Not to mention, he just replied on here saying he would be willing to change his annoying font.. that he could agree on such "requests". And then deletes it.

We also object to your large font. It's annoying. If you go back to regular normal font, we're cool. Simple.

It wouldnt be any fun if all we did was talk trade- we need someone to make fun of once in a while. Think about it. We need all sorts of people here- experts, novices, intermediates and downright idiots to make this a fun place to come by on the internet. If we banned FF, it would be boring...

Chances are if it stays or stayed around the $30 mark I could've made more as day progresses... but the problem is there's so many legs to deal with, I decided to suck it up and just keep the $1K in profits. In the past I would've been greedy and held on. So a win on the psychological front for...

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY wait till the last 2 mins and then closed. Was initially at a loss... now turned approximately a G in profits.. LIKE A BAWS SON LIKE A BAWS!!! EDIT: Cant get too excited here. I was kinda wrong on approx 50% of what I was hoping for... It could easily have been a...

My goal will be to prudently minimize any losses tomorrow... so i really hope it drops to 640. :D

The biggest mistake I made was not realize how elevated APR vol was... the weeklies.. fine... but I should have checked the APR vol I did enter the trade for a credit. Although my straddle at 630 is only 2 lots, it'll hurt me the most if vol really dives.

If I lose money tomorrow, just remember this was all a paper trade :p If I make money though, I called it like a pimp calls his b!tc#e$ out!

Yeah, misread that. But a a giveback to investors nonetheless? You got in on the Calendar? Wow, awesome! There's some profits in the morning waiting for you...

Yeah, looks like they were leaked beforehand... EDIT: THERE SHE GOES FLYING!!!! EDIT 2: I was watching this CNBC clip with all these experts and the host asks if GOOG would follow AAPL's dividend policy. And the bozo expert replies "NOOOOOO" And guess what happened... hahaha

This is probably more suited on a software thread, BUT I see IB quoting GOOG ATM implied at around 140 range TOS on the other hand quotes it at 100 ish For the monthly exp, both IB and TOS have similar ATM IV. What gives? Perhaps IB calculates based on Last traded price while TOS...

Here's what atticus is saying: ScottandMo has a short straddle. He expects it to mostly expire worthless (meaning he expects the straddle he sold at 640 to be $0 at expiration) What atticus is saying is that no, that doesn't happen in practice. So he shouldn't calculate his expected profit...

Could you elaborate more on that atticus? What does "go out around 1.80 to 200 on the neutral combo or 0.45 on the 5-wide strangle" mean? Lost in lingo here...

I'm one of those. :D

My apologies, you should also sell some elevated premium. So in case homie just decides to chill, you clean house with the IV just dropping like its hot... lol ... (listening to snoop as I type) It'll be easier on the margins too cuz you can get into more lots... And JUST in case the stock...

Did a little backtesting ... Back in Jan, the exact same conditions existed before Jan 19th earnings. Back then, if one sold the JAN monthly premium and bought the last of the JAN weeklies a day before the earnings (because the weeklies got listed on Jan 18th) the Short JAN monthlies would've...

Why'd you do the RIC? I would've just bought the strangle or straddle instead. Mind you the APR options will lose a lot of IV so initially, despite the move, you'll have a loss... If only you could see the graph.

For GOOG: I think I'll take some loss on the APR options... the vol seems to have dropped. Ill go long some MAY options I think. But I'm still unsure. I expect the APR options to drop some 20 vol points. But the APR weeklies which I'm short should drop about 40-50 vol points... it's quite...

the only thing is, you'll have to wait alomst till the end of trading session to make ANY decent profit from this trade (assuming you're trading the weeklies?) Here's a hint: Don't just look at the PnL at expiration. Everything that happens up to and before expiration is probably just as, if...

I was "hoping" that the short side's IV wouldn't rise as fast as it has done... the short options IV has risen 10 points today- totally beating the unholy hell out of theta. Had that not been the case, theta alone would've done the trick for me. Pretty naive for me to even hope so but lets see...
