Also, on a side note I am going to be decreasing my size from 100 contracts to around 25 I believe. 100 is too much leverage for what I am working with, that way I can have a little less stress in positions and won't sit there hoping losers will come back

Yea you are most definitely right, I have been setting aside money for him starting right after he was born. I am now debating on looking into finding a different job, I have a good secure job where I am at currently. But the pay isn't great for being the only one in the household working at the...

No problem. I sold at the perfect price on those puts, price reversed almost immediately after selling, I got very lucky on the exit. From what I could guesstimate based on the 15 min chart it might have been closer to a 30 cent move so you are probably correct in that it was more than 20. It...

My numbers could have been slightly off, that was an estimate on the movement I didn't actually check. I will attach a snapshot of the orders and exact fill times if you want to check the chart, the chart I can see at work only goes in 15 minute increments for anything prior to today so I can't...

Hey Atticus, I bought 100 contracts of the $31.50 weekly put on FCX for .45 I sold 11 contracts at .53, it was a partial fill. I cancelled that order so the market makers wouldn't screw with it just picking off a couple contracts here and there and waited for a few minutes and sold the...

I have a Dell Vostro laptop that I use for everything at home. Get one of their business laptops, they hold up quite well. Everyone says their support is great too, but I have never had to contact them. I could be wrong, but I feel like my Vostro doesn't have a lot of the issues you see with...

I am not going to be taking this trade in real money I just did it in my optionshouse paper account but what do you all think of this: Buy $26.00 put on VXX Sell $25.50 put Total debit of .31 cents at last look. Max profit of 19 cents. All you need is VXX to stay exactly where it is at...

Even has a built in flashlight haha, I actual bought her pepper spray awhile back, I would get her a taser also, but she has a hard enough time keeping up with the pepper spray...and her keys...and everything else she owns lol.

What are you trading Chuck?

Now that you mention it...

Haha, I am not really getting back into the options game right now. I just took a couple trades trying out some setups. But you are right on that size. I realized that today. I will more than likely cut back my position sizes a decent amount (about half) so I can feel much safer letting a...

Today I actually did have a temporary issue with a wide spread, if I had set a tight stop I would have taken a pretty bad loss for the day. Price reversed on me quickly and gapped about 5-10 cents two times and the spread was like .33/.41 which would have killed me. But the setup was still...

With $4500 today, I had the leverage of 10,000 shares or approx $315,000 worth of the stock at market value. I don't have near that in my account. I was able to make a $900 return off the $4500, and it took a 20 cent down move in the stock. You are correct in that if I had the cash to buy the...

I have taken two trades in the past two days, one each morning once I see a setup occur. Yesterday I sold WAAAYYY too early, I took a $350 gain instead of a $6000 one by about 30 minutes, but still a profit. Today I took a $914 profit after commission. I made it a point to hold longer as long as...

I don't really have one, I haven't traded this way since last year except for a trade or two. I haven't been trading anything right now, I have taken some time off to get more practice in and work on some strategies so I could have a better game plan and approach to everything.

I'm only joking about the gun. I would only pull one out if it was something serious and I felt threatened. And if I pulled it out I would only do it if I had every intention of using it.

Ill pray to Zeus to throw a lightning bolt while he is screaming at us lol

Well, if you think of it as a somewhat complicated instrument for leverage it's not so bad. Just don't hold long enough to allow the Greeks to affect you much is the kicker. Maybe I'm wrong though, seems to be getting a lot of opposition. But using options has never caused me any issues...

Lmao it would be easy to eliminate both of them honestly, but I don't think I will go that route. I will say I wouldn't hesitate to shoot as soon as one stepped on our property...but I would make sure they looked kind of threatening first lol

Thanks man, I don't want a law suit on my hands so I will try to go about it as best I can.
