Not a .gif, but you can see it anyway.

Chartgurl, are you selling into any of these overextended breakouts. Take a look at SNDK, probably good for a quick trade. By the way, short skirt trade are on Linda Rascke(sp) site, i think primarily for futures. Margo, do you need photoshop to make gif posts. I have been selling longs into...

yo, maverick, i like the ratio spread idea, starting to see a little light here, mucho gracias. thanx to all.

so maverick help me out here by backspread assume X trades at 100, i sell the 120 calls, buy the 150 calls, same month? or different months, i assume vice versa for downtrends. thanks

metooxx i think you type too much:) since no one wanted to actually answer this question i looked in the option books, could not find salibas but found jon najarian, these examples are from his book: broad market movement: iron butterfly or condor spx trading at $900, sell $930 calls...

trajan and metooxx, obviously you guys know options, i do not think dreamer has a clue. Seriously, salibas books on options are complicated, easy to write puts/calls or a calendar spread, but condors or butterflies are another story, and they never make sense until you try them.. So with SPX...

Anybody trading currencies.? Do you buy the breakouts and sell the lows, or fade the highs and buy the bottom. I have yet to turn a profit with these, although the leverage is good as well as the market hours!

Not sure about the book thing, but i originally found his columns on thestreet.com, now on realmoney.com. He has a trading service that i used for a couple months too. Although he is primarily an end of day trader, using scans in tc2000 will ocassionally give daytrades as well. Think that...

Gary Smith, no books but his commentary from internet services has turned my trading positive, simple trendline break system, but effective.

It is true that you need to allow three days for a trade to settle in order to collect dividend. It is not very clear though that if you sell short the exdividend day if you would have to pay the dividend even though the trade had not settled. Special one time dividend stocks will fall the...
