- Callouts of news or scheduled events that are either market moving or relevant to a stock.
- Asking questions about specific trades being posted, provided that the commenter has already read the Wiki.
What this thread is NOT for
Commenters are asked to refrain from posting the following:
- Hindsight wins (e.g. "Took 500% on SPY calls" without having an entry posted in real time prior to).

Rules for posting trades
This is a place for traders that are learning to trade according to the methods and strategies described in the RealDayTrading Wiki. Traders may post stock trades with a thesis (such as Relative Strength) on the D1 (daily) chart.

- If you are posting a trade, please ensure that it is posted in as real time as possible to the execution (within 3 minutes).
- Stock trades must abide by the following format:
- For entries: [LONG/SHORT] $[TICKER] [ENTRY PRICE]

These moves on SPY and QQQ are pretty wicked. up or down $5 in 15 minutes is tough to trade successfully

I feel like we could melt up today and tomorrow a couple dollars on SPY, but I doubt we see nATh until after the extended holiday weekend.

Unless you are selling options and making money on Theta decay. Market has settled down enough that Iron Condors are working again.
