„Not worth the risk“. So you generally reject selling cash secured puts? I would sell an otm put to manage the risk of a stock decline. But I am aware of the problem if the stock does not rise. Your call loses value and you have to manage the csp. For swing trading you could close the call...

Guess you expect a stock to rise over the next weeks, would it be a good strategy to sell a cash secured put to earn premium and to buy a call to participate in the share‘s rising?

Usually i´m not a fan of buying simple call options but sometimes there are huge gains possible. On 03.31.2021 NVDA crossed it´s 50 EMA, so you could see it as a possible buy setup. At this time the 600 call (OTM) which expires today (04.16.2021) had a price of $1.29. Yesterday it closed at...

That´s right. I would only sell one put and not more on leverage. For me it´s already dangerous enough. I don´t need an extra thrill ;-)

Your comments were very helpful for me and sharpens my view on this topic. Does anyone of you trade simple long calls or puts? Or do you prefer trading without leverage? I mean buying a simple call on apple this week would have been a good idea, but I missed it. As an European if have the...

Right. Limit is the difference between the strike price and zero. But this is not nothing.

I´m only interested in the premium not the stock. Overall i hear buying calls or puts is a looser game because of time decay and implied volatiliy and the best way instead is selling cash secured puts to earn premium. But i know the risks if the stock drops below the strike price. Horror...

I have noticed some sligthly OTM puts with a premium of $ 8.00 or above on some stocks which are priced around $49 and a strike of $48. Would it be a good idea of selling naked puts on them? If it drops below $48 you could be assigned but you might have a cushion till $40 ($48...

I´m using TOS´Optionhacker. Do you think Barchart Premier is superior? Which features do you use? I ´m using Barchart´s free version additionally.

You can always sell US regulated options before expiration, no matter if they are otm

In IB´s Booktrader i created a buy button to send a limit order 5 cents above the current ask price. In the configuration i set "Transmit the order instantaneously". In Booktrader default size and buttons are "armed". When clicking on the buy button the order doesn´t get transmitted but instead...

Has someone experience with Sweepcast? A scanner for Unusual Options Activity. Right now i like barchart most. It´s for free and very clear.

"Outright: 5.00 index points = $0.50 per contract". Does it mean a gain of $100 if bitcoin moves up 1000 points (1000/5.00*$0.50)?

OK. Understood

This was very helpful. What does Nav exactly mean? What is the definition?

What about the 2% yearly management fee? Will I be charged with 2% directly after each buy?

With IB europeans can only trade ARKK CFD. This might be sufficent for swing trading, but what i diskike is the interest rate you have to pay investing in cfds.

I have 16 GB ram and had no problems running QT. Orders get executed instantly. I didn´t notice any delay.

I have no experience buying bitcoin yet. What i know is that you have not to buy one bitcoin but you can buy a fraction. When looking at the GBTC chart, you can see some huge gaps over the weekend. 01.08 -01.11, 02.05 -02.08. This makes me a little bit nervous.

Do you think it´s a disadvantage to invest in GBTC instead of buying Bitcoin directly because you can trade Bitcoin 24/7 and GBTC only at normal market times? When investing in GBTC you couldn´t react to events which influence the Bitcoin price over the weekend.
