The 2 strategies, Selling Puts and Buying Calls, don't they have the same objective as the trader is bullish about the market and hope the stock price will increase?

So the intended money making opportunity comes from the premium received if the stock stays flat? To make money when the stock drops, the strike price and in this case the SELL price must be higher then the market stock price upon expiry? Great if someone can give examples.

For the short call strategy, does it assume that the trader does not own the stock when the trade is entered? What is the trading objective for this strategy?

What is the profit objective for this strategy? To set up this trade, you end up with a debit balance, sounds very strange to me.

What is the difference between a weekly and monthly option? I don't seem to see any difference, which i know i am wrong.

I'm new to options trading. Let's say i buy a CALL option and upon expiry its in the money, what happens after that? Will my options be automatically exercised or will my options position be automatically closed? I am using Thinkorswim, if that helps.

At times of extreme volatility, how often is it for a stock price to zoom up or down thereby missing your intended price point? Is the likelihood of this happening more if one trades in higher volumes (e.g. 5,000 shares instead of 50 shares)?

If i were to enter a iron condor trade using TOS, i understand that once my order is filled, I will receive credit $$ in my account. Does that mean that the % amount and $ amount i see under Profits and Losses (under the Monitor tab) is irrelevant?

One other thing, for TOS, since this is an iron condor trade, can i assume that the profit and loss figures under the Profits and Losses under the monitor tab means nothing?

Spindr0, i think this is what you were referring to.

Sorry for being such a dunce, but where do I go to find the confirmation ticket in TOS?
