While the Diary of a Mad Hedge Fund Trader focuses on investment over a one week to six-month time frame, Mad Day Trader, provided by Jim Parker, will exploit money-making opportunities over a brief ten minute to three day window. It is ideally suited for day traders, but can also be used by long-term investors to improve market timing for entry and exit points.

Today's Working Orders

I've Canceled the ZIOP sell order and the Spu buy order.
With Ziop I want to see where it can go.

With the Spu's, I still want to buy at that level on a sell off.

SELL 30 EFA 3/06/15 66 Calls...when EFA prints 66.

?.......................................................................................

Stocks...

OXY...as long as this remains above 79.35 close, look for higher prices.

CVX...110.00 is resistance and the closing upside pivot.

MRO...Marathon is a low volatility name. As long as this remains above 28.40 close the pattern is positive. Closing above 30 puts this on the path to 32 and then 200 DMA near 34.50.

AAPL...weekly sell stops are @ 126.92.

Spu's & Nasd 100...both need price action under yesterday's lows for downside.
?

Bonds ...

30 Yr. Bonds..(H) ...The daily shows this could extend as high as 147.26 and still reject,however sustained price action and a close over this level

should not be faded.

FX...

Commodities...

Gold...is seeing a descent bounce with Bond strength 1227-30 is today's resistance
?

General Comments or Valuable Insight

Yesterday we witnessed stock rotation with the paring of AAPL positions and the buying of GOOGL and other names that have not had big runs.

The trade is not in the Indices. It will continue to be in individual names.

Earnings tickers after the close today that are worth watching for direction are:

AEGR,MDRX,ACAD,KND,SPLK

Natgas infrastructure has been on fire. Here to you must be careful when a name like CBI has 15% + moves from support to resistance in 2 hours.

It's a Bot driven world.
