FRO seem like gambling! over-under getting paid or not. might as well go to vegas and bet on red or black. Maybe someone can enlighten me on how this actually work because what I read so far they are not that great.

cramer almost gave me the kiss of death earlier today. someone called in and ask about GTXi and he had no idea what type of company it is. So he passed. Hopefully he keep his mouth shut till after I unwind my position.:D

what turn out to be a quiet day in GTXI turn into a less quiet day. Anyways the stock took a dive near the close for a -.88 cent. That concerned me a little until I saw the enemic volume today at only 176K and the responsible volume for the drop 12K-15K totalled. The average for the past 3 month...

holding steady not much happening except the market is down today. My holding didn't change. This is probably going to be the case for the next few days. GTXI cant decide which way it wants to go which is good for me. my position is build for neutral-bullish moves.

nothing to add here except a little nice move at the close let me earn some extra premium for my position today.

Well the last contract filled earlier to close out my order. Now I am sitting +15 Jun 17.5 which protect my short 10 May 17.5 calls and the +5 will earn good premium if the stock goes up as we get closer to May exp. Only 3 more days left for my short straddle and the stock price is in a very...

Now if you can get ThinkorSwim to offer them then I'll be grateful. I like to use SSF as part of my hedging strats.

Well my first round of golf for the year and I am sore, got too much sun and had allergy but I won 5 bucks. I only manage to lose 2 balls which is exceptional if anyone knows about the Fullerton golf course, every hole border a creek or two. Today I wanted to add 5 contracts to my June 17.5...

remember yahoo was only trading at around 19 at the buyout announcement. yahoo will go down.

and here is my beatiful risk graph.

ah! the morphology of a trade, this should be the title of my new journal, or not. by buying that June calls earlier, I now have a calendar spread at 17.5 strike. So all in all I have a short strangle, a short straddle and a calendar spread at 17.5(sharing 1 leg with my short straddle)...

bought 10 jun 17.5 calls @3.00 this morning as planned. nothing else just more research.

no trades, same position. checked on my 401k, looks like its going to be flat again woohoo!! it was down 12% earlier this year. I was almost ready to put it all in bonds until I remember what a crazy market we're in. This is the first time in along time where I'm happy my return for my 401K is...

So like the tittle said other then IB who else offer all in one account with reasonable coms, dont say OXP, they got high coms for 10 contract trader. I am thinking of TOS coms. I wish TOS had SSF.

i was going to say use longer time frame to smooth out you entry and exit but MT beat me too it..:mad:

Nothing going on today except watch the dow do a head fake. Also its nice to look at time decay too. Nothing else to do but followed what I posted above.

I still want datek back...:D

I like them so far. they had a popup that tell you exactly what the problem is and who might be affected. their platform for option is second to none IMO. I used IB, Scott,and datek.

working good for me all day.

I think you're using lagging indicators for your signals. this is not a good way to go when there is a lot of volatility. better when the underlying is trending.
