joining the rest of the "usual suspects"

OK then

LK S , are you sure you know what you doing ?

I backtested some neutral ideas on weeklies even before they started trading. The results were very good , but when I saw the real ATM b/a spread ... all "profit" was gone.

O , you are my hero , thanks a lot

I actually making more money now. Couple of days ago I closed most of the big winners (components FOTM for 5-10 cents) and all original DIA puts (113 strike) and reopen 116 (then ATM) to hedge the five remaining ATM components.

at first glance I thought I'm reading erotica : "she takes on the other side " , "spread widens"... Just kidding , Mo , very helpful post

is it possible to set Conditional Alert to entry Sheet ? When cell condition=True , can Sheet1 tab change colors or start blinking ? TIA

Can we call then 1220 a "Support" ? If yes , i will move it to top ten

Swan didn't make(was #11) it into top ten together with "Support ", "Opportunity" and others , lol

my top ten "words to be used the most over the weekend on ET" , no particular order : 1. Monday 2. Bears 3. Taleb 4. Black 5. VIX 6. Sigmas 7. PPT 8. Longs 9. FED 10. Margins

someone beat you to open the PPT thread , lol

Last qtr SHLD posted earnings without previously announcing the report day (hence , no history of spike), so no reference to how high its can go. It did moved 12% , so current high (maybe higher ?) vols are justify. I might short it on the day of report :all those lucky bastards ( who ? Me ?)...

no , the activity was 3$ dividend related ( make sense for all those ITM calls) , I don't know how to play those. Yes , NUE up big in last 2 days , I don't see any future events except of 2:1 split. Thanks , B , I will follow NUE

not IQ. Yes , I store it in DB on the EOD bases.

you can define a "Current Month IV" field , then you can plot it regardless if its expired. That's how I do it , anyway.

out with 3$ profit per straddle , vols at 48 now. Most profitable 38 minutes of trading ever for me.

I was able to buy SHFL May straddle first thing this morning for 26 vols(!!!) , they just announced the earning date > 5/18. Watch the IV goes to the moon (already 32 now)

agree. On the first day of such an unusual activity , you should set some flag like "status = Open " and move the stock from universe to WatchList . IMO

wow , looks excellent ! But how do you know if transaction was "To Open" or "To Close"? That's what stopped me of doing this project.
