    Selling covered calls for a premium....how far out?

    for fops i don’t do spread. for example, es eom 10% otm can probably net 35-45% annually, and if it retraces 10% in a single month, i’d long the es. in this instance, size of the account matters.

    Cheapest Prices on Futures Trading

    I have both. For swing/position trades, including FOPs, IB is all in one, if you can search it, it can be traded. High margin requirement is a plus so I have to be mindful of my NLV. On the another hand, AMP is funny money, have to put a hard stop loss if you are not careful about the leverage.

    i have said that last week, rty long. for es, if this earnings season is probably the first quarter that fails to impress, besides the book cooking. election and rate are risk off trades.

    dude, i have tsla at average cost basis of 35 (post splits), on the news they finished their first shaghai shop. you are late to the party. the point is that tsmc makes 100% of the high end chips, it will cost more in the futures. and if he gets chinese emotional, no chips for anyone.
