Nice play.
I would love to see you post first when you buy, then later when you sell, rather than after the fun is over.
1. It will improve your credibility (not that this is needed, but it would certainly help).
2. It will help others better understand your systems and thought process when entering a trade.
Is this just based on the RSI(2) and LR(100) channels intraday?

Got it. But upon what indicator(s) are you basing a trade? What yu outlined above is how to place an order, not how to decide why and when to place it.
Honestly trying to get a better understanding of his system. Thanks.

Here's another option that was a "steal" yesterday.
FAZ puts:
9/16/09 - Buy Sept $19 FAZ puts = 0.05 each ($5 per contract)
9/17/09 - Sell Sept $19 FAZ puts = 0.35 each ($35 per contract)
Had you bought 10 contracts for $50, you could've sold 'em for $350 (0.35) this morning.
Or, sold yesterday at the close for $275. (0.275)
:>)

Oh!
Sorry Kevin.
I'm using LRC 50% and 100%.
I'm assuming M4M is using the same.
BAC hit the bottom of the100% channel yesterday.
And hit the TOP of the 100% this a.m. ...
:>)
(oops, sorry. had to edit this. had wrong chart on my screen)

I don't know how he determines his "dead top".
My indicators show the market "topped on 9-11-09.

Got it. Thanks. Can't day trade at work, and can't trade options within my 401k account. Nonetheless, I try to learn more about how to trade every day.
This site is a great resource with great people.

Karen,
Thanks for the indicators.
What time frame are you using with the LR channels? (Daily or intraday)
And how long is you time period?
Thanks,
Trek

Trek:
On the realtimestockquote page , as per M4M's instructions, here's the monthly.
Click Time Frame "monthly"
Click Frequency "daily".
Click "draw chart"
http://one.realtimestockquote.com/neochart/neochart.dll?co=realtime&mode=-1&idx_sym=&sb=fas&cn=us&chw=800&chh=400&inh=140&ty=2&ind=-1&inm=-1&sca=1&ref_rate=180&mov1=0&mov2=0&mov3=0&boll=0&chk_lin=on&lin=22&chk_vol=on&chk_rsi=on&rsi=2&sto1=15&sto2=5&sto3=5&wil=12&macd1=12&macd2=25&macd3=9&roc1=16&roc2=8&mfi=14
Someone can make this ** clickable **.
On Think or Swim, you can simply click any time frame you want.
For my purposes, I use 1 and 2 day frames for daytrading.
IF I weren't waiting for a bigger correction, the "dip" on the 1-day FAS chart was tradeable @ $85.50 @ 1:27 PM..
FAS rebounded to $88.20 within 2 hrs. Typically, THAT is how I make $$ ... just a $2 move yields $1 on the option.
So, one contract = $100, two contracts = $200, five contracts = $500, etc. ...
Edit:
Oh!
On T&S - 1 day = 1 minute, 2 day = 2 minute
I MEANT FAS, NOT FAZ.
