    You must be playing with us Mo, I'm sure you get what he is saying. $.85 credit = 9.3% return on at risk capital .085/(1-.085)= .093 or 9.3% with 16% chance of expiring in the money

    If Sailing is recording it (probably as an MP3) he could post the file on podcast.yahoo.com. I've never done it but it looks like it could work.

    A solution to the oil crisis: Ban all new Suv and large trucks sales

    Forget banning SUV's and large trucks, just pass a law banning poverty. Raise the minimum wage to at least $30 /hr, the whole country will be rich and we can all afford anything we want! Oh how I love the government, they can solve all of our problems :p

    No bites today from the MM's, even at .15 off the mid at times. Oh well, tomorrow is another day and will just take what the market gives me.

    None of the indexes in the box on the left are working. Happened just a little bit ago. Not sure if that is affecting the chains or not, doesn't look like it at first glance.

    I've found myself gravitating to the 45d-15d rollover or there abouts, I used to go more towards 35d-0d. The last two weeks on my FOTM positions hardly budge, they are always stuck at .10-.20ish so I haven't been sticking around for expiration.

    In his example the margin is actually half, 20 FOTM spreads vs 10 OTM spreads both with 10 points between the short and long.

    This is my first time using TOS's papertrading platform. The mid was at $1.45 when I entered the trade and it filled me at that number. Realistically I would be around $1.25-$1.30 if it was even filled. I can't find a way to adjust my fill so I will just go with it as is with the...

    For fun and education for myself, in my paper money portfolio I opened a May 1335/1340 bear call spread for $1.45. Rallymode really got me thinking about the 5 point spreads closer to the money.

    Go to the Help tab on the TOS software. They have narrated videos on how to use their software. It only took me an hour or so to get comfortable with it. Once you see how it works you will see how much better it is than OX.
