    When premium income is collected

    i see...so when you say a preemtive trade in the underlying meaning that you would in advance go long the underlying market before the excercise so that the inevitable short position you will take when its excersied will be offset as soon as it is established? (in the case of selling a call)

    When premium income is collected

    what exactly do you mean by "not knowing what your position would be"? dont you know if your option was excercised? does your broker call you and tell you. sorry i am new to this. what happens? if the option is excercised bascially you lose the premium income you initially collected correct...

    When premium income is collected

    you mentioned that the call expires ITM or OTM. dont options expire in ITM as well? i thought all options expire isnt that correct? you also mention an interesting point that options expire OTM OR ATM with some exceptions. when you say some exceptions are you referring to when the buyer doesnt...

    so what you're saying is that for example if i sold a 1.11 coffee call option for $300 and the strike was hit before expiration and it is now in the money at let's say 1.12. i would have to pay the option buyer $375? (coffee $3.75 a point x100) now let us say that is has expired. so in this...

    When premium income is collected

    i have a question. if i sell a naked call and the market is in the money at option expiration do i lose the entire premium income in my account which i collected when sold the option plus having to pay every point per tick that it has moved above the strike price?

    has anyone tried this vantagepoint software?

    actually there are no reviews that were substantial enough. a proper review would be from people that actually bought and i havent even found one. it's interesting how courses and books promise the "80% accuracy deal" it looks great on paper. however what is the money management behind it? even...

    has anyone tried this vantagepoint software?

    i see them all over the place on the internet. they have their ads on barchart.com, trading charts.com and many other futures and charting websites. they want 1000's for their software and claim to always have "80% accuracy" results. any feedback on this?

    has anyone actually taken the traders international course on the e-minis??

    actually afshin in his live demo risks only 1 times the reward. his objective seems to risk 2 points for 2 points or 1 for one. the question is if the systems works. the problem i have is that their "double bottoms" form ok, but the signals are tricky. its difficult to actually time your entry...
