Sounds good Phil, One more question please, then - I'll try to sit back, watch and learn. IV is pretty high in the S&P (relative to it's 6 month range) right now. Do you prefer these OOM credit spreads in a high implied volatility environment? Do you use the same parameters in a low IV...

Thanks Phil, I have ALWAYS wanted to explore S&P OOM credit spreads from someone who knew what they are doing. Would using delta suffice as a simple probability model?

Hi Phil, How do you select your opening strikes?

Great Phil. I am VERY interested in following this thread, win or lose. I think there can be a huge statisitical advantage and I am thrilled to be able to watch first hand. Please keep it coming. Thanks man and gtty, Lar

Lorena Bobbit cut John Wayne Bobbit's crank off and threw it out the car window. Everybody knows this. Here is what most people don't know - there was another vehicle following her car rather closely that night. So closely that John's severed "Thang" flew smack dab into the windshield of the...

You might be an Okie Redneck Jedi if..... You ever used the phrase, "May the force be with y'all." Your Jedi robe is camouflage. You have ever used your light saber to open a bottle of Pearl. At least one wing of your X-Wings is primer colored. You can easily describe...

We could name the critter now... How about the 0008 spread, named after it's creator. :cool: Of course, trading it would be a whole 'nother can of worms I wouldn't want to open up. Peace and gtty, Lar

Maybe if the underlying were stock one could imagine calling this some kind of spread. A "reverse diagonalized synthetic long " - with an explaination (G!) sorta captures the essence. ================== If the underlying is/are a futures contract(s), I would not treat that position as a...

You'll find a systemic writing system much like you described in the book "LEAPS" by Harrison Roth. McGraw-Hill Page 77 - 79, including Figure 13.1 Peace and gtty, Lar

So this young girl comes home from school and very excitedly goes up to her mom and says, "Mommy, I learned where babies come from!" Her mom says, "Where, honey?" The girl responds, "Well, the mommy and daddy take off all their clothes and lie down on the bed. The mommy puts daddy's...

A man wanted to get married. He was having trouble choosing among three likely candidates. He gives each woman a present of $5,000 and observes to see what they do with the money. The first does a total make over. She goes to a fancy beauty salon gets her hair done, new make up and buys...

Thank you all for your suggestions... seems this may be easier than I initially thought. Peace and gtty, Lar

You have stated a "moving away from" goal of getting out from what you are currently doing. Sometimes it is easier to know what you don't want than knowing what you DO want. I believe this is where the expression "jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire" came from. My suggestion is...

Hey iceman1, Yeah, it was a great call. What are your thoughts about next week? lol Peace and gtty, Lar

From the calibre of the hardware posts found in this forum, I figure this would be child play for you techies. I am very unsophisticated when it comes to computers but I simply want to be able to access the internet from a laptop without being tied to a landlink. It would be great to trade...

--------------------------- Man said, sorry. i did not use the quote function. why are the options relevant for you. so far we just talked about trading delta here ... ---------------------------- For what it's worth, I should qualify myself as very small potatoes compared with many of...

Hi Man, I assume you are asking me how many markets I trade. If not, well... sorry. lol I generally trade options on the Dow, the SP, the Dollar Index, the 30 Year Bond, Gold, KC coffee periodically and Orange Juice. Usually I only have one or two markets on at a time though. With the...
