I would bet bone is going to have a nice retirement than shortie! lol

The crash will continue.. Market's will give trend following hopefuls a big gap up or a few up days and then gap it down hard again and continue crushing the market. You won't see much activity for today and tomorrow.. Then huge gap up on Monday, trade sideways for a few days maybe, and then...

how does it look to be topping

THEY WERE NOT LEGGED IN Here is a screenshot of trade times.. http://img257.imageshack.us/f/tradetimes.png/ Is this good enough for you? Because I didn't begin this theory at the instant I started this thread totally invalidates it? lol Here I have a receipt I don't know if I can get...

Yes.. Sorry I means Dec puts not calls. Thats the point, strangles / straddles are not supposed to make money on both sides. But I unbalanced it, gave it positive delta and positive vega, thus as it goes up it makes money on long side and when it crashes it makes money on the volatility side...

Here is the picture of the position itself http://img35.imageshack.us/f/spy3o.png/

Shanghai... China has too much political and economic power compared to other choices

1) The quote I posted was the same day that I entered the spread. You guys who were doing risk profiles did it a few days after I did... Thus calls were already onside pretty big. 2) It is just the APR Calls and the DEC Puts (the 200cts) that I'm looking at.. Those other 2 options were part...

I thought a spread was a way of hedging different types of risk using a combination of options. But you know what I mean it's a matter of semantics. I don't know what I expect.. But I'm looking at it like this: I am expecting market to continue rallying so I have positioned some positive...

Problem: Can you buy a spread such that: - No Shorted Options - Net debit of $1000 - Positive delta to follow trend of an up-market - Positive vega such that profit from increased volatility will trump the losses from positive delta when market 'pops' - Beat theta in the process...

Expected to... Not yet. It just kind of pisses me off how iPods and expensive computers without right click will become the most valuable company in the world. Reminds me of how Twilight New Moon grossed more on it's opening weekend than any of Jame's Cameron's films ever did. Of...

What do you mean most valuable company in the world?

I realize it was answered after I posted that.. lol I've been involved with options for a while, just not this in depth (the 2nd order greeks, etc). So I really don't know what -skew means, and sticky delta, hence I've been on google researching these terms. Can you link me to a good site...

lol... but seriously anybody know?

I'm looking to go long on Volatility, but would like to know if anyone knows of a calc of how to optimize a position so my vega is optimus prime when I'm expecting a move of x magnitude? This is via long options only though, cannot short.

I'm just wondering if it is more popular to trade ag futures or use them for seasonal and fundy plays on a longer term basis. My focus is on the type of stuff larry williams does, which, as simple as it is, seems to work amazingly well. I just feel like I have dumbed it down so much that I...

If your money is on the line, no question is dumb.

Anyone think it will be an angel of death pattern?? like MSFT like EBAY like POT (well at least until the BIDU shenanigans) etc etc ones that people think is end all be all and then it crashes when someone realizes its not. let's be honest, Netflix isn't the same breed of genius like...

I would have to agree with S2007

Hey Corey are you getting rebates for adding liquidity?? At that sheer volume that would make a huge difference.
