if you don't mind me asking, what broker are you with? is it one of the Canadian ones? if so, did you put in the order yourself through the web, or was it a broker-assisted contingent order?

I didn't realize that... I thought positive theta was a good thing!

thanks for the info donnap, that makes sense is there anyway I could take advantage of that?

thanks for the info the b/a spreads suck, and the commissions don't help... :( I've posted a picture with today's analytics. SC Closed at 43.99 (CAD)

they're American style Shoppers Drug Mart puts on the TSX symbol SC October puts. thanks!

I see, I'll try to find some info on it then... thanks!

hey, yeah it is actually, delta ~0.99 - 1.0 I didn't know that could happen. I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation, it just doesn't make sense to me at this time though.

Worst case, you lose the money you put in.

I've got a spread expiring this month, and one of the legs is a long put, and according to Td waterhouse analytics, it's long theta.... Wtf? I'm only talking about the leg, not the positon

Wap, how long you been selling them for? Btw if your spreads have any long positions you're part of that "90%" (i'm not talking net long)

just in time for the holidays!

Cboe has a course that teaches this. I couldn't help but think that the broker is in on it. While it's tempting to roll down up in out... I remember the quote "bulls make money, bears make money, but pigs get slaughtered." if you can do this [/I] consistently[I] then all the power to you

Holy sh.t I am such a small fish.

Wouldn't you just buy back the cheaper vertical? ( the one that the underlying has moved away from) Personally I would close the position, unless I've misunderstood you.

I am currently short vega one of my butterflies however is long vega. The long put has delta of 100 and vega of 200, unsure why...

As mentioned above... Thinkorswim will do it all I'm from Toronto as well. Td waterhouse bought them so you can only paper trade for now. But in the new year they will allow new accts for Canadians again

Divorced marriage counsellor overweight personal trainer broke trader teacher people would like to model successful people he may teach well and that's all good. But to demand such a price, one should back it up with a track record.

thanks :p, that was funny actually. I know i can find it online, but I prefer books since they're more comprehensive and I find go into better details.

wow... where would I be able to read up on this? Does John Hull's book cover this?

Thanks.... Truly appreciate it.
