Thanks atticus, I will definitely review those strategies. Good news is that I am only playing with $100s not $1000s right now haha.

Alright atticus, thanks a lot for the info. I appreciate it. I am just a young one looking for some action, what can I say lol!! Anyways, what I will do with this current position is I will put in a stop loss just in case it sinks down a lot. What position would you have put on in VIX, if you...

Unless you think we will go down 4 points within 2 months!?!?!?!

I see what you mean, it looks like I will just sell these off and cut my losses.

So what should I do then sell them back to close? How do you figure they are tied to the futures? what is the ticker for the future?

Didn't know that, so that means im fked lol?

After all of my market speculation I came to a conclusion. BUY VIX PUTS. Reason being, I believe that once they announce the passage of the increased debt ceiling, the market will rally big. FYI: they are supposed to release the decision on or before July 22nd. The VIX will be standing their...

Where do you guys "think" GLD will be trading in a few months?

I am new to futures trading everyone, I have a few questions. Why does etrade require a $10,000 account to trade futures? Are futures more profitable than options and stocks? What is different about futures trading? Thanks.

Beta what futures options do you trade? Please give me some ticker symbols so I can get an idea of what the premiums are. thanks.

Hello Beta I really like your idea. Your strategy seems very similar to mine, collecting premiums and taking advantage of time decay. Very nice.

What do you guys think about buying the GLD Aug 20' 11 - 150 Calls?

To be honest, I believe there will be another mini crash again before the debt ceiling announcement. Reason being, the media will instill fear into all investors by saying. "If a decision is not reached on the debt ceiling by this day then the results for the world economy and US dollar will be...

Hello sle can you please give me an example of a trade you did before. I just want to try to learn as much as I can. Thanks

Can you please rephrase that so people who aren't expert traders can understand lol. thanks sle.

Wouldn't it be more difficult to accurately buy spx puts rather than purchasing vix calls? Because it seems that it is extremely difficult to recognize resistance points in the spx. In the vix it seems that every time we get any where from 12.00, 13.00, 14.00, 15.00 we have somewhat of a run. I...
