    Continous hedging as a rachet device to lock-in profits

    botpro ........ Don't listen to all the negative posters, there is a lot of professional jealousy on this site. Your "Continuous Hedging" idea is brilliant and it shows you like to think outside the box. Keep working on the concept and it will eventually bear fruit. :)

    Closing an ITM option position - disregard midpoint and base on intrinsic value?

    I assume you bought those at a lower price when they were OTM? If so then I would be a motivated seller and be happy with the $1.92, even if it's lower than intrinsic value. Take the money and run. :)

    This Baird fellow is obviously wrong. Naked Calls = Unlimited Risk Covered Calls/Naked Puts = Limited Risk :)

    Continous hedging as a rachet device to lock-in profits

    At 1:05PM you posted this in your "Strategy: Selling Put Options: The Best Income Method?" thread. Then later on at 1:54PM you started this thread. They are identical posts. That is cross-posting which is frowned upon by most forums. :)

    Continous hedging as a rachet device to lock-in profits

    Botpro ....... You are cross-posting which can lead to the thread being deleted. I replied in your other thread "one-time hedging" vs "continously hedging" :)

    Strategy: Selling Put Options: The Best Income Method?

    As in Credit Spreads or Covered Calls instead of being short naked? As in micro-managing by selling and/or buying options to adjust the trade as it progresses? The first choice is the safest and it will define your risk from the open. Closing the trade at a loss or profit is better then...

    Strategy: Selling Put Options: The Best Income Method?

    Yes drcha aka Captain Obvious that is correct. That's why I suggested to botpro a few days ago to try a PEP Put 90/85 Credit Spread instead of selling the July 15, 2016 PEP 90.00 Puts naked. :)

    Strategy: Selling Put Options: The Best Income Method?

    But daniel5198's post is just a blanket statement that doesn't apply to botpro's post he replied to, and botpro's post was in reply to my post which was in reply to an earlier botpro post. The problem with those 1-line answers is that they don't take into account the flow of quoted posts and...

    Strategy: Selling Put Options: The Best Income Method?

    You don't "hedge" or micro-manage in anyway .......... All options positions including Short Puts should be left alone while the trade is open. If the trade is too risky for your comfort level then make changes before you open it. :)

    Which company has option for Canadian dollar / Chinese yuan?

    IMO ....... If you can find options for US dollar vs Chinese Yuan the bid/ask and volume will be very unfavorable. Back to your OP and post #4 ....... The best way to hedge the Canadian dollar/Chinese yuan is to buy/sell the Chinese yuan with/for the Canadian dollar. :)

    Which company has option for Canadian dollar / Chinese yuan?

    CAD/USA vs USA/CAD is irrelevant. The OP stated "company" which one would imagine means a dealer and not an exchange and they could quote CAD/USA or USA/CAD - both are valid. :)

    Which company has option for Canadian dollar / Chinese yuan?

    The bid/ask might be very wide. Maybe try a CAD/USA USA/YUAN combo? :)
