can I completely cut in and ask some specifics on IB.. are you being charged a flat fee for every options trade? as every single one of my orders are different prices... like some are .75 to 1.62... they vary each order??? anyone notice the "buy to close" out short options are now charged...

HI guys, can anyone confirm, As I never look at my commissions charges.. for as long as I knew, any options being "bought to close" at .1 cent was always never charged commissions.. and I just looked at a trade and noticed I'm now being charged "regular" commissions to close out short options...

COMMENTS: Cache, sweet man, congrats! on the car is has some blocking on the glazing but sure it gets hot here in HI, the cool thing is the app will let you control inside temp and you can even just keep it on if you're running errands, there's an option to just leave air con running where you...

COMMENTS: CACHE, nice play, I like it.. what's your backup for getting out if it goes south? are you worried about earnings coming? I have some May plays as well, but not at 225, too rich for my blood although I don't see it ever zonking there, but it's a strange world, and anything can happen...

COMMENTS:CASH, thanks for being here man. will look at the link you showed and thank you for that!. Management of risk is very hard with Naked, there is no lie because something could spike up to just drop the next hour then you felt stupid closing something if you let it ride.. it's more feel...

COMMENTS: destriero, good luck on that bet mate! / option, good island to pick, I'm here because more for my son to do here / blue nice play, did you make anything or close out as from what I saw you were long the call, so did you close out after mid week? I have some other accounts, I am...

Hi guys, maybe I haven't payed attention or maybe it was a dream in my head... I thought short strangles can't be double charged margin as "only one side can possibly lose" .. I swear I remember doing strangles and it only costing the higher of the margin side????

damn Destriero.. well I guess you can just buy us a fleet of them right? hahaha.. nice move. whatever you're doing you make us like look micro transactions, good on you man. one day maybe I'll make trades of that amount I don't think I'm there yet, as I don't like for say directional play as...

Hi guys, all new to me... I bought a tesla recently and decided when I bought it to pay for it with TSLA options. I had this idea for while so decided the time was right. -COST: car costs me total $45,270 ( including registration ) so that's the target with a increase from taxes, being its...

answered my own question, damn exchange is costing .55 cents and apparently I'm getting a little reduction on pricing, which I think is at 65 cents that adds up to 1.22 with a .o2 cent tack on at the end

Hi guys, wondering why I'm getting charged $1.22 for a futures option when the site shows .85 cents.. I can't possibly believe there is a tack on of .37 cent extra in other fees is there? am I calculating wrong here? I've been thinking about trading companies as I hate their exposure fees...

hi guys, so I'm watching a video by option sellers. they are talking about some far dated OTM puts.. they were talking about gold being a margin of like 900... my question.. I can't see anyone getting margin for a put for 900, mine comes around 3,700 I believe.. what are these people...

here's mine I came up with I ask myself every week: "is this play : A.dumb B.stupid C.absurd " "what do I not know, that I need to know before making this play" "how could this go very badly, even though it doesn't seem so" "did you think and write this out before making this play"...

I'm all for resources and expanding your knowledge, but jumping in is 100% quicker learning, and sometimes that might mean pain but start small then go sell 1 45% down, next week expire put on TSLA for I don't know, should be in the range of $5-12 dollars.. watch and ride that rollercoaster of...

would never do weekly IC, there isn't enough width to me. would be better to run 1 1/2 month or 1 month in my eyes. just beware ridding the IC eats away from commission HUGE TIME.. it's why I unfortunately usually let them rot to zero near most the time.. I also do this, as to me it's a...

not sure why no one is mentioning buying year long treasury, or 3 month or one month.. it eats like a fraction of margin, so you can still play with like 99% of it still and at least pull in some from treasury offsetting inflation. I would do one year as most likely you don't have a big...

Jesus did anyone catch that day where it spiked down 6 or 7%.. the options went loco crazy.. could only pick up a few, as I was "margin tapped out", some of these are damn ridiculous with like strike at 70 or 100 .... my next goal is to go buy a Tesla with TSLA puts..

silver, how do you keep margin at near 0 if you keep cash to side to cover a exercise? wouldn't this factor in like a leverage of 5/1 or what I'm saying is bringing your margin down to 0 makes it that you over extended yourself not being able to cash cover the shares if the puts go ITM??? what...

Thanks guys. Think I’m settling with just long Apple stock. And sell some covered calls far OTM. I use to play around and have never hit ITM when I don’t want to. I want to keep Apple stock and in the event it gets called well then I lost nothing really. Seems the easiest and I still...
