Yesterday was not the day. The S&P went nowhere, and I stuck to my plan of taking profits on the SPY calls at the open. I scaled out a little first, but the more I looked at the pattern, the more I thought it prudent to sell the whole bunch.
The rest of the day was spent trading the Canadian dollar from both sides. I bought USDCAD long and traded 6C, the Canadian dollar future, against the position. It was a very good day. I made a few shekels on the USDCAD position after it had gone against me a bit, and then took off half. Meanwhile, scalping the 6C raked in some major gains.
I'll be doing the same thing today, as the USDCAD is heading back into the buy zone towards .95600. Just as the USDJPY has turned, I view the Swiss and the Loonie to be doing the same. But I think I may have missed the low in the Swiss.
No matter. I'm here now for the Loonie.
As for the S&P, there still looks like some buoyancy under it, though the inability to make tracks to the upside yesterday is cause for concern. If it is unable to confirm the Dow anytime soon, watch out. It's 1344.07 (cash) or bust.
