Credit Spreaders, It appears many of you are watching a lot of TV, CNBC.... etc. May I suggest trading real price movement rather than newsmania. It's a lesson learned from the past which has made trading a much nicer and profitable environment. Try it... just turn off the tube...

In response to TradeKing.com It doesn't cost anything to open an account at tradeking.com The site does have a much nicer, but similar interface than OXs. What I like most so far is the volatility graph they impose from ivolatility.com, the option strategy scanner from ivolatility.com...

The trade was entered just prior to 4PM. During last quarters earnings season, fills after the 4pm close appeared to be closer to mid than during the regular trading hours. Not sure if this was due to after hours volatility in earnings annoucements... or the need to fill large orders...

600 pages and going strong.... so where do we pay? :)

Yes I meant March.... but FEB would have been awesome.

Placed an after hours market order for FEB SPX 1185/1200 and was filled for .85 as the google annoucement made the wires. Tomorrow should be interesting.... Murray

Coach and others, It would be interesting, educational, and informative to hear from people in this forum as to what steps (trades) one would take if a real major-market-moving event occured.... ie, nuclear attack, bio-chemical.... something which would abruptly shock the markets...

Gone 4 hours..... that's nothing, You definitely can't afford to going skiing for three days and expect to keep up with the reading pace of this forum.... It sure keeps the wireless access providers happy though! I, for one, would be interested in a group purchase or referral rate...

Donna, Sorry for the delay... exam week and stuff.... busy. Took advantage of the pullback yesterday to close out the 1310/1300. Although I agree with Phil and your short-term overbought analysis.... I felt is was prudent to take a small profit and move forward. There just seems to...

See Coach.... As soon as you added the partial hedge... (puts), the market goes up! Would you atleast give us a 10 minute warning next time! Murray

Yesterday the 1200/1210 closed for .05 It took most of the day... but someone needed the contracts.... Murray

What we really need to slow down this break out is the sure thing.... Coach to go long some ATM calls. Murray

The 1300/1310 is beginning to get the heart beating. Pullback prayers appreciated ... Murray

Andy, Throw some FIBs on that chart..... it's looks interesting. Murray

FYI, For those of you have an OptionsXpress account, you can apply FIB retracement lines on your charts.... using the drawing tools. It's a service provided by the Prophet.net people. Murray

Donna, Let's hope TA holds true for a few weeks. Interesting.... the 1210p was only 35 points away yesterday. It's amazing what a day can do to your short term trading mid-set. M~

Was filled today on Jan 1300/1310 call spread for .75 to complete an IC. 1200/1210 - .70 1300/1310 - .75 Hoping the resistance holds up here! Murray

Any VectorVest users in this group. Been trying to play with some VectorVest strategies and scan for credit spread opportunities. Murray

Thanks Mo, I was caught up in the apples to apples.... and not looking at the whole TREE! I guess.... it follows my trading style. I usually deal in lot sizes of 10.... and place multiple positions. Time to wake up! Thanks for the clarification! And Donna.... let's get...
