I was assigned a long position on SPY 3 weeks ago, following the S&P debt downgrade after not buying back a weeky PUT that closed ITM. Had major losses that following Monday. Furthermore, I was playing an awful calendar call spread on the VIX and my front month was losing money insanly while...

Yes, it's just 200 shares short plus as I mentioned I have a 177 oct call. I have 2 of those as well so delta is only around -70

Just 2 units and assigned on both

So I guess I got assigned. Found a negative value of the ETF in my account

Sounds good. If calls are not exercised I hope it goes up cause I'll be slightly delta positive. Thanks all for your comments, have a successful week

I bought it just half hour before close on Friday. wanted to make a few bucks and hadge my positive delta before the close. With 3 minutes left to trade I was going to close the position but wanted to close a long call first but TDA doesn't allow to leave a naked option in the account. (With the...

My buying power won't be enough. Do I contact my broker about this. BTW, I have a GLD 177 Oct Call so delta's will be moderate at least

In all their emails, TDA forgot to mention the most important thing - that naked selling aren't aloud anymore. I wanted to unfold a spread step by step but couldn't submit my orders so in the end got stuck with this. so Monday I need to hope for a gold pullback... Not cool

wrote a 180 GLD Aug Call and didnt buy back GLD closed at 179.95 but in after hours trading its priced 180.21 will I be assigned? Thanks

I hope they are planning on keeping the name TOS at least. I can't be sure by their email

Agree with newguy. John if you expect the market not to recover in the coming week maybe look into a decent spread on the SPY itself. For me at least, Though I hate to play against time the VIX is all about trying to score big $$$. Holding 47.5 aug call and 35 sep call, wrote a 45 sep call.

True. And I realized they don't publish amount of followers of each existing system featured on their site; So gave up on the idea for now

Don't support spreads + Couldn't enter SPY order further then October 2011 options.

20% YTD

Yes, Sure If there is a way to publish my live trades with TOS and get paid from subscribers thats cool.

e.g currensee's Trade Leaders for forex traders, Collective 2 (could be cool but not for option trading)

very cool, thanks one day i will have to try out IB

on TOS I can see a chart for an option spread but there is nothing much to read in it on a daily view. I asked support and you can only watch last price on their charts. Thanks

Thanks everyone. mine is Dan Sheridan. You'll can check him out in CBOE TV on the CBOE website and look up "options safari" on YouTube
