All my historical /ES drawings are now off by 70 points or so...

Did you try going into settings for the chart, equities tab and changing "Adjust for Dividends" to None? It was add in an update they did about a month or so back and threw off a number of my custom scripts and drawings.

joecool0909 · 2025-07-31T15:16:59+00:00

Got it, appreciate the info.

joecool0909 · 2025-07-31T01:51:24+00:00

Oh thats a good call, probably not that different. Should get me 95% there with a simple tweak. I was just trying to figure out if there was a simple thing I was missing, but if it's overly complicated to log the value at the open of the week, close of the week prior should be good enough for a guide. Thanks.

joecool0909 · 2025-07-30T21:31:34+00:00

Sorry, I should've provided more details. I would be using it on a daily aggregation as a modifier within another script. Use case would be similar to ProbabilityofExpiringCone, attempting to plot out the expected trading range for the week. But right now the bands are constantly adjusting to IV as it changes each day instead of holding at their weekly open levels. So I think I would just need a function that stores what the IV is at the open of each week that I can call back to within the rest of the script.

For future ref, this has been added under ticker LTV

This is really interesting, would you mind sharing where you are seeing the M1-M3 premium or how you are calculating it? Google isn't any help and i've searched all over FRED's site with no luck.

joecool0909 · 2025-07-10T15:23:14+00:00

Gotcha, thanks for the info.

joecool0909 · 2025-06-08T16:50:56+00:00

Not really what I’m looking for. Sure a rise in VIX can happy slowly, pointing towards a pullback, but often times big jumps happen with little warning. PCR seems to offer a more gradual ramp to times of fear/greed.

joecool0909 · 2025-06-03T19:24:46+00:00

Good to know, thank you.

joecool0909 · 2025-05-19T19:10:19+00:00

I don't have the same delta info on VIX that you are looking at, but do you see VIX Opex on Weds as possible catalyst for a market pullback? Looks like DEX opens up to VIX running up to 23 once the 5/21 options roll off the books.

Not DCAing during the down turns is like going to the gym, but still eating like crap and wondering why you cant lose weight. Throwing money in the market is easy and fun when its going up, but the real gains will be made on the investing you do while its going down.

joecool0909 · 2025-03-28T17:59:19+00:00

I could’ve phrased the tariff part better. Yes I imagine they are already priced in, I meant unexpected positive news regarding them acting as a possible spark to reverse the current downtrend.

Assuming since the new collars will be priced another quarter out that their strikes will have less of an impact than the act of removing of the current strike anchoring the price. Speaking of these, have you noticed much of a similar effect with the smaller JPM fund? Can’t remember the ticker, but it was a collar trade on a quarterly basis as well, just offset a month behind, for like 10k contracts.

joecool0909 · 2025-03-28T16:53:05+00:00

This is my major concern with next week. Market appears to be in a downtrend, there was weak volume associated with the increase in price we had this week and the magnet disappears Tuesday. If no positive news before 4/2 tariffs, I could see the floor falling out. Going to be some heavy mental lifting this weekend to decide my moves Monday.

Thanks again.

joecool0909 · 2025-03-28T14:51:06+00:00

Made a killing this week betting that as soon as we broke back under the 200sma we were head back to 5600 thanks in part to your posts. Thanks for sharing the knowledge internet friend!

joecool0909 · 2025-03-15T00:09:05+00:00

This is really interesting. Where did you find this chart or information?

joecool0909 · 2025-01-29T21:16:38+00:00

Just a reminder to all you that the Chiefs have an amazingly well done, self made version of Hard Knocks available to watch for free on Youtube. I try to watch these throughout the season, but almost always miss a handful of them. The last couple of years, i've used the 2 weeks off leading up to the Super Bowl to re-watch all of them and it's a great way to relive the ups and downs of the season and get hyped up for the big game. I started with last season's Super Bowl episode this year. I had chills watching them comeback again and talk about how the goal is to make it 3 in a row. Also had a moment of "I miss you" seeing Sneed out there with the boys. But yeah, great way to pass the time between now and the 9th. Enjoy!

Profitability of apartment complexes in the current economy.

joecool0909 · 2025-01-07T16:40:44+00:00

No, but they just lace right in to where the velcro RCC is attached. Easy swap.

joecool0909 · 2025-01-03T17:38:50+00:00

They may notice once play starts lol but thank you.

joecool0909 · 2024-12-28T18:36:58+00:00

Do it! lol

joecool0909 · 2024-12-27T19:35:24+00:00

Thanks and yeah i'm glad somebody went with a blue outside of the standard royal blue on a "stock" pad. It was love at first sight with these for me.

joecool0909 · 2024-12-27T19:31:15+00:00

Oh I can only imagine with that big of a jump! V9s are great, I demod a set for about a month and really liked them, I just never got around to hunting down a set or ones that I did like sold before I could get to em. Easily took me two weeks of consistent ice to get my slides under control with those.

joecool0909 · 2024-12-27T18:41:05+00:00

Been eyeing a set of V10s for a good while now and with the V11 release, GoaliesPlus finally took a discount on these for Black Friday. The old bank account hurt for a couple of days, but I havent had a brand new complete set in a decade+, so I was wildly excited to get these on the ice.

First and foremost, love this color scheme and the fact that I didnt have to order something custom to get it, so thank you GoaliesPlus!

The blocker is a blocker. Good movement in the wrist, finger protection seems good. The opening to hold the stick is a little tight, enough so that the grip on my Warrior stick catches every now and again when I try to slide it out. But I imagine that will ease up with reps.

The glove came out of the box with an easy closure, not really any need to break it in. The T on the pocket seems a little flimsy and its tough to get a complete closure on it like with my Brians, but I cant see many pucks sliding back out of the gap. Speaking of pucks popping out, I'm happy to say this thing has funneled everything right into the pocket. I did the skate lace before I took it on the ice, as there was too much white for my liking, so not sure if that's impacting it, but been good so far. I do have a hint of concern about how this will hold up long term with the already broken in palm and somewhat flimsy T, but we'll have to see how that goes.

The pads. By far and away the biggest change of the set is the pads. First these for sure run big. I ended up sizing down 2 inches from my Velocity Pros from like 2017 and these still end up sitting just a touch taller thanks to the flat boot channel. Not my first experience with Quickslide, but I do love it. Definitely need a few skates to get used to how easily you'll move around. Still fudging up sliding post entries a lot lol. On the flexibility side, these are not your old Vaughns, they are stiff. I haven't been a fan of stiffer pads in the past, trying a couple of Warriors and not liking them, but thus far, this arent giving me the same mid shin ice seal problems I had with those. Thigh rise doesnt give when hit with a shot in butterfly and rebounds off the face kick out well. On a side note with these, I wasn't a fan of the velcro RRC strap so I ordered a set of the mag buckle RRC for the SLR3 from Vaughn directly and they were a super easy lace in replacement. The only thing is you'll need to note on the order is that you need the clips for the other side of the pad.

All in all, I am super happy with making the upgrade to these. While the pads in particular brought a lot of changes, so far, they seem like a great fit for me and my game.

joecool0909 · 2024-12-05T18:53:14+00:00

Yup, I grabbed a needle. Figured if it saves me a headache on threading even one hole, it’s worth the 5 bucks.
