October tells me exactly where November will trade
Hey there, it's Blake. Most traders look at charts and hope. I look at distributions and calculate. As November opens, I already know the S&P should trade between 6982 and 6540 for the entire month.

Ghost Prints Trade on the House - Flagged Major Put Activity in BAC
Something unusual happened in Bank of America last week. The Ghost Prints Surveillance Console detected concentrated institutional put buying. Heavy blocks. Aggressive pricing.

Last week, as part of my Halloween tradition, I watched the 1983 film adaptation of Something Wicked This Way Comes and re-read the novel. I've been a Ray Bradbury fan since sixth grade, consuming as many of his books as I could find and listening to audio recordings of Ray Bradbury Presents. This particular book…
