Forex yea, stocks nah.

Yea good call mate.

Oh and the math... I tried doing it and it doesn't seem to work out properly... I keep getting I need more maintenance above the cost of the shares if the option were to be exercised... It doesn't make sense.

Their demo doesn't allow writing options. My question was more technical than theoretical. Like if i wrote an option would it be on my open position and if I wanted to close it would i have to "buy" it back which would reduce my premium. Or am i stuck with that contract until it expires and if...

Hi there, a few noob questions here. Say I write a call that has a $4 premium. Does $400 land in my account right away and does some sort of position show up on my account indicating that I may have to buy a stock at a certain price for someone else? Does this position show pnl? Also how can I...

Thanks for the input and clarifying. The trade is really a short term play on the volatility. So far break even on it because its holding strong even though the market has been going up! I expected the opposite. I guess the US government may be in more trouble than expected due to covid wave 2.

Thanks ill look into it and watch out for the news more. Nobert he is right if you aren't going to say a word about the thread title then don't bother with your opinion, you haven't helped at all, the thread is supposed to be about tbills, which you have said jack about. You want to bet your...

Hi, I use CMC markets to trade "US T-Bond-Cash" - I think this is basically US 10 year bond. Basically the yield hasn't changed since June 1 but there was a big sell off first week of june then there was a big bounce back. It hasn't been that volatile since early March. I'm a bit confused by the...

It could be your internet too. Try plugging in Ethernet instead of using wifi?

I think the drop yesterday is probably half of the entire short term sell off. There will probably be another rally on or around the 50 moving average on the daily.
