LOL I don't think ice likes u_g Did you catch VZ earns? I was busy with other sht.

About six seconds for NYSE TICK update--join the exchange if it really matters that much. I use NYSE TICK from realtick and see no problem with every six second but 1) i am not automated and 2) i don't take steroids.

definitely Realtick. I have been a customer for over 5 years and aside the fiasco they had last year it has been a pleasure. Lately, the platform is working very well for me. I used Esignal in the late 90's and found the people to be less than capable along with limiting software factors too...

Maybe you don't need to ask anything until you have a record. Don't beat around the bush what do you want to do with your life, where are you in life? Your credibility and character is the sell and the track record MUST be a given. If you are in college just hit the books and stop dreaming...

Thanks cnms2.

I can? Thanks. :) I want to setup HUM but am finding little volume and open interest to flap thy wings so i may just stick to the underlying. Any thoughts on possible option constructs for HUM? EDIT: cnms2, how difficult was is it to setup your excel sheets to run options analysis?

The long calendar spread. Why not use the 30's though so your constructs are ATM and you can get a pure time decay? I guess you believe the underlying will move into the $32.50 area sooner than later.

I'm getting a different read on the underlying. Depending on opening print tomorrow $31.50 is likely before there is another test to the downside. Which leads me to believe that perhaps the long put spread will be cheaper to establish if the underlying completes this crater. However, i can...

Establish a 12-60 month trading record in several arenas using a business entity such as an LLC. Pay a reputable and long-standing CPA firm to do an outside audit. Anyone with a clue will ALWAYS assess your risk first(position sizing, margin, drawdown measures) and profit second so keep...

Why open this position the day before earnings? You want to trade a stock with a small consistent and measurable trading pattern such as VZ but why allow yourself to open a position the day before earnings and a possible divergence from the norm. Don't you want to see where institutions and...

I'm very satisfied with the DELL 24" LCD. I'd like to know if anyone has several of these hooked up on a multi-monitor stand and if the edges sit plum tight? Thanks.

I get the hint. :D Do a search. I had a few threads this summer when work was slow but lately my work load does not permit it. This week is an exception because of the type of trades i took and i did make a personal commitment to try to give to others what little i have been able to master in...

Sure. But this is Multi's journal. :) If he/she allows it and when i have time. I try to not reveal too much about myself and my trading for obvious reasons. A lot of technical but with a fundamental foundation. I trade all time frames but specialize in 3 hour and 3 day trade setups in NYSE...

Is there an area of interest that you would like to examine for possible trade setups or did you mean that my worth here is limited to posting my trades? As an example, we can look at Multi's latest trade in best buy calls and say that the time was/is right to sell time value decay for...

It is your right to disagree. Prejudice is not the choice word here. Very opinionated will suffice for this example. Experience only counts for so much. At some point one will realize it is a matter of training oneself continuously with consistentcy. If you want continuous and consistent...

Then wait. I don't need to wait b/c any trading method that takes such trades is not sound enough to survive. I have respect for everyone trying to make it in this business. My opinions and brash comments are a cause of many years of struggling until i was able to trade with consistent...

Mazal-tov. Now remember to write it down for next time. :)

Peete's Coffee? Come on. Can you live with yourself taking such a trade? I mean really....peete's coffee? I know about losing trades because i have plenty of them. It is part of trading. I have been watching without much care until i saw the BBY call purchase--it was in direct conflict...

By the end of the week an increase in intrinsic value for said options would be met with a decrease in time value with the underlying pricing to the levels you mention. You took the trade as so many do prematurely when the market was running hot but showed signs of immediate pullbacks. You...

What about a reason for taking the trade?
