Thanks I was thinking more like asymmetrical condors and butterflies Are you talking about the expiration line or the current p/l graph ? Cab you also see in your mind what the p/l of your trade is at the end of the day after the vix goes from 9 to 35 ?

Just curious what is your idea of a simple complex spread ? Isn't that an oxymoron ? If you can see in your head what is the volatility effect on your trade and do the Black Scholes calculation in your head for each strike than I guess you don't need the graph

So I got a reply from them and they confirmed that the Ally Invest Live interface is actually their web platform I took a closer look and I found the risk graph that I thought was part of Tradeking but it's available to Ally option traders as well so it's all good Of course it's not as good as...

I signed up with Ally recently I actually transferred my account from Tradestation which I upend just a couple of months before but it was so bad that I had no choice but to get out of there I thought I would get to use the Tradking platform which seems to be decent looking but now I find out...

Do you have a stop loss or profit limit in place ?

Oops sorry, My mistake I read that wrong as I was looking at the chart I thought he placed the trade on the 21st I didn't realize that that was the expiration date That's pretty brave to place a trade 2 days before expiration That's usually when I close my trades You would have to be glued to...

Maybe you meant dec 19 ? I don't think there was any trading on dec 21 which was a Saturday If that was a gamble on a sure thing why not go all in ? You could have bought the in the money option and made a lot more money

TOS also has it Just right click on the option and than drop it into a chart You can also do 2 charts at a time that way you can watch a spread for a better entry or exit price

Speaking of pin risk I just watched today's video in swim lessons on the TOS platform and toward the end of the video they talked a guy who thought he was out but he was still assigned on TWTR and than the next day TWTR gaped down The bottom line is to buy back the short if it's near...

LOL Wow I new something was wrong with this guy but I didn't think it was that bad I guess it takes a scammer to know when he got scammed

TWTR Stable for a month ? Are you kidding me ? In what range ? 38 to 74 ? sure it can stay stable in that range for a month The question is where did you place your bet ? up or down ? From your posts it looks like you are all over the place and have a lot of money to gamble on risky trades...

I am interested in learning about butterfly trades and adjustments in general and I came across Locke's Bearish butterfly strategy but I wasn't going to spend money on it until I find out more details about it I was wondering myself if that trading strategy would work Maybe if that was done...

Yes you are right I didn't catch that the first time I believe she said she started with iron condors back when she had 100k than moved on to naked puts when she got more money and that indeed is eating up a lot of margin but when she has millions she can afford it Surprisingly the margins...

It's hard to tell exactly what she is doing because she did not exactly say it The devil is in the details She says she is selling out of the money puts ok and what else ? she did not say She may have done strangles but I don't think she did that in the spx because that eats up a lot of...
