes into the close they had an explosive return as the OEX bounced about 5 points. Expiration related or not, I really liked the price action into the close, especially on the NAZ 100. But again, rallies will get sold until proven otherwise. I do think we're getting closer to a rally but that's also what I thought several weeks ago before the credit crisis re-immerged. So it’s really a guessing game and there are managers getting paid 10s of millions each year to figure it out and they keep dropping the ball. With next week being shortened by the Thanksgiving holiday it is a perfect recipe for a rally if the bulls are so inclined. Have a good weekend and see you Monday morning. Monday, November 19, 2007 Closing Bell OEX Options Results: No trade eMini Futures Results: Russell eMini Futures +$60 S & P eMini Futures +$162.50 per contract, +3.25 points (1point = $50) It would have been a nice trade on the break below 675 that I discussed this morning. Unfortunately when there are 4+ weeks until expiration you have to play the hand you're dealt. Crash or significant news…. Those are the two available options to spark a rally. Otherwise, any bounce is likely to be sold. Have a good evening and see you tomorrow morning. Excerpt from intraday: Did you know that sometimes your trading vehicle is your limiting factor? For example: I see an opportunity for a short (Put) entry below 675. However, when I look at the December Put options I don't really see any low risk opportunities. The 650 Put is 25 points out of the money, has a delta of only -0.28% and has a 90 cent spread with only 150 contracts traded. The 660s are about the same (more expensive). The 640s are just too far out of the money with only a -0.21% delta and no volume. So, despite an obvious play on the market there is no obvious trading vehicle. By the way, if you don't know, delta is just the 'fancy' way of saying for every 1 point move in the underlying (OEX) the option will move x points (delta), negative sign for Puts. Thursday's low? Stay tuned. Tuesday, November 20, 2007 Closing Bell OEX Options Results: +6% eMini Futures Results: S & P eMini Futures +$100.00 per contract, +2.00 points (1point = $50) If you enjoy volatility then you had a blast today! That 13,100 Dow resistance was right on the money. Certainly no one expected a 250 point pullback. But then again no one probably expected a bounce of 200 points in the final hour. I know a lot of you enjoy scalping the market intraday. There is nothing wrong with that as long as you have a plan. It is my belief that during volatile times as these its best to use tight stops and let your profits run. There really is no other objective way of trading this market. Normally we'd expect the market to be quiet tomorrow with a positive bias. Since these aren't normal times for the market anything is possible. I do expect light volume but that can be easily manipulated. We'll see... Have a good evening and see you tomorrow morning. Monday, November 26, 2007 Closing Bell OEX Options Results: No trade eMini Futures Results: S & P eMini Futures +$512.50 per contract, +10.25 points (1point = $50) Another failed rally! Not a surprise. The bear raid took place sooner than expected and they certainly brought the big guns. We could once again easily see the market crash overnight. It will be important to monitor the trading action overnight. Have a good evening and see you tomorrow morning. Tuesday, November 27, 2007 Closing Bell OEX Options Results: +$50 per contract +7% eMini Futures Results: S & P eMini Futures -$250.00 per contract, -5.00 points (1point = $50) The bear raid indeed surfaced this afternoon but the bulls came to fight. Can we really get excited about today's advance? Sure, it was a nice change of pace but we saw this same thing last week before falling to multi-month lows. The impressive aspect of today's market is the fact that this morning key area of focus, Dow 12,800 and NDX 2,000 , played such a significant role and the levels held all session. It has been a while since we've seen key technical levels actually remain meaningful intraday. Of course the next hurdle is Dow 13,000 and we must not forget that each and every bounce has been sold into for several weeks. One day doesn't make a trend nor break a trend. Have a good evening and see you tomorrow morning. Wednesday, November 28, 2007 Closing Bell OEX Options Results: +40% eMini Futures Results: S & P eMini Futures -$87.50 per contract, -1.75 points (1point = $50) What an exceptional day the market managed to put in! As I stated earlier, you couldn't ask for an easier day to make $$. As you may recall, I noted that within the first 30-minutes of trading the Advance/Decline line on the NYSE exceeded +2,000 issues. This is nearly unheard of. We were quick to pick up on this obvious lead and enter Call options on the OEX which lead to a gain in excess of 40%. Remember, successful options traders target base hits. If you play the game long enough you'll hit an occasional homerun like we did today. The market has seen an exceptionally large rebound from Monday's low. Specifically, the Dow Industrials have bounced 550 points in two days. It will be interesting to see if any bear raids develop near these areas of overhead supply. Have a good evening and see you tomorrow morning. Thursday, November 29, 2007 Closing Bell OEX Option Results: No trade eMini Futures Results: Russell ER2 +$240 S&P ES +$312.50 We have to conclude that the bulls came to play ball today. It was imperative not to lose any of yesterday's advances. I noted this morning that the pattern over the past few weeks included the selling of any and all rallies. These patterns remain in tact until broken. The bulls needed to break this pattern today to make this +550 Dow Industrials advance from Monday's low significant. I noted today's movement would be dictated by 13,300 on the Dow Industrials and 2,100 on the NASDAQ 100. The charts clearly illustrated the significance of these levels. Today was quite easy to pattern but the low risk opportunities just weren't there. For example, I noted when the OEX was at 686 that we should see a bounce to 688. Then, I expected this area of resistance to induce a pullback. Sure enough, once the OEX reached 688 we saw the OEX pull all the way back to the Pivot near 684. Later I noted another opportunity was developing but opted not to issue a formal signal because I felt the reward was not worth the risk for the entire group here. The message was for Call options on a break above 686 and the target was 688 (again). Sure enough, late in the day we saw the OEX once again climb north of 688. Some of you sent messages to me with reports of your success. Congrats to those of you who were proactive and took the trades. It has been several days since we had a signal on the Russell eMini but today was just as good as any with a gain of $240 per contract. Trading the S&P eMini continued its success with a gain of 6.25 points today, taking the month's total to +65.75 points. Have a good evening and see you tomorrow morning. Friday, November 30, 2007 Closing Bell OEX Option Results: No trade eMini Futures Results: Russell ER2 No trade S&P ES -$612.50 It was interesting how critical the 2,100 level on the NDX and 13,400 on the Dow Industrials were at dictating today's market movement. Earlier I mentioned that the tech sector is what drove the Dow and S&P from their earlier advance. It was a surprise to see this much profit taking following this morning's opening surge. http://www.oexstreet.com/blog/uploaded_images/picture-722515-722615.png However, we have to realize the size of the advance the market has made this week. The Dow Industrials alone advanced over 700 points from Monday's low. I don't believe we can draw any negative conclusions from today's profit taking. We are heading into the weekend and it never hurts to sell into strength. Despite the strong market internals, I opted to have us remain sidelined today. This was for good reason given the divergence in the NASDAQ 100. As you know, we need this area to be moving in tandem with our OEX position. Not that it's impossible to be successful otherwise; you want the tide to be in your direction. It was a wise decision to pay attention to these levels. Only if the NDX would have crossed 2,100 would we have considered Call options. After the fact we see how important maintaining a focused agenda is. Have a good weekend and see you Monday morning. We hope your trading as been great this year. Ours definitely has been one for the record books. OEX Street http://www.oexstreet.com
