Hi guys, I read this on the Montreal Exchange's OptionMatter website regarding selling credit spreads: They recommend: selling 1-month “At-the-money” strikes (50 delta) and buying “Out-of-the-money” strikes (25 deltas) and selling short-dated options (3-7 weeks) as they take advantage of higher...

Thanks Arnie, I'll check it out

I checked out the website and it turns out B.C. ended its Home Owner Mortgage and Equity Partnership in 2018. It has no down payment assistance programs any more.

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out :) I haven't heard of down payment assistance for investment properties.

The average home price in Vancouver BC is around $800,000. A 20% down payment equals $160,000. I can't afford that at the moment. It seems conventional financing may not be a viable option for me. Is there any other way of investing in real estate? I've heard of lease options. Have any you...

Hi guys, Let's say I'm doing a bull put spread for AMD. The max return is $18 according the Interactive Brokers. Should the limit price I enter be -0.18? When I enter this number I get a message saying: "The limit price exceeds the market price by 11.73%; the current limit is 3%." What...

Thanks for the response. I don't mind dropshipping. I like the idea of looking for products to dropship, setting up zen desk for customer service, doing market research, but I'm not comfortable with risking $2000+ on FB testing. What if I don't discover any profitable campaigns/demographics...

Can you please elaborate? I'm interested in selling weekly bull put spreads.

What's your opinion regarding selling weekly options? Do you use them more than monthly options? Do weeklies offer any advantage over monthly options (eg tighter spreads)?

Just curious, were you following Investor's Business Daily Big Picture for the market outlook?

Hi guys, I'm looking to trade a vertical spread in IB but I can't find the OI and volume for the legs. I've included a snapshot of what it looks like. It seems that volume/OI is only visible for individual puts in the Calls and Puts section. Can you please help? Thanks

That's music to my ears, thanks :)

Hi guys, if I use, say, 4:1 leverage and the spread is normally 2 pips for the EUR/USD, does that mean I pay 8 pips? or do I still only pay 2 pips? Thanks

Thanks for the input. When I looked for the 45/40s in IB it said N/A. So a 5 point difference between both strike prices is better than 10?

Sorry I didn't know a combo meant calls and puts. I meant a bull put spread. Just puts.
