    Triple witching day and hour...

    It's now the Sunday after that Friday, and nobody has answered your questions. For me, past trades show I have more success on Friday's, monthly's, and 3x Witching. I look forward to them. I want to also point out that I'm not a pro and still an amateur to beginner. I find there's no hard...

    When does Open Interest update at the end of the day?

    I've frequently seen a few hours after, it's not updated, but I've seen once at 11pm est, it updated. What time does the Open Interest update on the option chain? Searches on Google and in this forum came up with nothing. Thanks!

    Question to options traders

    This is why I only trade options on SPY. Regardless, I definitely have to check out these flex options! Thank you always for your suggestions and tips.

    Question to options traders

    I hear you. It's not for everyone. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I've refined my craft to where it's not too "noisy" at all. Each week my win % gets better and better. I prefer to improve my win % over time, before venturing out and trying other strategies. I look forward to learning...

    Question to options traders

    Like somebody else here, I'm also a noob, but doing average (not consistently losing), only buying options on SPY. I usually buy only one side, and only buy both sides (Straddle) if I'm unsure of direction but expect either direction to be >3x my investment. I only trade options <3 days from...

    The Good, Bad, and Ugly of a Low Vol Environment

    At least for me, I found this guy on YouTube to explain Delta Gamma Hedging best. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Bionic+turtle+gamma+hedge Great job in using a spreadsheet, explaining as he fills it in, and explains the whole way. Lots and lots of examples. Millions of serious...

    Same day SPY options after 1 pm.

    I've opened SPY trades after 1pm on expiration day countless times on TastyWorks, and they're probably the cheapest for options outside of Free(RobinHood). I used to trade options with RobinHood and became extremely frustrated with them and their limited platform. The free commission wasn't...

    Small Account

    Holy shit did this thread get hijacked, "my dick is bigger than yours", "your bs", "no your bs", and go down the toilet... Nice to see that we've ... kind of gotten back on topic.. I used to take expensive courses like that for some other topic. Didn't work out. One think that I learned with...

    Day Trading Options is a bad idea. Anyone else?

    I'm embarressed to ask, what are Flex Options, and how do I find them to trade them? It's not obvious on IB or TastyTrade. When I select SPY, there's only one type of "Option" to trade. I don't see an option for "Flex Options". I did a google search on it, but it's still not clear. Feels...

    Day Trading Options is a bad idea. Anyone else?

    I've been day trading options for almost a year. Lost money almost daily most of that time until the last 3-4 months. Now it's gotten closer to break even for me. Some days, I'll open and close 4-7 positions and will be up on 80% of them and up for the day. It's the very few that kill me...

    Option Price Charts

    CBOE used to have the flexibility to look back weeks to months of option price data. Around November or December last year, they changed their software to only show today's chart. http://www.cboe.com/delayedquote/quote-table Strangely, I tried to find option chart data through LiveVol, but...

    Inconsistencies between candlestick charts & long extended candles

    Wow, my mind has exploded... Thank everybody for your information. Especially wrbtrader for so much detail and information. Frequently, on other forums where I'm an expert on the topic, I'll avoid answering because I worry about overwhelming people with information and sometimes... Man, I...

    Inconsistencies between candlestick charts & long extended candles

    Two questions. Forgive me if these are painfully obvious to all the trading gods here. I'm asking these because I don't know and I have nobody else to ask. 1. Why are the charts different between Yahoo, CNBC, and MarketWatch? I was looking at SPY tonight on Yahoo, CNBC, and MarketWatch...

    Is This The End Of Tesla ?

    When I worked for AMAT through the dot com explosion, crash, and after, we went through many cycles like that. They and many other tech companies that go through big boom and drought cycles are still around. People have been saying Tesla is dead for years. Yeeeears... I think many are the...

    Is paper trading a waste of time or does it yield benefits?

    I've also read that it doesn't help many people because people don't treat it too seriously. I did when I did. I actually used paper, a notebook. I paper traded so much and took so many notes I had to buy a 2nd notebook. I found writing much better than doing it digitally. I'd write notes...
