Good advice .......... And that would also apply to all the "option selling for income" crowd. :)

They should have bought TWTR :)

Exiting at the short strike sounds good in theory ..... but in reality it's too impractical. Once again could you give more details on your SPY credit spreads? How far OTM? The spread between the strikes? How long before expiry? Credit received? :)

Nothing good about picking up SPY pennies in front of the steam roller. Can you give more info on your SPY spreads? How far OTM? The spread between the strikes? How long before expiry? Credit received? :)

Publicity stunt/gimmick. Has any of the previous highest bidders learned anything from these lunches? :)

Probably all inactive accounts. :)

Atticus is gone - for good this time. :( I figure he got tired of all the BS. :p Some members are trying to fill his boots. :rolleyes: :)

IMO ........ The hours are too impractical to trade US Market in the Philippines. 9:30PM to 4:00AM local time. :)

Low volume on the markets today. When buyers step in DOW, DIA and the QQQ's are going to go nuts to the upside. Sooner than later. Lots of Fear recently and that means Rising Markets. :)

You only pay the buy/sell USD/CAD exchange rate - round trip it is negligible. US trading hours are very good if you trade from Canada - especially the PST timezone. On a side note - the Philippines are in a terrible timezone for trading the US market. :)

My educated guess is that the market is nervous due to being at an all time high. When the market is nervous volatility goes up. Fear is also rising. :)

Keep in mind ..... the $650 gets you an Uber approved car. :)

I can't tell from the wording of your post if you think $650.00 is too high or low. IMO .......... $650.00 is a good price. :)

You should know from your previous thread that Yahoo and Google option quotes may not be accurate, especially for low volume options - check your brokers quotes for final analysis. Quotes from BMO Investorline :)

Depends on his view of the underlying. Sell straddles if you think the underlying will under-preform the premium collected. Buy straddles if you think the underlying will over-preform the debit paid. :)

What he hoped for would determine the type of option trade. No view in the underlying, no trade - it's as simple as that. :)

"IV crush" is a moot point for traders that buy straddles/strangles before earnings, 100% of buyers are anticipating a big enough move on the underlying to offset the debit paid for the options. - the OP even indicated that he was "hoping to ride the earning price movement". :)

You took my response out of context - it was in reply to Max Dup's inquiry about TD Canada Trust. I'm with BMO Investorline and TD Canada Trust - the PDT rule doesn't apply with either broker in Canada. Perhaps the PDT rule applies with other brokers in Canada. :)

Yes :)

SureTrader might have more products and lower trading fees than TD Canada Trust. :)
