I also felt the ET board was a little quieter, but I thought that's because people are busy recently, and there is nothing to talk about anyway. Previously when the market was choppy and sideways the market-top callers and their enemies were always fighting each other but now there is nothing to...

Somewhere in a quiet Chicago suburb. Year is 2006. Monday morning. 7 am. *ring ring* *ring ring* Heather opened her eyes slowly. The bedside alarm went off for a few more minutes before she pressed the snooze button. She muttered some swear words, then reluctantly streched herself...

Sorry what is ODI..? Original Data Interface..?

Hello folks, I had noticed a few times there is little options price movement for VIX options even though the VIX value can move by many percentage points. Is this casual observation also your observation?

Hi, Past few days, We've seen some action on world's equity indices, gold, commodities, bonds, currencies, everything is moving, The big boys worldwide are moving their money around and re-calibrating their asset allocation, aren't they. What do you think is happening exactly now...

For options to trade intraday to overcome the wide bid-ask spread you need conditions in favour of you such as enough price move, or little time value, or enough changes of the volatility. It doesnt work so well with so-so underlying which doesnt have enough of the above changes to overcome the...

I dont think it's illegal..... A broker at OptionsXpress told me also that PDT does not apply to cash account. If it's different practice from broker to broker, then perhaps ask first.

For options it's only 1 day. Today and tommorow.

Hi comp, You can sell in the same day as you buy, as long as it's a cash account. The PDT applies to margin account only. So for cash account, You can trade more than 4 intraday round trips in 5 rolling days, as many as you want actually, as long as you do not use recyled funds from...

For weeklies discussion: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=69102

Thank you for your kind efforts. Ill be following this thread.

Of course, hehe...just that my directional skills need further improvement Lol. Previously since last year I only took virtual trades with the weeklies ever since they're out, and only credit spreads Monday or midweek or Thursday. I find that single leg trading is much more...

As an example with futures comparison.... For a credit spread trade I did....it was on a Thursday...and I placed a credit spread on the call side, 1310-1325, during an intraday top when SPX was at 1314 or 1315 ish (this is late April). I got $4 credit, and watched as SPX slowly reversed...

I think, in terms of its unique characteristics...... Weeklies are the best options choice for intraday options trading. It is potential to serve as a proxy futures-like intraday trading, with higher leverage to boot. With the more ex monthly options, any intraday move will be blunted...

I have traded weeklies several times, the weekly SPX. I have traded credit spread, and single long legs. My experience is....... You have to be really really sure of the direction and the timing (I did directional trades) and have to enter at the right time quickly, and exit at the right...

Weekly options: Starting from sometime last year, weekly options were made available. So far they are the: Weekly SPX, weekly OEX, weekly XSP, and weekly XEO. Could be more in the future. The weeklies present themselves with interesting opportunites. For example, due to the...

Hi, Let's start a thread dedicated to weekly options. This thread is to discuss anything and everything about weekly options.

Hi, Does anybody here do the weeklies?

What deed? Anyway, melatonin also can cause dependancy. It's true. If you take it habitually you will be dependant and need to increase the dose. It's better if you just solve your problem psychologically. Just relax.
