    I tried to close out my April 1235/1245 put spread for .05 today. Got a partial fill and now will have to wait until tomorrow to finish out the rest. I think I have read other people complain that they got hit with 2 commissions when this happened to them (this is an OX account), is that the...

    The premium on the 1345/1355 is pretty good, really dries up after that though. ryan

    Market has opened up today, could be a good time to add some call spreads with 30 days to expiration. I'm looking at no lower than 1350, preferably higher if the market trends up some more today. I know Andy and Donna have gone lower than this but I'm more comfortable at the 1350+ level...

    Once I read #5 on cboe I thought the same thing, you have to keep the time frame as short as possible so that it has a better chance of mirroring the spot VIX. ryan

    For example OX is showing a quote of .25x.75 for SPX April 1235/1245 put spread. TOS software is showing .25 as the mid with a quote of -.25x.75 ryan

    I've noticed some discrepencies as well. I usually see them when the bid is less than zero but I think I have seen them at other times as well. Probably a quirk in their software. ryan

    1235/1245 bull put spread for .50. Sorry, I should have put that in my previous post. I'm looking for the market to still trade in a range through April expiration. With this Fed meeting out of the way we will have to see what drives the market from here. ryan

    I got filled and the market kept dropping too. My mid popped a bit but not too far from where I got filled. The mid is now back down to .05 above my fill. Funny how these OTM spreads work sometimes. ryan just trying to keep the wax on my wings

    I think it would be: 10x1.7= 17x100= $1700 debit 7x2.5= 17.5x100= $1750 credit net credit of .50 Enter the number of contracts you are looking for at a credit of .50. ryan

    If you are using the spread tab you can enter different quantities of contracts for each of the contracts you are buying/selling. I'm not sure I am following your question. ryan

    I had to look up the pic for Vanessa, they definately have some rather appealing similarities... Anybody brave enough to put on a bull put spread semi-close to the market and play the pop tomorrow? I like sleeping at night so I'm going to pass, but it would be an interesting play. I think I...

    I've already got a 1345/1355 position, I was trying to get in a 1230/1240 position today but couldn't get it done. Will have to look at things this weekend and see how much higher I might be willing to go on the short strike. ryan
