Very good, hier (pronounced higher).

miss-conception is a misconception. You didn't learn civil discourse in all that time? It's a hypothetical trade, anyways. The 2.8 fill is a long ways off with the option liquidity. GOOG and/or IV has to move.

Whatever - it coincides with the roll, anyways. It'll be time for Jan. contracts by then. From IB site: "Exposure Fees only apply to a small minority of IB customer accounts with unusually risky positions. Most IB accounts are not subject to the fees." I have never received the fee.

Roll the put (sell/buy) to a higher strike. You may want to sell an OTM call to offset some of the cost. This is one option - or just close the position - if you are satisfied with your gain and want to lock in some profit.

How I understand it is that there was no queue pre-market. At the open, MM's will have preference at their price levels.

Wow! I also just trade the charts, but now I see what you are saying.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. I don't blame you. I go away for a while, sometimes. The Dec. contract is the front month.

Yep, I have been watching all the way. Nice going, OP. I think that your premise of an uptrend has been justified. No big deal, but there's no Nov./Dec. roll that I noticed.

OP has been missing in action for a while, now. I hope that he just got sick of ET and is still trading the light fantastic. 100 degrees where I was today in CA. Talk about taking some heat.

The front month is December. Trading ends in November. December is delivery month.

Ein sehr guter Tag für Ihren Handel.:)

Well, let me explain. He said that he can make those kinds of returns for a .13% a month fee on gains. He'll do that, even though he could just trade his own account and accumulate all the money. OK, now I'm confused.

Well, there are quite a few around here.

Yes it is counterintuitive because the ATM has a higher TV. But the greeks are a snapshot in the frozen world of theoretics. Extrapolate time out to the last day of trading (or, perhaps sooner) in this frozen world. The ATM will still have considerable TV, while the OTM has reached a near...

My cat will sit and look at a gopher hole, sometimes for hours. I go about my business and look out the window and he's still there; seemingly in the exact same position. I've never seen him catch one; but I have found decapitated gophers on my back patio.

Yeah, I am. I know what you mean. It seems that 4am is about right on some days. It makes the swing trade more compelling. I have the luxury of napping during the day where I dream of 65 golf scores - and that's just the first nine.

The trade's not over. Indeed, win or lose, study trade management. I can tell you from experience - the long term oil swing trade is usually not an easy one. And it's not easy to post trades live. It can mess with your head. You see very few do it with price and even fewer with size. OP is...

Yeah, good job (so far), OP. You win this month's Sitting On Your Hands Award.

Yeah, sure you trade off of price, but the reports are usually areas of volatility. That's the information that anyone should derive from this. Some trade the reports, some avoid them; that's discretionary. It may not matter as much for a long term trade, but the timing is something to be...

I dunno. During the crash of late '08-'09, I expected INDU to fall to a level seen in '95ish. It didn't, but adjusted for inflation, it did. During this time, oil crashed, but the contango went crazy. I wanted to get long, but couldn't see paying a $20 (If I remember correctly) spread...
