Looks like it will be, below 35 within 4 months, that's the only trade I see.

Filled TSN puts

I could never get a good feel for slow and steady option trading. Im assuming your refering to credit spreads and decay play types of trades. The only slow and steady option trade I do is diagonal credit on spx puts. I typically trade options directionally, buying them, but only a couple...

Looking to buy TSN 72.5 puts expiring at 9/16. I'm trying to get a fill at 0.55 in a limit order Is this thread still active?

made 80%, wish I owned the September expiration options instead of the August ones.

There is a portion of my capital where I will buy very long term holdings, where stops are not needed. Buying Crude related companies when crude was under 30, where crude was making a bottom... a bottom similar to most macro bottoms...I am more than willing to throw capital at and not care as...

Hahahah.... or in spanish it's JAJAJAJA my 4 systems have been around the block for years buddy keep at it KIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I was fortunate and bought a fair amount of oil/energy related stocks when crude was around 29 back in January/February or so. Most of my picks have done well. I bought mostly quality stocks, but bought some garbage too, the stuff that looked like was about to go bankrupt. I bought UPL at...

I bought GDXJ Puts that expire This coming Friday August 19th. My fill was Friday August 12th on the open on the 50 Strikes: 0.50. This in my opinion is an excellent trade, I'm sure most will argue that it is not because of the massive decay. I think I can easily make 100% on this trade.

I'm not doing it yet, it has more room to run on the upside... The time is not right yet.

I think the play is buy deep in the money, Puts.

Thats' a great idea, pay only a small amount of time value.

I thought about it, but I don't want the full leverage of even 1 contract. I think for my size account and my risk tolerance I would rather smaller size than 1 full contract. I think I could stomach a half a contract. I guess my only options are TLT or TBT, but that is why I am asking I guess.

If you wanted to short the 30 year bond, would you get long TBT, or short TLT? I don't think I want to play this through futures, and I don't want to through options. Any suggestions as to an efficient way to take a position in this for a couple months?

UNH Long PUT 140's Exp 8/19 Purchased average cost 1.04 purchased today Looking to make 200%+ Short Stock ISRG , entered 710 This could take a couple months to play out

In the USA there are 50 states. In each state there are exactly 100,000 asset managers. Your answer is 5 million. Many of which don't manage much money. Hope this helps.

Excellent feedback to my original post. I greatly appreciate it. I'm having a breakthrough year in trading, just trying to work out the kinks.

I would say the biggest struggle I have at this point, is the confidence in the edge's I have designed and created. (I mostly trade directional stocks and commodities through options and the underlying security. I trade some spreads on the SPX, but my real alpha is through directional...

That kind of makes sense, so same expiration for both contracts. Looked like roughly $2500/spread is a rough worst case scenario per my original post and feedback given. Let's say, I only want a max loss of 7.5k (3 spreads). I could then instead just trade 7 spreads. but collect a much...

Sig, That would involve tying up a lot of capital though.
