A certain well-known broker had their usual Wednesday chat, talking about the high volty and the opportunities. He then advised that this was a good time for a strangle straddle swap, a double diag. He went on about how the volty would be sucked out of the options soon. The only prob is...

Did Kerry and Hillary also lie, since it was so obvious and simple. If you have some problems with your energy level, may I suggest that you see a doctor.

I also find the OIH as a nice balance to the RUT. NDX is abit steep for me at the present. Just curious, do you use multiple strategies on low vs high volty? Or do you pretty much stick with one strategy. The voly change over the past week has been rather interesting.

So, John Kerry is a fake liberal. Interesting. Tell us your definition of "lying". If someone says something that they believe is the truth, but they are wrong, that is a lie. Is that correct?

Are you talking about the war authorized by Congress.... the war which was approved by Hillary Clinton and John Kerry.... The war continued to be funded by Congress ..... Is that the illegal war you are talking about?

Plan A: Take $5000 and put into a brokerage account. Learn how to do options trading, using one or two contracts in SPY or IWM. For the first couple of months, forget about profit and learn the mechanics and create a trading plan. Once you can make a profit with a $5k account, you might...

Only if your broker has "smart routing", such as IB. A spread order goes to a single exchange and, as I understand, NBBO does not apply since it is a blended order. Do you honestly think an IC or fly is covered by NBBO????

Sorry, I am talking about option spreads.

My big concern is whether order flow compensation affects routing of orders. I received the following response, because I noticed that my orders are often routed to ISE. ++++++++++++++++++ Not all with regards to the ISE (they actually charge the most for cancels and they are not a...

In another thread, order flow compensation was mentioned, so I sent an email to TOS asking about that. I received the following reply: +++++++++++++++++++++ TOS does receive payment for certain types of order flow. By industry standards our payment numbers as a percent of revenue are...

This forum has an "ignore" function, and I used it for the first time today. It works very well.

BTW, thanks for telling me how to become a pro. I just have to drop $10K in an instant and not give it any thought, is that correct? I now know my goal for the year ==>> To become a real pro like youself.

Another insightful post from RealProTrader. The next time I put on a trade, I'll remember that options trading is risky. Thanx.

>So, with that, would any of you now like to comment on why the BS model is flawed, Just curious. Anyone who knows the real answer to that question, why would they give you that information here. Are you really that naive? Do you understand what you are asking.

I do option spreads. Option trading is not day trading. Who cares how fast you get filled. Depending on the market, I place my initial order at 1.20 and let the market come to me. It is not uncommon that I get filled immediately. With a 10 cent spread, I would not go more than a...

You're looking in the wrong place. Keep it simple. PS. One percent per month is chump change if you know what you are doing.

May I suggest that you visit cboe.com and take advantage of their free/low cost training, and spend alot of time on Dan Sheridan's webinars. Start small, $5-10k, one or two contracts for at least six months to learn the mechanics of trading and forget about profit/loss during this time...

You delay paying taxes until you remove the money. May I suggest that you consider a ROTH. If you plan on losing money, an IRA is great, but if you plan on being profitable, ROTH is the way to go.

Long thread, but here are my ideas: Over the past 10 years or so I have blown out three times, and I am now have a profitable system. Here are some suggestions: 1. Start small, 5K or less. 2. One or two contracts for at least six months. 3. In the beginning, forget about profits...
