Maybe I can say the following. Imagine you stand at a crossroad. Previously you were walking down a path. Smoothly. Everything went fine, you were a good trekker. You were happy. Then u see 2 pathways in front of you. You stand there, undecided which path to take. As you look closer, one...

Hello.... I just read the part of Napoleon Hill book 'Think and Grow Rich' about the s.e.x transmutation and developing a highly developed s.e.x nature. (chapter 11). I have found his book to be a good read, and presented in a unique style. However regarding this part on sex...

This is what I think... There is a way to gain some benefit from OI. You can interpret OI. Big OI numbers are at meaningful strikes. In the options chain, you wont see big OI at random strikes. Therefore to find meaningful strikes, see big OI numbers. These meaningful strikes signify...

Hi, what exactly do u mean by forgetting your trades and wiping ur book? You do know that when options expire, ur positions will be cleared, right? Or maybe u can talk to their online help rep abt it.

In fact if you can program it, I think u can take this black bar and then run a signal/ indicator on it. But I'm not sure this is necessary, just naked eye will do.

I guess the question is, could someone predict the shrink/ growth of that MACD black bar, right? Is this so, first poster? I think u just use the same principle, like what we all use in anything. Follow the trend. If there is a narrowing/ lowering of the black bar, then there is a higher...

Hello.... Could I ask something..? How do u all determine that a drop is a newbie panic? And, what is the difference with 'correction' as opposed to 'newbie panic'? What characteristics set them apart? And finally, what has to happen for you to 'buy the newbie panic' ? In all cases? Doesnt...

Actually during that time, seminars on options in my city/ country were very rare, they started spurting like mushroom all over in a short time. Prior to that, almost none. So it was a new thing. During that period, almost every once in a while there would be a seminar ads in the newspaper...

Actually, there is a way. Get a mentor. Really, Im not being optimistic or think in theory. This worked for me. That's how I first started. In fact that's how I first even thought of, or wanted to, become a trader. It's because I met an experienced trader, and got to know him as a friend. Then...

In fact I suggest give him something totally unrelated to trading. Trading is already taking up a big portion of his life, and it's his career/ his job. It's work. It's good to break away from that. If you give him a book on trading, for example, oh no....trading again....same tired old stuff...

I got INTP too from that test....amazing? Architect Rational. But....crap, I dont want to be an INTP. I want to be more extroverted. It must be this trading thing making me worse.

What I know is, warrants are like options, but they are written/ issued by institutions, such as banks. For example DeutscheBank. Sometimes the company itself might issue the warrant, for instance GOOG might issue warrants on itself. But the thing about warrants, when compared to options...

About the deep ITM...when expiration comes, a deep ITM will surely be auto-assigned/ auto-settled. I guess you know this. Im not sure what you mean??

Ohh....you're absolutely right......then there won't be any reasons to exercise before expiration? Unless if the remaining time premium is sooo small, smaller than execution costs of selling it and buying the stock? Btw what do you think about very deep ITM options having higher chance of...

Why? I cant figure out what's wrong with the logic that they sacrifice remaining time premium instead of selling, and I would imagine a possible reason could be intended stock ownership. Tell me.

Ohh....thought of an idea.... I guess since a deeper ITM option has less time premium than less deep ITM option, so probably there is a higher chance of it being exercised/ assigned, because the buyer will sacrifise less time premium. Theoretically. Don't know how significant or real this...

Only American style options can be exercised/ assigned before expiration. An exercise/ assignment cannot happen multiple times. An excercise/ assignment before expiration is on the initiative of the buyer, for whatever reasons. Mostly of course buyers do it when it's In The Money and...

Hello all... When you want to go into that path, beware not to fall into the force of darkness. Meaning, in this world there is only 2 sources of supranatural powers, one from God, and the other from the Devil. If you want supranatural powers, just pray and get closer to God. If you...
