Yes, I'll watch your trades since CDN equities are what I swing trade as well. One of the nice things about CDN stocks, that are transposed with the U.S., is the gyration's are wider because of our lower $. Good luck :thumbsup:

Maybe take a look at whether you're ITM, ATM or OTM. The greeks, vol, and liqidity also play a major role in options pricing. And if all the above has been checked off, then the MM is under pressure to make more money.:banghead:

This book will give you the percentages for both sellers and buyers, on corporate earnings news. Some really good back testing was done by the authors. Excellent read. Bottom line, if you know what you're doing, both sides can make money.

I use Tax FRWY, Mac, for filing, with no problems. It looks identical to the printed forms from the CRA. The pic below is the header of a sheet done in Numbers (Mac version of Excel). I log after every transaction and it automatically updates running totals. It's copied from the CRA tax form...
