It is my understanding that every option in a chain has its own unique implied volatility, so where does the singular form of implied volatility per underlying come from? I see it most often when I am charting implied volatility versus historical volatility, and things like that. I was thinking...

I need some good words to help narrow down my searching. what do you call...?: > the schedule of when the various expiration months, quarterlies, and leaps become available for trading? > the layout of the amount of points between available strikes, like some are 1 point, 2.5 points, 5...

Yeah yeah we get it. You think you’re some kind of security expert, and because of this, you think you should be instantly welcomed here and recognized as a highly skilled and valuable member of this community. I for one would be much more impressed if you came already equipped with the...

That's very good advice Mark, I had a support request pending with my broker in parallel with this question, time was getting tight... turns out my assumption was correct, with a vertical spread, I can just exercise the long call in the event the short call is assigned early, it will negate the...

Kartik… have you done any follow up on the symbols that typically get missed? Just a hunch, but they might be thinly traded, or penny stocks, or something you might not want to be involved with anyway. i’d say its pretty lousy if even the freebie sites miss announcements on major index...

try briefing.com too but any site you use, check to see if the list publishes all at the same time as a whole list, or if it updates continuously item per item... just fyi, its one of the major snags i ran into when having my own software scrape earnings calendars off of free websites.

it is a paradox for nothing to exist. It might help you understand the atheist point of view if you realized that theism is not theos

The open, high, low, and close are all equally important to me. It would be like chopping off one of my limbs to not use one of them. You could probably get a better answer if you stated why you are asking this question, like why are you looking to emphasize one over the others, what is your...

check the volume on both of the individual legs too.
