The other thing I'm learning about Cal's...its the "watching paint dry" category of options trading. While everyone else was on the rollercoaster of GOOG last week I was bored as heck!

any update Vol Pimp?

I now have two Feb/May cal's going and decided to update as both are now ITM WFMI 72.5 Feb/May currently stock is 71.50 and RMBS is 27.19 as I've been trying to formulate guidelines for trading on calendars need to look for 1) initial credit of abt 1/3 2)vols on near term higher than vols...

Happy to "Pay it forward":p I don't have the experience or writing skills that you coach and others have so whatever contribution I can make to our little group...happy to do so. again, credit where credit is due, as I've said I do look at Helene Meisler who writes for "Real Money" (which I...

thx mo....ok Donna ALERT filled on Mar 1175(at 7:33 MST) for 2.20..overly generous to the MM:p (single....legging in later) have an idea I've been working on will expound tomorrow when I have more time...gotta run

I have NO analysis for xeo but your right the 585 does look rather close...right now 40% prob of exp itm...looks like you have a handle with the 570 bull put...sorry but have no good suggestions...

mo...do you not have TWO 1275/1280/1285 's...why?tia

Its a toughie Heather...on one hand your right it seems unreasonably high.. (the RUT).many ppl are saying it should not keep going up. Also I checked from Dec exp to Jan exp (5 weeks) it went up 21 pts...to 704...so the likelyhood of more than double that in a 4 week exp is probably slim. On...

Hey...we BOTH could win on that one:p

straddle or strangle? almost 20 pts above today? very bullish I guess...my cal is Feb/May 72.5 and I think it gets pinned at 72.5 in Feb (I hope:) )

on a more serious note have you lost your max on MO? why not just take the partial loss or roll to March you can watch what the ITM options do...from a distance!

LMAO:D:p:D...too funny!!!

I thru on a candidate WMFI into my paper trade account (a few days ago)...i have a put calendar (for real) however its not great (as a candidate) as earnings are going to be reported next week so the vols should continue to rise...also it looks like insiders/market think reports will not be so...

as coach says it is definitely personal preference, and how big a margin cushion you have or leave for yourself. If I think my shorts may come under fire then the 5 or 10 pt spread is more manageable because the long strike will have decent premium. If you have a 15 pt (I've even had a 25pt)...

TS thread moved to "retail firms"

obviously coach has expertience with TS but you might want to check out the comments currently posted in the Trading forum titled "Tradestation" (if you haven't already.)

That was a great credit (.85) credit on that sucks this am...I'm going to have to look to leg in later this week...I think..(according to "the chartest" we will be overbought Fri/Mon").....RD I'll send an "ALERT" when I do :p

He is a real sweetheart...I assume he favores his mom :D
