    Magic Forrmula Question

    First off, I guess you need to fill us in on what Greenblatt's magic formula is before anyone can give a rational answer and just how much capital do you have? Some brokers give free trades for a while when you open an account.

    I noticed that too but it isn't the first time he has done that. Guess we will see what he does next after he wakes up in Austrialia or thereabouts. Also noticed his request for donations to animals asia which has an office in Austrailia. I don't see that charity as being on the top of an...

    SPX/ES Market Outlook

    It just seems to me that equities appear a little more bullish than bearish with the start of the new year. Not sure there is much volume there but must be big money driving it for now. Eur/usd is down to 1.2788 and s&p is at 1281.00 so for two days now we aren't coupled to the euro or the...

    I now suspect he may not an American. Perhaps an aussie wolf in sheeps clothing trying to manipulate and disrupt the colonies. A lot of his trades involve the AUD. Can't give any credence to a non/un-american's view of our economy.

    Kudos to MMs

    bowwow has the same problem with his model and both of these guys have probably obliterated their dad's accounts. Neither seem to have their own money to trade probably cause they lost it all. Maybe nine-ender has the ticket here with his reverse numbers. I'd prefer to see those. Just like...

    Question on Lightspeed as broker dealer

    google is your friend and your post comes up second on page 1. They are a member of finra/sipc. I don't believe a brokerage would have fidc coverage. Check out this review. Not for newbies apparently. http://www.brokerage-review.com/stock-broker-reviews/lightspeedtrading-review.aspx

    SPX/ES Market Outlook

    I'm kinda guessing here but I'm just doing otm bull put credit spreads on the weekly spx right now and the Jan bidu. I'm basically sideways with a short term bullish trend for the spx. I would have to see it hit about 1300 by Friday to see any type of breakout going up. I also noticed that...

    predict the range of the instrument

    me too and I have the option strategy with it, it works well. However no one can help you build an option strategy until you let us know your method unless you are here as a troll. I'm always looking for a better way to predict the range of an instrument that is better than doubling my money...

    Weekly vs. monthly options series

    Yep, I did a couple times. Strikes one and two. I don't plan on striking out with him pitching. Had a couple trades on Thursday to either get out of with some loss or hope for a pullback/selloff on Friday. His advice led me to go for the pullback instead of cutting my losses. I started...

    Options education question

    I'm a new guy doing this for less than three months now. First, never trade your entire portfolio. Only trade what you are willing to lose, ie. 5, 10, or 25% max. Use the options portion of your portfolio to get your year end return on investment a few points above what you could get with...

    Weekly vs. monthly options series

    As a directional vertical credit spread trader, I like the weeklies. Particularly for my small accounts, a $2800 soon to be $5300 (after a deposit before year end) ira for my daughter and my formerly $5600 ira that is now $3600 after following Grandsupercycle's advice last Friday. A 2...

    settlement procedure in iron condors.

    Maybe I should make my reply more complete. Remember that options will settle over the weekend. The actual trades of stock, etc. in your account to complete the trades will occur on Monday morning after the market opens. If you haven't closed your position on Friday, you can really be hurt if...

    settlement procedure in iron condors.

    Yes. Your max loss can increase above the 200 depending upon what underlying positions are liquidated by the broker. For example, if your portfolio includes Apple and it is sitting on a gain right now of 10 bux and it also includes Priceline which just happened to incur a 15 dollar drop that...
