No to "Intra Day Trading Options". End of discussion. :)

One way I was looking at benefiting from the QQQ 4:15pm cut-off time for options was during earnings - especially AAPL, since they were so heavily waited on the QQQ. Most post-market earnings move appear to happen within minutes after 4:00, and that move carries on to the next day on stocks like...

Large quantities of cash is attributed to dirty money that needs to be "cleaned". Cash in - bank transfer out through a reputable company. One common method the gangsters in Vancouver, Canada used to launder cash is to take bags full of cash to the casino for chips - play a couple of games and...

I'm curious why you only have "made thousands of dollars" in your paper-trading account using this method? Once you noticed that you could get fills at the previous days closing price you should be going all-in and be up hundreds of thousands of dollars - maybe even millions. When paper-trading...

Where is the error and how did it affect you? I use Yahoo Finance quotes on stocks and options to decide on option trades. I can sort of guess on the actual option price based on the Yahoo Finance 20-minute delayed option quotes and the Yahoo Finance 1-day live chart for the underlying - the...

Rules are made to be broken :)

I don't know if the Raspberry PI 2 is powerful enough for a stand alone trading platform. It should be OK for all browser based trading platforms - such as IB's browser based trading platform. A laptop would be better suited for trading using a stand alone trading platform. :)

The Raspberry PI 2 has: 1 HDMI port for monitor ( You will need HMDI > VGA adapter for older monitors). 4 USB ports for keyboard, mouse and two other USB devices. USB micro 5V connection for power. You can trade using your brokers browsers trading platform. I just received a Raspberry PI 2...

You discussed the cost basis of TNA in the OP. 900 TNA shares at $76.00 So what is the problem? Profit was $80,000 until the TNA trade - unrealized loss of $18,900 at the time of your OP. Profit now $60,000 or so. What is your macro view? :)

Post an example of what you think fits the OP's requirements, I don't think you will be able to unless it involves selling OTM options. With the exception of long butterflies. :)

Any trade that involves selling OTM options for some sort of credit, with the exception of long butterflies. Butterflies are opened for a debit (+1 ITM, -2 ATM, +1 OTM) but benefit if volatility falls. :)

As it stands now: Bought 100 GOOGL at $724.00. Sell Jun 730.00 call at $9.00 (Credit $900.00). Cost basis per share $715.00. Current GOOGL price $738.00. Your selling price due to the ITM calls $730.00. Unrealized P/L +$1,500 (maximum profit). If you didn't sell the CC your unrealized P/L...

PHP ..... Below is a PHP code I used years ago. I don't know if it still works and if it does it will require a lot of additional coding to get it up and running. $ticker $open = fopen("http://quote.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=$ticker&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv", "r"); If you google the above code...

Yahoo stock prices are updated in real-time. Options have a 20 minute delay. Yahoo Finance - AAPL :)

The term exercise is used to describe the right of selling or buying the underlying at the option strike price. 99% of option traders have no intention of trading the underlying or exercising the options. I think you mean to close the trade to avoid additional losses or to lock in the gains. In...

Try Google Sheets and Google Finance. I wish Google would add options. :)

Perhaps "Edge" is some sort of "Force". :)

Edge = Financial Success Arnold Achwarzenegger has edge. Tiger Woods has edge. Bono has edge. Bill Gates has edge. Pablo Escobar had edge. Elon Musk has edge. Howard Hughes had edge. Vladimir Putin has edge. Donald Trump has edge. And so on.................. :)
