Yes but that's my point, I want to exercise the put option because the real value in shares is much bigger with the % I'm profitable than if I just sell to close for more % but lesser real value... So if I exercise my put option I'm in fact shorting the stock after I exercised it? If I exercise...

Can someone explain me in practice how a put option is exercised? Let's say you bought a put option at 30 $ strike price, underlying now is at 20$ and you exercise your put. What happens? So you buy the shares at 30 $ or at 20 $? I don't understand this concept how you profit from it in...

Anyone knows company with big earnings expectations to buy straddles on? The more volatile the better...

I know them but can you scan for the criteria I mentioned in my opening post? Because nowhere on there site you see specifically what you can scan for.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a stock screener where I can scan for the following things: - Commodity channel index where you can change the days - weekly candles - crossover over -100 or 0 or + 100 from below or from above In all the screeners that are available I can't find with certainty a...

Ok, now I understand, thank you very much.

Still don't get it. I understand the fact that I pay the premium 4012$ and also the stock at 20$, so that's 2000$ = 6012$. Can someone explain in detail?

I don't get it. Can you explain.

Hi all, I was reading option chains and I saw the following: Stock price is at 20$. I can buy a deep in the money put option for something like 40.12 $. Strike price is 60 $. So in this situation, I buy 1 put option for 4012 $. and I can exercise my option immediately. So I buy the stock...

Yes, It's not true, option premium is always higher than the intrinsic value. Was reading a bad platform.

And what if I can buy it at that ask price, I make an immediate profit?

What do you mean by speed?

I'm talking about a put option. And you are right, 3 x 80 =240. But still then, here it would be a profitable trade I think?

I have a question about exercising options. I have heard you can always exercise a stock option when it's american style, even if there is no volume. (because when you exercise you don't need to sell, so volume doesn't matter). But I have seen options like this: Stock price is now around...

Not when you are buying them at the moment when volatility spikes, and the calls are up several 100%, puts will be cheap.

What I don't understand is, when you buy VXX puts when volatility spikes, why the premiums are high? If volatility spikes, the premium of the calls will be expensive, but the puts will be very cheap. Also sometimes after a big spike, there is some very high volatility up and down the days after...

I agree with you on the fact that VXX or UVXY decays too fast to buy them. With going long VIX calls or short VIX puts do you mean going short (by buying puts) or do you mean short puts (selling an option)? Can you explain why it has more time to play out (do you mean vs buying VXX or UVXY and...

Hi all, I'm preparing myself how to trade when volatility in the VIX spikes up. I've read a lot of articles about it. And I think the most safe way is to play VXX or UVXY when volatility starts declining. you can buy put options on VXX or UVXY or go long XIV after a sharp drop. Anyone has...

Yes It's what I thought, that insurance in case of... is costly.
