I know a number of ppl who moved to (state )tax free state but they live there at least more than 6 months. Your problem will be a money trail. If you work in your high tax state there will be a w2 and you would have to literally commit fraud by reporting yourself as a non or part time...

You don't say what you paid for them but I'm assuming your sitting on a profit. There isn't much chance of them being called away because there is too much time premium left so it depends entirely on your outlook for the SPY going forward. If you think there is more room to the upside keep...

Agree there seems to be more flexibility and liquidity in ES options (spreading weekly and monthly) vs CL options

What have you had the most success with? I try CL now and then but over the years ES has just worked better for me. Others do very well with CL

GL are you doing SPY or SPX?

here ya go...love the way they say it in the south

I enjoy your ramblings...CL has been a real puzzler...had been trading it earlier this spring/summer then GTFO of it and quite relieved..care to speculate why it is down soooo big today? End of summer? My goal for the rest of the year is to trade less but smarter!!! I don't know how many...

totally Mav and I have bought...believe it or not...however just as risky!! ;)

I was trading the monthlies...pretty successfully but then vol seemed to drop out and your right....the premium is just not there. Oil doesn't really move then wham...moves big...I don't think you are paid enough for the risk.

When you buy an OTM weekly call you are simply making a bet the underlying is going up...it is EXACTLY the same as if you decide to buy the UL...except you have defined your risk. Option TRADERS look at more than JUST the delta and trade spreads based on opinions not just of direction but other...

Seriously FX....YOU...do not trade options! You trade the UL via options..thats IT!!!!

Well I'm going out on a limb here and predict....flatline..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Dr. Dr. We need the paddles stat!

They would not be called "traders" they would be called "Investors". ;) In trader time that was 100 years ago!

up .2 IS the new flat:rolleyes:

very unhappy I didn't get filled on my SELL a PUT (at the price I wanted) I'm sure at some point this week I'll have another chance

Thx for sharing....just curious are you including trading costs in over all calc? I've been trying to cut down on hedging as it just seems to be cost inefficient...sigh.

I hope so...tried to sell an ES 85 put but couldn't get a decent price...hopefully sun nite or mon Just can't bring myself to sell a put at these low vol levels....sigh..btw love the sweetie on your avatar...

So how do I know what threads I'm up to date on? The bullet points showing new(to me) posts are no longer there.

I can enter spreads...even complicated (only in the same series)...but its the way margin on them are calculated. What you can NOT do are calendars or diagonals because you can only do spreads on the same series...therefore if I WANT to roll as a single trade this weeks long call to next week I...

Thanks guys, I know your right FCM 's "should" know the ins and outs of futures therefore be better to deal with. Its frustrating because you are not really rewarded for defined risk trades when trading futures. Because you can't roll a future option as one order (you are forced to leg in...
