Hold on to your horses vanzandt. As I stated in post #8. :)

IMO ..... The premiums are cheap for the AAPL July 29, 2016 102.00 calls. 2% OTM for only $1.15 going into earnings and 7 days to expiry. EDIT ...... The July 29 100.00 ATM straddle is $4.14. The MM's expect AAPL to be about $104.00 or $96.00 when the market closes on July 29. Click for more...

AAPL Trade Opened AAPL at $99.87 52-week high $127.09 Earnings Tuesday July 26, after the bell. Bought 1 102.00 July 29 call at $1.15. Expecting a pre-earnings rally. I will reevaluate the trade on July 26 if it's profitable. And most likely hold through earnings. If the trade is not...

Earnings Next Week - The Four Horsemen AAPL Tuesday July 26, after the bell. FB Wednesday July 27, after the bell. AMZN Thursday Jul 28, after the bell. GOOGL Thursday Jul 28, after the bell. How about some weekly OTM calls? Earnings is always exciting times for option traders. Anybody...

Why not? The original Yahoo Finance page was very good for option and stock quotes, the new site sucks. Check Yahoo Finance for stocks, option chains and quotes. Decide on trade. Log-in to broker account for final quotes and open trade. Track the trade with Yahoo Finance. Log-in to broker...

Post #3 did a good job of explaining the usefulness of older threads. :)

I would buy the DIA calls only, no sense in adding an anchor to your trade. If DIA goes up most likely BA will also. :)

IMO ......... Selling highly volatile instruments such as options isn't a good idea. Buying is much better. :)

3% OTM with only 1 month to go ......... Of course the credit will be peanuts. Buy 1-strike OTM calls in this market. :)

The cost of the the ATM straddle predicts very accurately were the underlying will trade when the options expire. But there will be two quotes, a high quote and low quote. You then can base a real trade around that info. You could even enter a long or short ATM straddle if you think the...

Yahoo Finance has been switching back and forth from the original page to the new one for at least a year now while they tweak the new design. The original Yahoo Finance page was my number one source for option data. The new Yahoo Finance page is useless. I now use Google Finance for option...

Here is a link to the companies listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. I think you can trade them through IB. http://www.tmxmoney.com/TMX/HttpController?GetPage=ListedCompanyDirectory&Market=V&Language=en :)

It's not a trade. I'm using the cost of the ATM straddles to get a trading range of the underlying during the life of the options AND the expected close on expiry, then base a real trade on that info. Perhaps sell an Iron Condor outside of the trading range, buy a Debit Spread, buy some ATM...

My thread originated from a post by J_Smith about predicting a stocks close on expiry based on option open interest and option volume. IMO ........ the ATM straddles are a much better indication of were a stock is most likely to close at when the options expire. Broken trades? Those...

Judging the results on 2 examples over a 1-week time frame is unproductive. Most option traders have a longer market outlook than 1 week. Do you believe that a long ATM weekly GOOGL straddle can be bought for about $11.10 and exited at about $18.00 on a weekly basis? From your post you seem to...

Question sent to me: ATM, ITM OTM are terms to describe the current status of the options. The various option strikes will move in and out of ATM, ITM, OTM as the underlying moves. Today the ATM SPY Straddle is 216.00, last week it was 213.00. :)

Search and trade stocks listed on the TSX Venture Exchange out of Toronto, Canada - you might like it. The TSX Venture Exchange used to be the notorious/infamous Vancouver Stock Exchange. The wild west of stock exchanges for start-ups in the natural resource industry. :)

I would give her Wood. :)

No break needed..........Approach the stop slowly in low gear and ride the clutch and gas enough to prevent you from rolling back. Then gradually release the clutch and give it gas to go. :)

Yes .....That is another way to describe Long and Short ATM Straddles. :)
