Gaaaawd almighty! Ryan You are up 555% in your equity in a little less than four months. $1800 to $10,049. Man o Man! Well you give me inspiration for sure! I´m re-thinking some of the ways I am trading. Done some fine tuning on my system, but will have to increase the...

I´m running some stock prices and wondering if those with experience like Ryan might have an idea? If a stock price increases 1%, how much does an ATM option increase?

Heck Ryan Ur up to $9469 already since two days ago? Just no keeping up with you mon!

Well I´m back in the groove again. Trade yesterday exited today at 20% net gain. I only traded one contract, and regret now I didn´t do 10 contracts. But needed the re-assurance from a win. Next week maybe I´ll do 5 contracts? No more screwing around with things I don´t know...

Charting gamma is an excercise in futility? WOW! Arn´t these the experts telling me to do so? Must have been Don Bright? Anyway it was interesting. Especially all the snide remarks I got in the past six months from others on here, because I did not understand or trade Greeks. Now I...

I´ve been charting GAMMA over the last few weeks. At the insistance of the scientific GREEK traders. Kept recording first month, second month and third month, which I trade with. ( to eliminate THETA as much as possible ) I had also read somewhere that GAMMA will tell you when the...

Ryan Mid April? I believe I had done some figuring on that also. Somehow MAY stuck in my mind. But you are probably right it would start 2 weeks earlier. Well if you can stay out of the market until your earnings system comes back live again, you will do well. On the other hand, if you...

Man o Man! Got to get back to my basic. Last three weeks, I´ve been giving it all back. Switching now this week to my regular trading pattern. Been trying all kinds of things, and none really produced. Got you on the $8000 plus on your account Ryan. Congratulations! I have a June...

Ryan The shotgun killer of earnings options. Whats the equity balance you have now Ryan? I got a daughter interested in using your method. Behavioral trading.

In the meantime, I am holding two contracts 2 May QQQ -68- PUTS @ $4.76 Using my own method. Unfortunately I got in a little early on this and didn´t wait for certain qualifiers. So now I have a bet going down, but the market is going sideways. Which means the odds are not too strong...

Don Bright WOW! Interesting question Don. I must show my work. That comes under the heading of proprietory secrets. ( grin ) But I will go along, based on the premise, I´ll show you mine and you show me yours, to figure the odds on the unpredictable. In a same month of trading...

Right! I already did. Which is why I´m holding off. Too dangerous.

QQQ

:D Well! Well! Well! The rooster speaks. Good going Forex Forex. Just been looking at the option chain. Could do two. One for this week expiring on Friday and one for over into next week, expiring next Friday. A look at my indicators say we may actually be able to implement a...

Kinggyppo That was really nice of you to write that. THANKYOU. It has been a worthwhile 4 days or so. The straddle was old hat and I´m not at all enamored of the strategy. My intent was to try and learn the delta neutral adjustment strategy. Like any experts, familiar with their...

Atticus Yes I get that part. Lets say theoretically I want to sell a straddle short. As say a small retail trader with $5000, I´m wondering if the brokerage would reject it, as not enough margin, or something? I could try and see what they say? That would be one way. I just thought...

Well I´m closed out of my straddle and the delta adjustment. Both items minimum 1 contract testing trades. I ended up making $14 for all the work. That delta adjusting didn´t do anything good. Lost the commissions on that play. I think I´m going back to straight buying. Fishing...

Atticus I vaguely understand that. A straddle taken on the weeklies with the intention to let it expire, to earn the theta. Means SELLING the straddle. I am not clear on margin and stuff required to do this. So presume you have to buy a backup in an out month. Then you can sell the...

Ha! Ha! Ha! Talk about a dog worrying a bone. :D I tried time spead, or calendar spread with the weekly options on the selling side and the third month out on the long side. The weekly lost it´s THETA very fast. Went down to .5 cents. The trouble was the whole thing was in Calls...

Well my Pairs trade lost money. ( a paper trade trial ) My calendar spread also lost money ( a paper trade trial ) Only my cash long straddle, is making money. Not much, but some. I guess because it was non-directional. The other two were in Calls and the market went down. I...
