I agree that a 2600 option sweep should be normal for a medium company sized company like TEVA, especially given the fact that the overall transaction was less than 20k USD. However, probably the seller was an istitutional one, because the retail is not allowed to sell such an amount of options...

Very interesting, thank you.I understant that the pre-arrangement of a trade might be a sensitive topic, but may I ask your exprience on this topic come from common knoledge or is related to your work experience?

I would be very interested in understanding a little bit more on how selling option premiums is handled at institutional levels. I mean, when you see a big initial selling of a given option who are the players usually involved? Is it more often a single order order or it is combined with one or...

I was wondering if anyone would recommend any book or a resource on combined 'Stock plus Option' strategies. For istance, I am interested in strategies to hedge a long (or a short) big position on a given underlying. How many option do you need to buy (or sell)? Do you just go with a one-leg...

What is the rationale behind such a rule?

I apologize in advance if this is a FAQ, but I am looking for Times & Sales on US stock data from Over The Counter (Darkpools?) markets. Is this resouce available? Or these trasactions remain all completely uncleared?

I am looking for a list of the US stock borrow rate. I use Interactive Broker and I vaguely remember someone posting that they used to have one available for their customers.

Thanks. Your answer sounds right.

Sorry for being not so clear. Buy to open and sell to open.

I am a little ashamed to ask, but I found out that I don't have an answer to a very basic question on open interest. If buyer A buys 30 options from the market maker and seller B sells 15 contracts of the same option to the market maker, the open interest is +45 or +15?

I am a subscriber too and I can confirm that these guys know their stuff. As already mentioned, their custom service is very responsive and you'll get definitely a good support from them. All in all, I am a happy customer and I would recommend their service to anyone seriously interested in...

I know that several funds sell naked or coverer options. But are there funds that actually buy them? And how are they doing?

Are there alternative sources where we could learn about your work?

Unfortunately I missed the show. Is the podcast available?

One think I didn't have the patience or the timing to do was to follow his recommendation to close the position when it was down more than 40%. So, I often lost all my money. Anyway, now I am following my personal scanner, still with mixed results, but l hope too to keep improving what I get.

I was a subscriber too for a couple of months, then I quitted because I lacked the patience to follow step by step his input. Also, not all his calls were right. However, definitively the guy knows what he is talking about.

That's absolutely true. Even big shots may fake some action. Watch this very instructive video by Felix Frey: https://optionsgeek.com/podcast-episodes/fake-gamma-squeeze-with-tsla-put-options-dont-be-fooled/

Congratulations. We all believe you are a great trader: no need to post your account. However, what we are trying to understand here is how to discriminate between 'good' signals (the ones you posted) and the 'fake' ones, (like the one I posted). In my experience, the latter ones largely...

No. I buy the Times&Sales data from a vendor (iqfeed). Then, I scan them for unusual option activity.

I remember someone mentioning that sometimes out-of-money options are still being exercised, probably because of the reason to buy a considerable amount of the underlying shares at a fixed price. We also learned recently here the painful experience of a fellow trader being exercised because of...
