I was going to say exactly what Tom just said, but he expressed it more efficiently. It's as though you have this perspective that what has happened must dictate what will happen, and that new opposing forces are not allowed into the marketplace. In financial mathematics, the ultimate reality...

Way beyond where I need to go with this, and I have found two things to keep away from for someone who doesn't know options, selling is bad, puts cause immediate brain farts, but I tremendously appreciate the assistance. Thank You.

I'd like to say thank you very much to everyone. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: Hopefully, one day this year I'll be able to share the finished product with ya' all.

I honestly have to say, it breaks my heart to see NG trading $2.25 for Jan. :(

My apologies, I am not trying to be contentious, I guess old habits die hard. Just seem more like a positive characteristic than a primary motivator. Not difficult to quantify in dollars and cents. ..and yes, I caught weekly. I'll say no more, not that I trade anyway, I'll just go back to...

If you were talking VdelV my eyebrow would probably be a bit lower, and that sweet spot is definitely outside of 1-2 ATR. Please let me know, I'm curious what they are doing, but not curious enough to break my no Twitter rule.

How can you not like a guy whose name is a tautology? The guy probably hasn't slept in anything but a pile of his own vomit in 10 years. :D

Yes people being allowed to exchange goods at a price determined by the free will of both buyer and seller, how nefarious. Now look behind you,.the boogieman is coming.

As an FYI... Did you know most of those people in the pit scene were real traders.

This is all nonsense. Traders are doing God's work. <Puts rolled up $100 bill in nose as head lowers towards mirror>

Ya mean the same nod of ascent I gave to someone when I first heard "a puts a call, and a calls a put." When reality was --> :confused:

ROFLMAO... I already used the entire walking onto the exchange quote. Need to check if I'll get sued before I use it. But I do like that... touch more complicated than I wanted but a nice interesting segue... "If eddie had..." hhmmm weather I like a lot, but again, touch restricive carrying the...

Funny thing is, I noticed a negative correlation between my familiarity of a product and my ability to trade it.

Honestly, feels too complicated. I don't even want to use the word strike. More like... waiting for train, 5 minute bet.. 5 minutes is the 5 minute call, 10 minute bet is cheaper = 10 min call... Maybe it helps to understand the only real objective I have is to get to the straddle. That's the...

Appreciate, but from that perspective I could use any market. I am searching for something non-market related. Under/Overs on football games... the subway.. shit like that... although maybe, you're right, and I will just use a real market based example... but much appreciated.

I'm trying to find ONE analogy to use to explain the absolute basics of options (intrinsic, extrinsic, call and put) at a level that will be understandable to someone who has never heard the word and has no desire to learn about them. My mind goes to the obvious of insurance, but as that is...

I'm really scratching my head as to why you would jump to that conclusion. Taking on a first order expense, with the 'primary' objective of seeking benefit from a third order movement that occurs at the 4th decimal?

Well, then at least some good came from it. :p

Not sure why I remember his name, but I know it is filed away in the recesses of my brain under sensationalist angry scumbag. Not even worth the energy of what I already typed. He knows his audience. If 1% of 300,000,000+ is angry and bat shit insane (and I think that's an extremely...

I think you can safely remove the word maybe, but the fact you recognize this, is a step in the right direction. and so was this: "If this were real money, I would have lost 8.9% of the $100,000 I bet today. Roughly $8,900 gone just like that in a matter of 6 hours." define your boundary...
