What he said. Bone knows his spreads and does so across multiple products. Worth your time.

Although in theory it sounds like a good idea. It won't work. Raising margins only hurts the small traders & not GS or any other institutional heavies. Does Bolling even still trade? Hey, God love him for being the trading success that he is/was. But, I have to wonder if he would still have...

Lots of good things to say about this stock. & yes always a line when you go. Buy, like I said before. Just have to be patient. Could be weeks or months. But, this stock sooner or later will have a reverse in direction & momentum. Nothing floats this high (even if it goes higher) forever...

Engine, there should always be a strong list of reasons for shorting such a strong stock. But, you sized it up. It's just a burrito place.A burrito place with a $14B market cap & trading at high multiples? I'm not short yet, but in the context of this bull run, $442 share price looking...

Let me start by saying this stock printed a 52 week high on Friday. This forum maybe a tad premature. But, is anyone sizing up this one as a potential short if & when the S&P rolls over? Because as good as a company as they are, hard to make a strong case for another 100 pts to the upside in...

Obama is trying to drum up votes from the middle & working class from this clipped portion of his speech. He playing politics, which I don't agree with, but the starter of this thread is playing politics by claiming Obama said that capitalism never worked as well. It's all election games...

But at least make him put you on hold to get an absolute answer. Not every guy who picks up the phone over there can speak competently to every product class. Mostly they all know equities. Some better at futures, others options.... Spot FX they will transfer you. Ask 'em if your margin rate...

Funny you ask. I was sniffing around for reviews on Peter Hoadley's products of hoadley.net. Option trading isn't main focus at the moment as I'm pursuing other approaches. Price is inexpensive & product is excel based. I was never quite happy with my current means & methods for analyzing HV &...

Also not seeing weekly expirations on this stock. IB earliest expiration is April 20th.

Thanks for feedback. Looking into trade. Have never traded weekly expirations before. Worth a shot when opp presents. & I guess the spread can only be 1 strike or 5 points apart?

FOSL - on 52 week highs today. Chances are stock will go higher. If I was looking to trade the June calls is it even worth to the spread them against higher strikes? What's the best way to play the continued upside in this or any strong stock? Thanks J-law

What's the story with Alpari? Yes, I know they sponsor the forum. But, how do they rate? Good, bad, Oooogly????

Talk to Bone. The chap knows spreading, including EUREX & LIFFE products, backward & forward. He can prob give you an answer.

I wasn't aware that conversions or reversals were in use anymore. They were a great way to sidestep short selling rules in equities 10 years back just lift the stock leg & u were in business for intraday trades. Guess even with all HFT shenanigans that there are still mis-pricing to be...

Just watched tonight's world news on DVR. Yes, Israeli/Iranian tensions. Yep, up. Wondering how to trade it. Long vol in crude is usually an expensive trade.

WTI Crude IV by measure of the CBOE OVX has been upticking from the beginning of this month from a 2/6 low of 30.11% to almost 35% today. Spike is probably coming. Direction? Anyone's guess... Although I am inclined to be bullish. WTI calendars have bottomed out & Brent calendars have broken...

Looks like AUD.NZD rejected that 1.2900 value area & has rolled over 1+ handles. Looking to test 1.2800 as of this writing 20:10PM EST.

Hey guys, product question... I understand that the VX futures underlying is option pricing based. What does that mean for short gamma risk if your selling The futures on a vol sell off? Is is mitigated or is it just buried in the product somewhere? Thanks

Ghoulie, Thanks for th spot FX math lesson. It's very much appreciated. As always, I am trying to ever expand my realm of products to trade. Thanks again. :) J-Law

Ghoul, How ya doing? Im still missing it. Added & subtracted them. Still "in the dark grouping around for the lightswitch." :)
