just connect with Ninja trader.. i've done it.. works great.

Agreed..less Mcdonalds..

gearing up in OTM sounds like he is ratio backspreading... ATM has the highers dollar amount of Time premium.. so i would expect Atticus to say yes.. ATM puts .. ATM calls.. unless your talking leaps

I gotta learn the greeks on futures

haha good one

High jacking .... I'm just talking. Ignore me if you like.... I didn't think my post was much of a tangent

realizing how random things are and how fuzzy things get as you go out into the future does not give you an opt out for being responsible for the things that will happen... my thoughts are.. is it possible to make money in all senarios? meaning a breakout up.. a non event or a 20 percent...
