ABOUT "THE ADMIRAL"

The featured speaker, whom we affectionately call "The Admiral," was a Designated Primary Market Maker (DPM) on the floor of the CBOE for five years. Although we're not using his real name (so don't ask!) suffice it to say that we consider him to be one of the most knowledgeable option traders on the planet. As a floor trader in the '80s and '90s he did the opening options rotation for 5-25 stocks the old-fashioned open outcry way—meaning he opened each option strike price for each of these stocks within the first 30 minutes of trading, both calls and puts.

That meant he had to price more than 500 option strikes, plus as a market maker he traded and kept the markets current. As a DPM, technology brought forth auto-quoting of option series, but pricing of those quotes remained his responsibility. Trading 1 million shares of stocks and 50,000 options contracts was a normal day for him. In 27 years at CBOE, he has traded through the crash of '87, the smaller crash of '90 and the tech bubble in 2000. He has traded three-digit volatility and seen every possible market environment imaginable. So, if you're going to learn options, it might as well be from the very best.

Market Timing Charts Review

Tweet Market Timing Charts Review

We are on track to get to 1113 on SPX (200 bar MA and +2 sigma confluence). NYSE MO at +244 is too high,

we are slightly overbought, a small pullback is in order.

Notice DJ Trans strong up thrust [and channel breakout] was followed by RUT channel breakout.

This is all good for the bulls.

Notice the direction of our CI Indicators on VXO and VXN.  Our target for VXO is 17 (neg 3 sigma).

Our coveted SP1_MoMo Indicator shows SPX Advancing vs Declining Issues are thrusting upward.  MoMo is nearly magic 10 number.  We should expect a pull back first before resuming upward further.

Percent of SPX Components over their respective 200-Day MAs is now over 55% now and it is over its 50bar. This is all good for the long side.  Like to see this number over 70%-75%.

SPX 2010 is way behind its 2007 Analog but indicators are relatively strongervs their analogs.

Notice the low put/call readings.  This is good for the bulls.
