Larry, I do have a steady consistent thing I trade daily. I have traded (and still do) a mathematical based computer program signal generation for years and I even posted some live trades on ET in 2008 (Purely Mechanical Option Trading) and 2012 (Purely Mechanical Option Trading Part 2). Age...

Ok, I will start off first, here's mine for today. Here's some option data that makes you wonder, does someone knows something about LUV? Does Unusual Option Volume Translate into a Trade Opportunity? Date 04/22/2016: Company: Southwest Airlines (SUV) Option Symbol: LUV LUV160520C00047500...

I did this from the 1990's up to 2000-2001. Here is my reasoning for buying 2-3 weeks before a company announces their earnings: When you buy lower priced ATM (or slightly OTM) options that have 2 months left before expiration and you are limiting your total call/put debit (total cost of the...

CBC, its actually a good strategy to close out 1 leg after that trade has doubled in $$ and hold the other leg as long as possible, instead of just closing the whole trade out. You basically have a free trade at that point, so any positive gain in the leg that is left open is pure profit. I...

Let's get down to the real nitty-gritty part of option trading. The learning curve of option trading means your account has to survive while your learning. Capital preservation is the number one key that allows a new option trader to have longevity. Regardless of what trading strategy or system...

traderbiker, Here's a simple suggestion that eliminates all the legal problems and negates the worry over system knowledge: You need a signal service (someone that provides a trade signal without the knowledge of how it was created) that sends signals to an autotrading broker. 1: Have...

I have been off this month with Xmas stuff and the family, however I do get a day or two to myself now and then. An ET member recently PM'd me and asked if I thought these math based formula's and programs work with the QQQ options. My immediate response was, "probably but the trade...

"Now come on now PM, your at least a 9.8!"

PM, To me, it seems like your doing the same thing with stock options that Karen Bruton (i..e..Karen The Super Trader) is doing with Index options. She initially sells naked puts....if the position becomes troublesome... the economics of the overall trade is balanced out selling naked...

Don't make too much of that line, she was just kidding. If you watch the video, Karen and the interviewer were talking about how she survived the flash crash of 2010. interviewer: "lets talk flash crash may 6 2010?" " Karen: I was practicing my Spanish that day because I thought we would...

riskaddict, She has 5 traders watching things all the time on the SPX, NDX & RUT (although she said the SPX is her bread and butter) and they are all friends, so she may not need you...ha...ha. On the video she claims only 1 losing month in all of 2011 and 2012 to date. That...

I have watched both videos about a half dozen times. Here's what I got out of it: She says that initially she sells either naked puts, "or" naked calls and then just watches the "Probability Indicator" on the TOS software. She starts out initially with a probability of that put finishing...
