TJ Looked at your EUR on the larger time frame. It is going up, the dollar down. What does this mean? Market going UP tomorrow at the OPEN? Are there any sort of Spread calculators that would chart a divergence in the spread, of different time frames like a horizontal spread of...

Stanford Tell me if you make any money on these credit spreads on the monthlies with all this rolling down, or up stuff. Itemize it. I'm very curious how it actually works out in practice. The cost must eat into your original credit? T J Neither of your CBOE credit spreads url's...

Holy Cow! Can´t find the top of this trend at all. Another jump!

Forget the company shares you bought Charlie? But I got into HES middle of August for 6 contracts at $4710 debit. Just sold them for $9720. Before commissions the gross is $5010. That is 106% return on capital for a three month trade using January 2012 Leap options. A once a year trade...

T J Well if I´m right, we have, or are just making the top with an hour to go.

Huunh? Im looking for your private email? If you go back through the posts you will find it already. I´m trying to figure it out. Certainly trying to pick the top here, I´m not doing good at all. Going to have to devise a method of doing that. Whoops! got to go, wife is honking...

Well that is definitely a surprise surge upward. I´m trying to find something that would have told me it was going to happen.

T J I got your query a day late. This is Tuesday morning. I see the market going down again after the opening gap? TRYING MY NEW SYSTEM, WHICH I DO NOT UNDERSTAND TOTALLY YET, BORROWED FROM THAT GUY I PREVIOUSLY TALKED ABOUT. I´m tweaking and adjusting in experiments. Made after...

T J One of your links didn´t work. One did. Option Calculator 1.42 Its free, very simple and basic. Comes as a download. I´ve been having trouble with my regular computer and am on a spare and so far have been unable to establish it as an icon and regular feature. Computer is...

T J Dull Monday morning looks like? I´m planning to do directonal long experiments this week and directonal debit spreads in the close month. I did locate an online option calculater that seems to work like my old Option Master and can now project sell exit prices. I would like to...

Stanford I was able to access ELITE TRADER SPX forum, without registering to read. To contribute, I had to put my email down and register. From reading the SPX trader forum I learned a lot and figured joining was a useful and good thing. I would not get hit with a lot of SPAM selling me...

T J That was a very good post on margin calls. It made me reflect and think more clearly about what I am trying. Very useful. Long ago, decades back - I had stuff closed on me for margin calls. I also had a couple of instances when positions were messed up by assignment...

T j As to the pay sites, I NEVER subscribe. Anything that requires me to enter my email is out. I like informative sites that are FREE, but have a long list of other services, or links on the side, you can peruse and see if you want to buy something. The LEAD, or sucker bait is...

T j I read a lot of free tutorial option trading sites. I find them informative to the point of all being the same blanket setup. What I am always looking for is sites that explain a particular strategy, or tweak a strategy that make something work, which they don't explain with the...

Stanford Me neither! It also seems I do not know much about DEBIT SPREADS either?

T J Something wrong here with my debit spread system? My entry spread varies a bit, from $3.80 to $5.50 right up to now. I went into the PUT buy side with the bought part in the recent Index move down. The sold side is still out of the money. The spread "I THOUGHT" was supposed to...

Stanford and TJ I'm out of the market for this weekly expiration. I went from a + $1590 net gain, to a net loss of - $2320. Won't kill me, but I sure hated getting panicked like that. Two things did it. I had just looked at the OPEN INTEREST after re-reading the blurb about Expiration...

The EUR chart actually turned over in the histogram and started down four days ago. My signal indicator also gave a DOWN trend, 4 days ago. The actual EUR chart started losing momentum about 14 days ago. Does it do this consistantly?

T J So how do I read the EUR/USD as an indicator? a) If the Euro goes down it leads the market? b) If the USD goes up, it leads the market as a Down Signal? Enquiring minds would like to know? __________________________________ Actually I find that down signal...

From Socrates to Stanford To help me think about the right question, please clarify. Thanks. :cool:
