I get out of my 1330/1340 for 0.05 early this morning

Hey, I just came back from my 10K (Boulder Trail running) and what I found is really stunning. I have been nursing a 590/595 OEX for the last 3 days now. Yesterday I was supposed to close it but didn't. I laso have a 595/600 calls in another account that I am watching too. So this...

I use mostly Stochastic for my entry point. Moving averages 50, 200 as resistance support and hide my strikes behind them. But I choose my strikes with a software that I write. It's based on past movement of the indices. Taking : Low, High, lowest highest point of the last 20-30 trading days...

To tell you the truth, you and I are on the same page. This morning I entered RUT 780/790 @ $1 filled I have an order for RUT 660/650 @ $1 Waiting for pullback to be filled. I also have 1340/1350 order @0.90 to be filled. I thought I could get filled this morning but didn't. Hopefuly...

I believe the overall sentiment is for the market to go down in the near future. It won't be able to whistand the Interest Rate pressure and geopolitical situation. MHO

This what I experience this month. I may still make money but I could be doing better. I anticipated this down trend before it really occured and I hedged before even opening the Put Spreads. I opened a SPY 1230 and it's going to expire worthless. I was waiting for the downturn and it never...

I am not looking for Historical price. I need the cost of the Spreads Example: SPX 1335/1325 Put Spreads during the day. Thanks

Coach, Is there any place I can go to review a spread price at a specific time. This morning I placed 3 put spreads orders; The S&P lost 7 points and I was due for a fill and never got filled. I called OX 10 minutes go and they told me that the system was down at SEBEL Ex and they were...

Volatility has been wild for the last 4 days or so. Up and down and down and up

Answer: Two different accounts. Holdings: OEX 590/595 @1.05 OEX 595/600 @ 0.80 SPX 1330/1340 @0.65

First time I was so coscious. I am only 1/4 invested this month. I didn't see any trend. I was expecting a downturn so I could get the PUT spreads and I am still waiting. 2 weeks to go; there is still time for me to get some return. Stcoks spreads used to gime me very good returns but this...

Why is this board so quiet? Lately you guys haven't communicated at all. It seems that everybody is waiting for big down day to speak out. Coach, Haven't you started identifying strikes for April?

What repair strategy (gies) do you use? When do you decide it's time to repair?

Coach, I was looking at entering some April Call Spread now but I tought it would be too early. Do you enter 2 weeks to expiration or 3? Piccon

What you just said make complete sense. I am buying Put right now because I feel the market will not sustain its move. I will profit from down day with the PUT or convert it to PUT spreads. I make money every month beside Spreads by buying Put or call based on market direction. The fly...

I would like to trade RUT but they don't have 5-point spread. I hedged not to adjust but because Stochastics was oversold and turned up so I know there was high percentage for it to go back up. I don't buy options PUT or Call unless Stochastic tells me it's ok to do so. For example I don't...

Donnav, I am trying to see how I can use your strategy for Butterfly purpose. When the market is going up like crazy, I would buy the two exterior wings Strikes and then Sell the middle Strike on big down day. The two wings can make money on down day and then When adding the Middle, You...

I am not really thrilled about RUT. There is no 5-point spread. You have to go 10-point or more.

When the technical indicates a Put or Call Spread possibility, I will jump on it. This experience was a good one. I decided to hedge because it was oversold at that time. It was good that I benefit from both Hedge and Spread But based on one year data, I can tell you that 70 points from...
