this is so painful to follow... Maverick and riskarb have always been helpful. i admit, the stuff they deal with are beyond my options knowledge, but just because i don't understand them, i don't try to pretend they don't exist. people ask them technical questions about options and they...

Thanks, guys! i'm not going anywhere, though :) i'd love to keep this thread going for the exchange of options ideas & opportunities. my previous post showing that i'm on the bullish side is even more fuel for my intention of putting a sizable position on some Dec QQQQ call options...

Thanks, Toby. Good Trading to you. i already started it over on the "Journals" forum and posted the results for this week. this week was a very good week for me, but i stopped trading on wednesday. i just couldn't see any good opportunities worth taking a risk on. it was very choppy, but...

i buy puts & calls. basically swing-trading the underlying but using the options as a vehicle of leverage. i'm short theta, long vega, long (and short? - don't know if the terms change if i'm trading puts) gamma and delta. i use the options to synthetically go long/short the underlying by...

update for the week ending 9/2/2005: gain of about $2250 for the week. current positions mark-to-market: DWA Dec 30 calls - comatose position. still showing a loss of $1050 from inception on 7/1/05 only have 1 open position as i closed everything else trying to be as flat as possible...

halu: I hope that the title of the thread is descriptive enough for the journal. I'm not gonna go to the history as I have another thread that contained all the info on the Options forum. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=52722 I plan to just post trade entries here...

WOWOWOOOOOWWW!! i've only read the firs few posts. this is a very powerful post for me, as i've always let my OTM expire worthless. NOW, for sure if it's got any chance of going in the money, i'm gonna put in an order to "sell to close" at .05 (or even .10) ask GTC. as soon as it hits...

Just an fyi, I won't be posting trades and PNL's on this thread anymore but will be more than happy to reply to options-related discussions. the thread is quite long now, and many of the posts are trades and PNL's, which are still within the scope of the subject, but they really belong in a...

mini-update 9/2/2005: closed the AMZN-put position. AMZN 40 Jan put - closed at 2.15 each. profit of $825 wanna be as flat as possible going into the labor day weekend... peace.

i meant MR Stock on my previous post...

disclaimer: not affiliated with TDWaterhouse except only as a customer.... having said that, they have done very well for me in my options trading. i even tried MROptions before they got bought by JBOxford because i was tempted by their low-commissions and i don't even wanna elaborate on my...

ECA is an animal! that one takes courage to sit-and-hold, though. Oil is quite volatile and eventhough i think it's still going up, the short-term takes nerves of steel to ride through. Good Luck and I hope you keep a lot of money from this game...

Yea, i shouldn't worry about it as the next play is always ahead of me. gotta focus on that. hmmnn... you know, i agree with you on that Qubes hitting 42 by Oct. that 40 resistance is like a wall of bricks just beating up on the Q's, though. it's done it twice, so maybe on the 3rd try the...

$1100 of missed profits now as bid currently shows 2.40. not really complaining about the fact i closed-out a position that kept going up, but i did have a bad judgement. i was too "giddy" about my profits on my closed KBH position, that i "forgot" that the original position was for 10...

10 minutes and chicken-sh*t trade missed out on $200 of profits. current bid 1.95 oh well.... :D
