botpro? IMO .......... Iron Condors (and most option trades) need no "adjustments". They are structured in away to provide all the risk control you need when you open the trade. :)

Obviously the bid/ask spread will not allow such an arbitrage opportunity. :)

How you think the underlying will trade in the future will determine "Fair Value" and the option trade you enter. :)

FSLR earnings Wednesday April 27, after the bell. You never mentioned the earnings. That's very important info so close to the trade entry. Earnings will make or break the trade. :)

And how does Volatility fit in? :)

The problem with charts is that they are Very Subjective. Show a chart to 10 people and you will get 12 different opinions. :)

RE: "(30-40% a year) or lose quite a lot if you mess up" If that's the case then I would stick with only equity and ETF options. They also provided "(30-40% a year) or lose quite a lot if you mess up" but they are a lot simpler to figure out. Those VIX products are confusing as hell. :)

It's irrelevant and nothing to worry about --------- the P/L is unrealized at this point. :)

Minus 5% and 7% during earnings is just another typical day on the market. The DOW squeaked out positive today. I believe the trend is still up. :)

Bad News: The outcome wasn't what I expected. Good News: This is a buying opportunity for GOOGL, MSFT, QQQ. :)

TIME DECAY :)

It's no big deal anyways - the extra order only takes seconds. Extremely rare type of trade - From long/short to short/long the same option simultaneously. Why would you do that? :)

Yes ............. ........... Get the quotes of the options and build your trade around your views of the underlying as stated in your OP. The trade could be: Long straddle/strangle Short straddle/strangle Iron Condor Debit Spreads Exact option strikes and trade depends on the option...

LedZeppelin.com "The night of the concert, I get on stage to make the announcement to open the show. “Ladies and gentleman, please welcome, direct from England for their North America debut, Led Zeppelin!” There was a smattering of polite applause. Then, Robert Plant let it rip and everybody...

This is what I hate about the comment feature on websites. If it's very active it's impossible to read them on the computer - to much clicking "show more". They should have a download to PDF button at the top of every comment section, which will download all comments. It's easier to read a...

MSFT isn't just Windows. They have other irons in the fire. :)
