Try and stay on topic. This thread is a heads-up on Friday's holiday. FYI ..... I can (and do, if asked) explain all my replies with common sense and reality based on my experience, BUT keep your inquiries in the respective thread. :)

Me to. :) If I was selling OTM options that steamroller/pennies avatar image would be OK, but I am a buyer of OTM options - see my profile description. A more appropriate avatar image for a buyer of OTM options would be: Pennies in - Dollars out Once again - This Friday is a holiday...

FYI US markets closed this Friday July 3. Be aware of your option positions expiring this week. :)

What for? If your $1.50 bid doesn't get filled why not just raise it until it does get filled? Or better yet just accept the ask and get your order filled. Leave the games for the other guys. :)

Quantum Entanglement - Instantaneous communication? Wiki: Quantum Entanglement As most have you know the correlation between the particles is instantaneous - distance is not a factor. The implications of this is enormous. If scientists/physicists could alter the state of the entangled...

Nine_Ender has a history of stirring the pot on ET. :)

If the OP is legit then the payoff should be about $25,000. Assigned 17,900 SPY at $210.50. I assume a margin call at market open - about $211.90. 211.90 - 210.50 = 1.40 x 17,900 = $25,000 :)

Yes ...... I fully understand the idea behind your thread. And a good idea if option positions progressed like this: Plus or minus. 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% 110% 120% 130% 140% 150% ... ... ... You then can easily set your stop loss or profit, in your case exit at minus 100%...

Sounds good on paper ....... but impractical in reality. The after-hour market. Unexpected news. Options don't move in a linear fashion. Down 50% one day, up 100% the next. The only practical stop is the total debit or maximum loss of a credit spread. Otherwise you end up leaving lots of...

Five of the "ten horseman", good option plays at anytime - including earnings. I posted those very options to my profile on April 15, 2015. TWTR has been replaced with MSFT. I very rarely will venture outside of my ten choices plus QQQ when it comes to options. :)

Oh yes it does help ...... I kick started your thread after 20 hours of zero replies, now you have an active thread. BUT all those replies (and future replies) will not answer your OP, you will end up with more questions than answers. That is a fact. :)

jimmyjazz ........ I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but someone has to step up to the plate otherwise your thread will end up with 0 replies. So here it goes ........ ...... Estimating the future price of a stock is nothing more than fantasy. Sure you can try and use some sort of formula...

No ... Perhaps some sort of technical issue with your computer? or whatever. :)

Q: Do weekly options have a premarket? A: No :)

Why would my PHP thread get moved from Programming to Chit Chat? PHP Script - Changes website color scheme according to market performance IMO ...... It fits the description for the Programming section. The intention of the thread was a heads-up on how PHP can extract Yahoo Finance...

Herd Mentality :)

Below is a gimmicky PHP script that gets real-time market data from Yahoo Finance and will change a websites color-scheme based on how the market is doing - in this case SPY. You can also use PHP to extract real-time currency quotes from Yahoo Finance. SPY up or down less than 0.60% = Blue...

Yes ...... But I would stick with Calls even if the stock drops slightly after earnings. We are in a bull market that has sort of stalled this past 3 months, the last earnings didn't do much for the markets. Perhaps buy at 10:00 AM EST the day after earnings. Maximum 3 to 4 weeks to expiry. :)

Your incessant whining is annoying. :)
