thank you thank you Gothert

I believe $GS is overpriced here. I'm not a vol gerbil so my head cannot understand overly complex things. Straight puts I get. Covered calls too. Calendar spreads are uhm....conceptually tough for me. Like calculus. I took french instead. So can someone please suggest a reasonably straight...

thank you - its such a blind way to fly...IB really aren't very good for shorting small cap...

Yes I have the SLB tool open but there's nothing I can see that allows me to initiate a request or number of shares I want...

I get this message "interactive brokers this contract will be available..." but I cannot see any way to initiate a short request? Is there a magic box I can tick off to get the ball rolling for a short request? any help appreciated...

Ah ok. I get it. The USD is basically the sun and all other currencies are planets...

Thank you - the CAD option brought up the futures. But when I tried to pull up USD futures I could not find it - is it another symbol....it really needs to be more intuitive lol

I've seen some top rank options traders discuss their methodology of capitalizing on volatility spikes. Some can be too hot to handle like the technology meme stocks. But others - like WEN and WOOF - when they spike briefly outside their normal volatility range; what would be some fast meat...

hi I'm using tws workstation with IB. I saw someone trade puts on CAD FOP Jul 16 2021. ((just a tweet somewhere - using a diff brokerage)... It's basically a bearish position on the Canadian dollar short term. How do I access these foreign exchange options in IB? Its a simplistic problem on...

Hi all. I want to do a combo order with 4 legs. But under multiplier (quantity) I have to submit it in 100 (or 1 contract). So when I want to submit 100/100/200/200 I cannot alter it from 100/100/100/100. The field won't allow for an edit...thanks

got it thanks

No insult taken. I'm here to learn. I thought the purpose of this strategy was to pick the highest to 1 call delta strike. So deep ITM. I also thought that the advantage of +2 yr leaps was that you could smooth out events short term like bad earnings while still collecting your near term...

Thanks again. "I'd prefer to be long the Apr 30 2100 Call" you mean the one that expires in 12 days? I thought the point of a pmcc was to get as close t 1.0 delta leaps as pssible. and When you say "If you want to be in for the long-run, keep repeating this each month." ... repeating which...
