    Options better for newbs?

    How about this one: Yeah you can get in for a fraction of the "price" but you can loose the entire ball of wax in one volatility swing. Hence, they may look cheaper but really they are not. Entry and exit can be problematic as well depending on how complex your spread is (if you do that) or...

    Why Bidu is going to fall

    hahah I know nothing about this stock or company, but from a technicians viewpoint I would not buy this stock anytime in the near future. I would consider shorting it if I knew more about it. Thats my 0.0002 :D

    lost beginner

    Learning about options is a good exercise but don't expect to make any real money from it. Do you want to be an option broker? If so, why? :D I have said it before and I'll say it again. For options "Options as a strategic investment" $35 is better than any "seminar" you will ever...

    Question on reading option tables

    Check cme.com for futures multipliers. I saw a really cool list the other day at that site but forgot the address. Sorry it's there though! Most options are 100.

    Long BA

    Nitetrader: The Sept contract expires in 4 days. You are looking for a 5+ point move in that time. Please save your money. I would be surprised to see BA anywhere near 105 by next month expiry. It is sitting at a resistance turning point. May go down a bout a point in the next day or...

    Any advantages to Single Stock Futures over Options?

    Options have many spreads and fancy terms. More things to figureout. When you figure them all out you see their worth in a much diffferent way. Going to futures is what you wanted the optoin to do all along if you are a shrot term directional trader who likes leverage. Time frame and...

    Seeking Fly experts

    Thats is what I am unsure about... the price action of a fly with less than 7 days. I see the RUT going close to my favor, but I have never held onto an option with less than 7 days to expire. I guess I may just call it a lesson and see what happens.

    Thinking about the futures

    Ok, this is cool. I am running out of questions. But I still have a few. If this is available "24 hours" how is that possible that ER2 can keep moving when RUT is closed for the day? I did a virtual trade this morning and made $260 in about 2 hours. - That was cool and that would...

    Seeking Fly experts

    Then this is not a great play. Anyone wanna buy it? Should I get out and take what I can or wait another day or two and try to get more?

    Thinking about the futures

    Incestopedia also mentioned that you could spread. Do futures have options? (although I can't imagine it would be any different from what I do now). I still don't understand if there is no "strike price" how the contract holds value.

    Thinking about the futures

    Here is where I am stuck now. Futures seem very str8 forward. Here is the contract, this is the price, take it or leave it. However, how can you spread something like that if there is no chain? I found a virtual account but does not give you the option to spread. Lets take ER2 for...

    Seeking Fly experts

    What would you do? If you bought a 800 / 810 / 820 fly on the RUT a few weeks ago (as the first wave of the triple top was forming) for 0.75 And you wanted to get out since the day you bought in. The B/A is getting closing in on your $1.15 exit price (reduced from $1.45 originally)...
