guys I've run across a very interesting and informative thread that I want to post on the Calendar Journal but don't know how to insert threads....also the last few pages (total abt 39) are from a very knowledgable trader who was doing IC's on OEX and SPX in 03 and had thoughts us credit...

consistancy is certainly a key:) by the way I have come across a calendar thread from 2003 that had some very insightful and valuable comments and ideas on calendars...I don't know how to attach it to this thread....can anyone help?

Sorry Norman....i couldn't get past the statement "my wife and I trade together" :eek: How long are you Married? just kidding...however when my husband and I tried to trade together it was a miserable failure...he finally gave up and let me have the reins and I'm doing much better going it...

anyone else suprised at the strong finish today? anyone short feb 1290:eek:

well...I actually did (just) get filled...1335/1350calls for .55 so may be you will too. There was hugh OI at 1350 so mine might have been easier to fill. This am i got only 1.15 for my 1190 but as Murray pointed out my 1175 is a wasting asset and since I've changed my bias (and got tired of...

However I haven't gotten filled on my call side. Thats even after offering .10 to the MM:( I'm going to go back to the drawing board.....I had just been feeling that March will be kinda up month given that we have basically gone sideways to slightly down this month. We could still go lower...

geez...thats what happens when I'm in a hurry...ALL CALLS were 1335/1350 and 1325...I have NOTHING in the 1200 range...sorry

Donna update...well haven't a clue but my basic mkt bias is to the upside..there are a lot of bears but bulls seem to be in control. Less fearful of a downside Have current orders...sell 25 1190puts at whatever the hell credit I can get:p....doing a 1235/1250 call credit....again whatever...

ok I'll go back to watching skating...and skiing

hey Ben..nice to see you've joined ET...I'm going to do the Chicago "thing" adv seminar for TOS in June and know you did it last year...hope you've been doing well:) your imput was very valuable to me

On CC's your exit strategy is really dependent on your view of the stock and where you think it might be in March. I have no opinion on the stock but face what you are facing quite a bit. If you don't think the stock will go up but probably won't go down then sure you can roll it to Mar. You...

next question...you have a 1$ credit so is there now a $1.5 risk (spread being 2.5) ? thx

are you still bullish?

Isn't TYC a B-fly now? or Iron Fly?

I don't mind :) although an occasional "hunk" pic would be appreciated by ME...but I think we need to take a poll to have you start a NEW thread on B-FLY's....how abt it guys and gals?

Riskarb I noticed that CME is just abt at the sweet spot on your second B-fly at 411...will you be closing tomorrow?

Come to think of it Murray...now that I have some profit pocketed...I guess I like to have some puts on the spx as an over-all portfolio hedge with so much time remaining until Mar exp.

Hi Murray...since I already had made 1.05 on the scalp today I'm leaving the 1175p (at least the 25 I have free) alone...don't really care if there is bleed...next downturn I'll sell against them again. edit: not Free as in "no cost" free as in single/unmarried:)
