They are non standard options. They only equal 95 Shares instead of the normal 100 shares. They could be the result of a merger or spin off. The normal May options for AMD have not started trading yet.

Just noticed that someone sold a 2500 contract March 70 / 60 Put Credit spread for a credit of $1.45!!

Thank you guys for your insight, It is really appreciated. I was wonder do you have a normal target credit % you go for? Like in this trade, the premium was 35% of the risk. Had I gone for a Dec or Jan It would have only given me $0.20 or $1.10. Jan I would think is still ok because...

Hi guys, What are your thoughts on this trade? NYSE - Ticker (NYX) Sell a Mar 80 Put for 6.45 (delta 24) Buy the Mar 75 put for 4.70 (delta 19) Total credit of $1.75 Stock is currently at $96.00 Implied Volatility is much higher than normal at 60%. The volatility on...

This wouldn't work in the ISRG case because the March doesn't start trading until the Jan Expires (Is that correct?). Also, is there a way to do it with limited risk. I am still new to options trading and I am scared of ulimited risk. BTW: I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge

IV, So is there a way to play the vol spike of a WEBX or ISRG? Also, What is your target return of a strangle / straddle? Thanks

IV & MM Which month option is the best to buy when going long a straddle or a strangle? For Example: I have a company reporting 2nd week of Feb. I want to go long a straddle or a strangle in the first week of Jan because IV will rise from 30 to 70 between Jan 10 & Feb 10. Do I buy the...

Does anyone know what the "Model Price" for an option on Interactive Brokers represents? I am looking at CROX and the puts seem over priced and the calls seem under priced??? Thanks for any advice.

I use interactive brokers and they charge 2.40 (4.80) for a round trip. No Exchange fees. www.interactivebrokers.com

Where can I find the premium over fair value on the ER2. Programtrading.com and indexarb.com only give the other three. Also, who do you use for Russell Index. The one on IB seems slow to update. Thanks

I dont have Bloomberg to get the data. I pulled this info from Yahoo which excludes dividends but I think my formulas may be wrong. Q12 - I only mentioned 1980 as an example but the reason for my study is that people / authors, always use the best time period for illustrating their point...

Hi, I have read that return of the S&P with dividends reinvested is 7, 8, or 9% a year. However that depends on what year you start. I would like to know where I can find the yearly returns and then do a study of every 20 years, year by year. For example: What is the return if I...

Do you use Market or Limit Orders? I only use Limit orders but was wondering when you would actually use a Market order? I find every time I use a market order it gets filled at the worst price. Thanks

Hello, I was wondering where you all get your news from? Do you manually read Yahoo & marketwatch or do you have it streaming and if so from what provider. I currently use the news feed from Ameritrade Streamer which includes DJ News and PR Newswire but I am switching to IB and...

I now understand that prop firms don't need NASD membership because they aren't dealing with retail clients. Below is wording from EchoTrades Risk Disclosure page. Is a sub account the same as a sub llc??? <p class="border">A member should only invest risk capital in the...
