You can't ship those monitors - WAY TO EXPENSIVE Best way to sell them is: Ebay with local pickup. Craigslist with local pickup. Good thing about Ebay is that they will be gone in 7 days - no hassle with negotiating a price, start the bidding at 1 pound. :)

I was thinking he is referring to options on any product Worldwide. So I narrowed it down to the simplest and probably the most popular option market, US Equity and US ETF's :)

Are you sure? The margin required for Debit Spreads, Credit Spreads, Butterflies is based on the short options only? Sounds like BS to me. :)

You are too focused on the options. No mention of the underlying in your post. How do you think the underlying will perform during the time-frame of your option trade? :)

US equity and ETF options (calls and puts) are the easiest to figure out and probably the most popular. Such as: US equity: AAPL, GOOGL, AMZN , FB, MSFT, etc. ETF: QQQ, SPY, DIA, GLD, etc. My guess is that 99% of option traders have no intention of trading the underlying. So the trade is...

I was going to post a similar idea, until I checked the Jan 20, 2017 SPY option chain - TOO EXPENSIVE. So I posted the "self hedging/insurance" post instead. You can sell at anytime. :)

I placed a limit order to sell-to-close at $2.00 earlier on in the day and it got hit, email confirmation: 2016-04-28 15:13:35 ET SOLD 1 PUT AAPL 2016APR29 97.00:US at $2.00 USD No position in FB. :)

Another option is "self hedging/insurance" - in other words no hedging. Pay the premiums to yourself. :)

The only way to hedge in a linear way as you posted is to sell $100,000 of XYZ. :)

RE: Call Out Your Potential Option Trade and Let's Discuss it. Option Strategy Buying 1-strike OTM weekly calls or puts the day after earnings in direction of a strong move. Example: Puts on AAPL today. Calls on FB tomorrow. Trade Entered Email confirmation of the trade I entered today...

40% is nothing when it comes to options. One day down 40% next day up 40%. Options = Volatility Volatility = Wild Price Swings :)

Regulations change - get over it. :)

The only restriction is no opening trades, until you send the required info. Lesson learned: Always have at least two trading accounts with two different brokers. :)

RE: How do you trade long term options? The same as short term options - figure out where the underlying will be trading during your time frame and base your option trade on that. Do not micro-manage - keep in mind your original reason for placing the trade in the 1st place. Yes :)

Below is todays quotes for LUV and the May20 47.50 calls. :)

IMO ....... It makes no sense to close that leg because it's so far OTM and most likely to expire worthless - that's the whole idea behind the legs of a IC, you want them to expire worthless. Just sell a Credit Spread and leave the original Iron Condor alone. :)

I missed the fade part in your post. So I interpreted your post as when you noticed a Vol (as in volume) Spike you followed the money and copied their trade. :)

vol spikes as in volume, not volatility? :)

What does roll mean? Could you give an example? :)

You decided how the underlying will trade. Place the IC strikes outside of that range. Wait to expiry. Nothing more to do. Do not micro-manage the trade. Options are volatile - the line between a loss and profit is very narrow. :)
