what are the symbols for weeklys for this week starting today?

Why market makers are playing games in quoting bid/ask prices. e.g bis ask was 2/4. I put limit order at 2.5 Immediately bid/ask was changed to 2/3. Why do we have to haggle and bargain at bid/ask prices. Why cant they give prices which are firm for that moment? This looks like bargaining in...

Thanks Smiling and Optioncoach for your replies. At the moment I an selling naked puts on indices and futures. I only use 50% of my capital. Now I am scared that someday my account will get wiped out. So the quest is there what to do. I want to earn premium month after month and I am...

Smilingsynic Optioncoach I am going back to page 180 for your replies.Thanks for giving me the proper name about reverse calendar spread. Smiling- You said it would be better to buy Dec and sell Nov. Will this bring me a credit? Optioncoach- You have not explored use of calendars in...

Yes, you are right I am only trading YM, but what you are suggesting is a good idea, that it is better to draw channels on YM, but trade the ES ?(ES is the "traded market" in this context) As far as I am aware, nothing leads YM, so I have no idea how to achieve an effective monitoring of YM...

Thankyou all for your replies, much appreciated Mak, from your post I understand the following, please correct me if I am wrong, You draw channels in realtime, trades are based on this You wait for pt 1 and pt 2 before drawing the channel. You never draw a channel just based on pt 1...

I have learnt many things on Options from Optioncoach

Hi hypostomus Sorry, was this answer for me ? If so, I am charting YM 2 min. close enough to a 1 minute chart ? Thanks

Thanks for the reply, by delayed channels I understand this to mean not realtime, I don't have a problem with this, I understand channels are continually redrawn, or at least that is what I do, but how does one deal with the incorrect trades based on initial incorrect channels? These trades...

Hi I didn't receive any replies to my question, so I would like to ask again, any constructive comments appreciated, especially from the experienced traders (makosgu?, BA_Trader?) Basically I can draw channels, charts posted on this thread are said to be realtime but my channels don't...
