You are right.

I would go with out of the money options based on the magnitude of the move you expect, the reward is much bigger than just ITM options.

Yes, but do you think it's good to buy weekly options? I think it's safer to buy options expiring 2 weeks further but the reward is a lot less then.

How will you guys be trading volatility next week? Let's share some strategies! buying weekly VXX puts when VIX is above 20 or 25?

Trend following still works, why wouldn't it? If you followed the trends this year, you made some good money. Anyone claiming it doesn't is saying bullshit.

How can you calculate what your option premium will be worth if stock goes up x dollar? Also, is it always like that or is it possible that the underlying stock goes down and the option doesn't move because of less volume? Next time it moves on volume will it go up much more then? Can someon...

My name is just the first random name that I could invent.

Last time I see a lot of normally liquid option stocks like TSLA SCTY and a bunch others that have very wide bid/ask spread, also option volume is much much lower than usual. From nearest expiry date to expiry date a month of, very low volume in the option chains. Any explanation for this?

The call option would have been worthless, the put option only moved a little bit more than 100% so i would have had a very small gain, not worth the effort i think. To profit am i right that one side of the straddle has to move more than 100 %? Correct me if i'm wrong

You are right, underlying was 143. And yes afterward looking at it, It's a strangle. I totally forgot about that. Do you think it would be more profitable if i bought a straddle at the money?

I had a small loss, so in fact this is just gambling by doing this? Seems to me that straddles don"t work. It's based on pure luck. You can get a good move or you can lose everything.

Expiration: 2 september 2016

Yesterday just before the close (earnings were released after close) I bought a PANW straddle expiration 2 sept 2016: Call 152.5 for 2.15 $ Put 132 for 1.65 $ Today the stock opened something like 8% lower. My call is worthless and my put was just breakeven, even a little negative and then...

Why? TIA

Hi, Anyone has a list of stocks with liquid options and that are traditionally big movers on earnings? Where can I find this? TIA

Yes I have thought about that, and I will do that. But for positions who are a bit larger I search for a good rule of thumb expiry date

Hi, What is the best expiry date to choose when swing trading options. (at the money) weekly is too volatile and dangerous, if you're wrong you're wiped out. a few months out, can be too far that the option premium doesn't move. What is considered as a good medium term expiry date for swing...

I usr rsi and cci but not in a way most people use them. And definitley not how they are described to be used.

No one can answer this? How sad

VIX chart on finviz shows 24,74 % rise in VIX, price is 15,25 $, on other sites VIX looks normal. How does this come? mistake in data from finviz?
