Yeah, I'm glad the futures behaved overnight exactly as I hoped they would be. NDX didn't gap down or up... add to the fact that I woke up late and as soon as I realized O SHIT!!!! I think I flew to my laptop or something ... Alls well that ends well...

PHEW!! GUESS WHO MADE SOME MOOLAH ? hehehe o man what a relief!

now what on earth is a home made indicator? Falcon, in TOS, you dont need to go through the bid/ask business for each individual contract for a calendar. Simply select "Calendar" from the spreads drop down menu at the center top. Choose the appropriate combination of months (you wont need...

I made a mistake by not locking in the 60% of expected profits before the midday rally ended and began diving. I always forget Ib pattern day trader rule. But the reversal and late rally in the last 30 mins gave me some hope. The reason I said I didn't like the upswing was because it could...

I could pull a ForexForex here and say it was only a paper trade. Haha! Mind you, I can take the loss tomorrow morning. Only a couple contracts- break even is at 2719 ish...

Not liking these 10 minutes. Nope! Not liking them at all!! LOL!!!

Looks like I'll be safe for a while. Off to a quick workout. It's kinda fun being in school and being able to trade and have all these gangsta traders hanging around here and learn quite a few. Hopefully come interview time I'll be able to use some stuff I've learnt from here.

Currently have an 2700/2725/2750/2775 NDX condor expiring today Will see how that plays out. Hopefully the price won't jump beyond 2750 or below 2725 tomorrow morning. I HATE that open price calculating blah blah yada yada bullshit. Why can't they make it like the SPX with same day...

For Calendars in TOS, pick "Calendar" from that little "Spread" box on the top middle of the options orders page. (I'd use the Desktop Version). You will now see the strikes change to Calendar Spreads! Atticus is referring to the weekly march option expiring next week and the april...

lol @ crooks If you were a marketmaker I'm sure you'd do the same... I know I would.

Take the profit Then leg into another spread for tomorrow's weekly expiration if you think you can squeeze something extra..

Fuckin A+ for the second sentence. Absolutely hilarious.

Yeah, why is Ryan quiet? Is he a student like me? I have exams so I haven't been posting much. Hopefully he didn't get wiped out with something silly... he was having a good run. I'd say he's had some personal s#it come up.

So much for being bearish on aapl...

I let my deltas go batshit crazy on AAPL. Mind you I do have a smaller account like Ryan so I can't hedge that often so Im very very picky with my credits and debit trades...

SPY is American Styled

Depends what your goal is too. I like credit spreads so Weeklies on SPX are quite profitable from that point of view and if you do hit your short strike you aren't in the risk of being assigned. I just hate being assigned stock. Pain in the butt! As for wide-bid ask spreads, I find a couple...

If you're calculating volatility of the asset then you don't need to factor in anything. You have the price series, the period over which you wanna calculate the volatility and that's it.

Kudos Ryan! Keep it up!
