i've actually been trading the qqq's for a while. my personal view, is we are starting a downtrend( the qqq's had been bouncing around 24-25.15 for awhile and finally broke support). however, with the possible capture of bin laden and the fact we are getting close to the Oct. lows and quite...

with this market ive been looking for some relatively cheap strangles...anyway, i was wondering how did people generally bid, one leg at a time, or place one bid for the whole trade. i use optionsxpress and they give me both options. just wanted to get some input...thanks Husky

ya i hear ya, it's just frustrating because i'm sick of sitting on the sidelines. the only thing i love is the movement and i think we can count on that for awhile, since this middle east thing is not gonna go away for awhile....we will see how things look in the morning...thanks for the input

hey chas, it seems like you have some experience with index options. i have been doing research up the ying yang on the QQQ's. I'm still overly bearish, especially since it looks we are on a downtrend per the indicatators ive been using. however, we are near so many alltime lows, couple...

had a few friends that did really well during the tech boom, but haven't made a dollar since...trading is based on arbitrary techniques....wouldn't suggest it

how long do you wait before the qqq's break support(24) and resistance(25)? it really should be interesting over the next couple of days because the cubes have really been bouncing between 24 and 25.25 for quite a while. i can only assume the longer it stalls the harder the momentum is set up...

why not just buy ATM calls and buy OTM puts. you could use the same strategy as the market moves, but would be putting up much less money upfront. the only disadvantage would be time decay. but if youre trading ELX you will probably be in and out of trades in 2-5 days, so it shouldn't be too...

ive actually been trading the qqq options, always hedging with an OTM call/put depending which view i have. i usually hold for 2-4 days... any longer and time decay becomes too much of a factor. i found as long as your decently hedged you can make a steady income. the crazy 20-25% swings in a...

what indicators do you guys generally use...ive been only using macd and sma lately and have been doing pretty well.

what do you see the nasdaq doing tomorrow

very frustrating:mad:

Has anyone heard of this trading alert system? Basically, it's a couple of guys that do analysis on QQQ's with various chart indicators and send out flash alerts when to buy various options and when to get out them. It's a service that you pay an annual fee for. I also heard the name...

thanks logikos....do you trade for yourself or for a futures boutique? what types of strategies do you use and how does the liquidity compare to other products...any help is appreciated, thanks!

thinking about making the switch from energy, which i feel has become to untradeable, will at least for now. anyway, looking for some good literature and/or brokers to use. looking to trade time, and basis spreads and simple option strategies. focus to start will be on grains(wheat, corn...

not that great...try to find a place where you aren't risking your own money...if you can't, lynx capital will ask for 5K but much better rates and fees

i think they energy sector is an interesting one. all the issues in the middle east, venezuela, and even the states and europe, it is paramount that we become self sufficient with not just refined products, but non-refinery as well. if and when some of our options for energy are closed off or...

nysetapereader did this dude just post a classified ad for his firm then disappear without answering any questions...real shady

i read somewhere on this board, that they are only hiring senior traders....calling them is probably your best bet

man, is sounds like everyone hates trading....maybe i should join the circus.
