Right..IF you had a regular Aug option not the weekly then yes it would be still profitable. No opinion on FB however looks like it might be lower this am. Still if it were me I'd be closing and taking the very small loss. If you still like FB then re-establish a Sept13/Aug1 30ish calendar...

Interesting and thanks for the response.

hi Ztradez, I've read/heard that trading the 2 and 3X shares were best done only intra day. Why do you chose these over the ES? oh and good luck on your trading/journal.

so those of you trading oil...give me your best guess...oil in the next two weeks...up? or down? (from today's close) TIA!!!:)

oh..... Aug 9th..I thought you meant the reg Aug exp...in that case agree its best to close now. You do have better rates with IB..I'm with TOS but have cut back trading regular options since their commissions are so high..Trading Futures Options and looking for a second broker. I try to...

No trades in the last two days? Some decent action.

The market has a "heavy" feel to me, like this could be a sneaky down day...HOWEVER the vix has barely moved to the upside so I stay :confused:

If your rolling it up you are taking on additional risk. It doesn't usually work for me, so I tend to keep the same strike if I roll it out. You have two more rolls available as well. What will eat up your profit is the commish. I did not see that there were 26.5 calls in August ..is that...

since FB has weekly options you can certainly roll the short call into next week to see if it does settle down. However based on todays opening prices it looks to me as if you still make money if you close the trade.

Agree with noregrets. I don't know how old you are or how much time and effort you are willing to commit to your education but it takes a LOT of time and commitment to learn and many hours of hard lessons to understand options. I'm assuming you have the basics regarding stocks and a little...

nice call there cdn..:)

Due to the markets uncanny ability to know exactly what my positions are....I'm predicting an ES close TODAY of 1680...why? Orders out to short 1684 and long 1676...sigh.. hope everyone has been making a little bank on this move.

Multiple aliases are ok with me....it was the tone and attitude toward others..easy solution is that handy dandy "ignore" button. I don't use it often but when someone shows such disrespect of others it works. My vote is they give YOU back your original nick :)

+1 Count me as naive as you seemed quite sincere..NOT..a clown just having some fun at others expense. I read the journal section to follow progress and lessons of other traders and often come up with some ideas to try, so for me ET is not strictly entertainment. Entertainment SHOULD be in...

Future options do have additional margin requirements even if you purchase the option, this is because if you purchase a put you are considered to be long that instrument. If its an ES put and it goes in the money on the weekly, for instance, you will find yourself the proud owner on a long ES...

I didn't realize GOOG was reporting.... :eek: Bless its little pea picking heart...:)

Try it using an equivalent spx position. I'm not sure but I don't think their analysis tab is really set up for futures options. I think since futures risk is calculated differently...you should get a better answer from tech support. They are pretty helpful.

leaving a BTC at 58 GTC so I can go fishing....

short ES @ 67.25...not patient enough to wait...
