When I said 'quotepanel', I should of said, 'quote panel' on Option Trader. 1. You go in option trader 2. You put "SPY" in the 'underlying' column 3. You then pick which expiration months and strikes you want to see. 4. This info is not saved at the end of the day, even though...

Do any IB TWS traders know how to save the stocks options in the quote panel so I don't have to keep building each days stocks options chain over and over with all the strikes and expiration dates each day after booting up.

In your opinion, is it wiser to have the extra 12 months of time premium left in your 24 month long put option when the 12 month option expires, or the IV benefit you mentioned in a 12 month set up vs our original 24 month position.

This kind of advice is exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you for your thoughts. J

Thanks for your responce 1) It would be "better" to short-sell, shorter-dated, (2 to 3 months duration) put-options over and over that will indeed experience faster and greater time decay instead of LEAPS-puts. So buy the 24 month leap put and sell 3 month options each quarter. Am I...

On Jan 1, 2010 Your long a DEC 2012 put at 110 for $1700 and short two DEC 2012 puts at 90 for $950 each If you had no choice, and 'HAD' to be in the position above until expiration or prices going below 900 on the underlying, what comes to mind as to how you would sell short term premium...

I understand that lev ETF's are for day trading/swing trade. Is there at least ONE lev ETF that follows it's underlying well. Is every single one a bad idea for 1-3 month hold time?

I was going to ask if anyone knew the authority on reverse calendar spreads. Now that I've researched it, I'm lucky if someone here knows a trading book with even 'ONE' chapter devoted to this spread and it's adjustments. Not one trading book on amazon has a book with a chapter on this spread...

Thanks for letting me know. I can finally quit searching and get back to more important things like, what's the current Tiger Woods mistress count up to now. I mean these chicks are coming out of the woodwork. If his next sex partner that comes out is a dude, I'm shorting the dollar on Monday...

I'm currently using IB data for live Ninja Charts. Can I use IB data in the same way for Trade Navigator charts. I haven't received a response. Someone here knows. I appreciate the help. J

Market Wizard Tony Saliba describes a fly strategy, where he buys backmonth flys and shorts frontmonth flys to scalp. Does anyone know if the front month fly sold is placed ATM ITM or OTM. If someone is familar with the details, I would very much appreciate visual. Thanks for the help

Is the market closed? UNG's movin?????? I thought the close today was at 1pm?

What other big name trading authors post on ET? I know for a fact that options trading author Mark Wolfinger does. He's actually gone to tremendous lengths to help me in the past. I can't find a post I once saw where this was answered.

That makes sense. Thanks for getting back to me.

In Kelly Angles book, '100 Million Dollars in Profit', where his uncle or dad pyramided gold up to a huge profit. Does anyone remember if gains were protected on the way up via options.? Or even at all for that matter. I just can't remember.

Would someone please recommend a website, that has a stock/etf ranker that lists the highest up markets and lowest down markets for the day, and maybe even the past 5 days. I'm currently using Yahoo. I appreciate your time. J

I'm currently studying the VXO, VXN, and VIX. For each of these markets, the lowest value in the past twenty years has never really ventured very far, if at all, below 8 or thereabouts. When any of these index's are around 10 to 15, is this the same situation as when Cotton is at twenty year...

Would someone please refer me, to a site that ranks the highest and lowest implied and historic volatility, of the top 50 to 100 most popular ETF's (Most popular in terms of average daily volume) I would appreciate the direction. J

For those who have or do trade OneChicago SSF's, how's the execution for the majority of the top ETF's and Stocks based on average daily volume. This would be for daily and monthly profit strategie. The bid/ask difference is not a huge deal. I like round numbers, so if hypothetically Alcoa, Gold...
