There are lots of videos like that. Pacific citizens waiting to vote. The video is long but you will see how the spanish police act. 8.00 am , cloudy day in Barcelona, in front of a polling station. It was the first actuation of the spanish police in Barcelona that day. This is why people...

This declaration is a shame. Please read international press that were here in Barcelona that day. The Spanish national television has said nothing about the brutal police repression. Nobody believes what spanish goverment is saying. We want to broke with a law, yes, a law that is forbbiding...

Hi It is a complex situation. Let me put it into the context. The catalan goverment has been asking for a vinculant referendum for many years. A Referendum accorded with Spain. But no other response than silence from the Spaish goverment. Spanish goverment is composed by Partido popular...

The prime minister of Catalonia has asked today for international mediation. The borders are well defined. Catalonia is a land with more than 1000 years of history. We are civilized european citizens and all we want is freedom to decide. We have the capacity to be a country like Denmark. If...

The intention of the catalan parlamient is to declare the independence this week. I agree and support that decision, because is the only way that Europe, UE, takes us seriously. Catalonia occupies just over 6.3% (32,114 sq km) of Spain’s territory, but its importance is not proportionate to its...

A Shame for Europe. Yesterday a lot of catalans broke with our emotional ties with spain. Visca Catalunya lliure.

What I would like to know is your opinion about one particular scenario. I have tried to ask it to the broker but no conclusive answer. I am posting a profile risk of the three situations to easily see what I am saying E.g. 1_ Spy at 250 , open a Bear put , + 10 put 246 - 10 put 245...

Hi thank you for your response @TrustyJules I have to say that I thought the same as you, all the options literature says this, but the reality is different. Puts itm are early assigned very often, and calls only the day before ex-dividend. I only trade very liquid options Spy, Spx. That...

Hi Thank you for your opinions @Sig @MoreLeverage You two coincide in saying portfolio margins could be less predictable. That could be a problem. In low volatility markets the margin requirements would be very low so you could get a lot of leverage. But when the vol rises the margin...

Hi I am a newbie retail trader with a margin RegT account. Sometimes my short positions are early assigned and my account automatically has a margin violation because I have to buy a lot of shares. When that occurs my broker, Interactive Brokers, gives me 10 minutes at the begining of the...

Thank you all for the response. The strike 249 would be closer to atm and its iv would be higher. Undestood. I would like to ask a question. I know, after few months of real trading in options, that Implied volatility is the key. Some people say implied volatility is an input and some...

Wow what a polite post. I would not talk like that evn to a person who had absolutelly opposite political views . do not know which country you are from but I would like to think its citizens have more democratic sense than you, or at least more education. Not interested at all in talking with...

Thank you for the responses @stevegee58 @Martinghoul Yes I assume that a $ 1 incresase will not chance volatility, since is only a 0,4% upside increase, what i think could cause a decrease in iv. Correct me please. If this increase is in 6 hours I assume The iv wouldn't change, or at least...

Hi I want to make a question about Greeks. I think it is basic stuff but I have doubts. I want to know if the change in the option's price is completly explained by the greeks. If we take two otm consecutives strikes for SPY we can see that maybe the greeks doesn't explain the change . Now...

Hi I am surprised to hear so little about that topic in theses forums. It could be the cause of a large increase of volatility in Spain, not only for catalan banks. Political instability use to cause economic uncertainty. I don't know if B. Sabadell will be one of the most affected because...

Hi Mr @Buy1Sell2 May I ask you in what thread did you post that edge. I have to try asking you or I will have to read your 14.000 posts, that for sure are very interesting. And Mr @SoesWasBetter if you tell me an edge I 'll be sending your cut too, or if it's half an edge and I have to...

Hi Yes you are right, you can sell the stock and the long puts. What you have to see is how wide is the bid and ask in the first 10 minutes and if you will be able to sell the long puts with fair price. And that said i want to say that in my short time experience I have been early assigned a...

Hi First I want to say I think this is a very interesting question. In my opinion, if your short leg goes itm doesn't happen anything, because your risk is well defined. But if you are early assigned then maybe there is a problem. Imagine the stock price decrease bellow your long put, and your...

Hi Very interesting what you explain. One of those things to look carefully. Probably you know, but here an article that maybe you'll find interesting. https://seekingalpha.com/article/4025862-flat-using-options-data-predict-future-prices Thanks

Hi Yes @ironchef, I tried to close the position separetly but it doesn't work for me because if i do it the position will be umbalanced and the margin requirement is higher. So I have to do it at the same time with a combo order. Thank you @beerntrading. The broker is Interactive Brokers. And...
