I was getting all excited this morning when C $45 atm contracts are priced around a dime in fidelity. Then realized they forgot to add a zero and i was all sad again...

optionsxpress is probably the best for beginner option traders, top notch customer support and easy to use web gui. interactive broker is the cheapest by far and most flexible in term of what you can trade, but it's not beginner friendly you are basically on your own. Search for some of the...

Shut the fuck up loser. vertical spread doesnt make it better or worse, you sac reward for bit less risk, and if the expectation is a gap/rubberband you dont want to cap the reward. Nothing wrong with this trade after 4 consecutive major gap downs followed by 1 sideway. I did the diagonal...

I suggest you look up delta + gamma with regards to pricing behavior first, it's option 101. Your statement is completely false.

delta for may 38P is .79 delta for june 33P is .43 for a net loss of ~.36 on every $1 drop in the underly. the net loss will gradually decrease and converge to a delta neutral hedge ("capped") after another $10 drop itm. So slv will need to goto $23 then your spread will be capped from...

Per your own screenshots. short straddle: 3.8 long strangle 2.1 net: 1.7 T+1 short straddle: 5 long strangle: 2.7 net: 2.3 Trying to get a max profit of <1.7 by may expiration, you lost 0.6 in a day. If the wings were further out, your loss would be even greater. I am not...

Take it easy with your after the fact analysis. Where was your post when slv was at 48? 46? 44? .... oh that's right you were too busy making bullshit posts about obama and osama. It sure is "common sense" calling a top from 4 days ago, after slv drops 30%..

down another $2.3, slv is now sitting on a raising 50ma. Should at least be a short term support, time to get a little bullish. I wonder if they will take this below the support first to flush out the weak hands. $10 drop in 4 days, fucking a!

That's nonsense, FF never had a losing trade. If the trade goes against him, he doubles down, if it keeps going, he applies martingale(paper money has no limit). If all else fails, he edits the post and flip the direction. I wish the old sbux thread was still around from a few years back, it...

may atm 40 straddle is ~$4. slv moved that much in a day. short slv straddle is suicide. i am long 40P calendar and 44C fly (opened when slv was around 42), will look to close the calendar tomorrow morning, cant get a connection on my stupid iphone when it touched 40 today.

nothing wrong with trading on the ship. sitting on your balcony facing the ocean with beer in hand and a laptop/ipad, occasionally looking at the hotties walking by in bikinis. Of course scalping is out of the question lol. They have wifi, but it's not so good. There really isnt much...

I would think the death of bin laden elevates the risk due to possible retaliation by his supporters. The us government seem to think so as well. Bin laden has been nothing more than a figurehead for years, i wish killing him would magically cause the demise of al queida, but you are living...

does anyone know what's going on with the recent weakness in dba? with a weak dollar I would think agriculture commodities will do good. have this in my ira for a long time, havent really been keeping up in this space.

who is buying the may 167C? the otm limit that's been traded is around 145. what the hell are you talking about again?

sp500 made new high, silver gapped right back after bencopter's release. market kept on rolling it seems.

bought 500 bucks worth of weekly 1320P on es mini as a lottery towards closing. market fully expects bencopter to continue support liquidity and weak dollar. if his remarks deviate from that should cause a drop

why would you not get paid if they go bust? your counterparty risk is not the companies you have short position on.

that's right it was historical, you are an option trading god forexforex, dont let anyone tell you otherwise.

man that was a good call, the actual is deadon to your prediction.

this debt culture has little to do with obama, but usa as a whole. The only way out is to gradually inflate the dollar while stop adding new debt, we just need all the debt holders like china to stay put while we make their dollar holdings worth less. It's doable as china has a large trade...
