DAX...6853.23...-3.73...-0.1%.
How the market will be trading is still a bit unclear to me. I am opting to go and use my TuTo, trading setup.
11:35:43 AM ET Made a TuTo short trade on GoldmanSachs 210 Put (hard stop at -$100 or $3.8) Will try to have the target at +$200 or trailing stop to be set, if the position will move upward. Depending how the markets will be when I finish.
2:05:59 PM ET Made an OCO order (hard stop at $3.8 for 2 contracts - max. risk $100 - and limit - read +$100 target - at $4.8 sell 1 contract). Still I will have a risk on the second contract but only 2 hrs to close I will bear it now.
... and call it a day!
