Sometimes it's better to be lucky than smart. But don't count on it too often.

I'll drink to that.

Good point GATrader. There are so many good low cost books and free webinars (OIC, CBOE, CME, 888options.com, Chartbenders, TOS) that there is no reason to spend the $3k right out of the chute. I wish I had more time to sit in on all that is available. Take your time, and be patient. Don't...

Some of us who have had the benefit of living a few more years than you realize that the value of an opportunity is usually more important than the value of a paycheck. I'm done. I'll let everyone else blast him.

Like I said: Obviously the product of a sick mind... I feel alot better about you now.

Sweet... Nice, neat and everything in its proper place. Obviously the product of a sick mind...:D But really, looks great. Alot nicer than the closet I work in.

It's got the OX logo in the background. Gotta figure out how to do it.

Hello All, Interesting set-up for HPQ on another thread. Front month IV for MAY 35C is very strong. FWIW http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=63020&perpage=6&pagenumber=59

Thank you all for the heads up. Looks like an interesting Calender candidate on the Call side. cnms2... I can't spend the time trading intraday, but i like the set-up you have. I didn't realize that was available on OX. Thanks.

Thanks UpTik. You're probably right about that. The system I had when I was at a prop shop wasn't too complicated. I'll look into it.

Definitely gonna sleep on it, work got in the way of further research. Thanks again Donna and VP.

:D I've worked w/dual monitors before and you really get used to the convenience of not having to minimize everything you're working on. As soon as I find a techie geek I'm setting it up.

My crytsal ball is sending mixed signals. I don't know. Since I don't know, what would you suggest I do?

Hey Everyone, I'm looking for some opinions on my next move here. 6 weeks ago I opened the following Cal spread: Bot 5 JUL/APR AAPL Puts at $2. Now, I own the JUL 60P's at 2.60 bid. The JUN 60P is 1.35 bid and the MAY 60P is .60 bid. Would you sell the MAY and/or JUN 60 puts, or would...

If you're close by, I suggest you just drop in. The last one I attended I just walked in without anyone checking to see who I was or if I paid. I had paid and registered in advance, but nobody checked. There may be seats available when you get there.

WTF??? :confused:

Yes, it was APR/MAY. s/c/w?

Bot the SPX 1310C cal <30 days out at 8.80 net and sold the spread when it was ITM for 12.20 net :mad: Was an expensive debit, but percentage wise it worked out. Shoulda/coulda held it longer.

Was the 32.5 a Put or Call cal? RC's? You're right about being "too right" about direction. That happened to me a couple of times. I'm starting to experiment with Cals on indexes. So far I have had more success writing them on SPX than I have had on SPY or Q's. The ETF's lose vol...

Hi Donna, The MAY 35 Calls are left at .40, will most likely sell them Monday. I closed the Put spread at a $40 loss including commish. Had 14 spreads going into exp. Worked most of today but will tally up in a few days. Overall lost just a little $, but I believe the tuition was worth...
