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...

I was able to grab some May 1210/1220 puts today for .60, I just had to rub it in a little Coach. :D ryan

Donna was filled at 10am on a put, now look at the daily chart for the S&P so far. Donna may be our newest indicator! ryan

Your cat has really caught on to using Wizetrade I see. When are we going to see your cat in an infomercial? :D ryan

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

I will watch the video tonight, this link answers some of the questions we have: http://www.cboe.com/micro/vix/VIXoptionsFAQ.aspx 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

This one is real. 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

Good thing I did this on paper! ryan

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...

Last week my wife got coupons for 2 different wines, Dancing Bull and Black Swan. I think the investment gods are toying with me :p ryan

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

Wish I could say the same. I couldn't get filled on the dip this morning. What strikes did you get filled at? ryan
