thanks isn't there some kind of trading contest coming up soon-- in the last issue of "Trader" I thought I saw it ? check it out >>2006 World Cup Trading Championships (in January TASC Mag- page 3) - actually a firm out of Chicago is running it --- only -- no options division- only...

start the engines - HUM closing in on measuring objective preparing to enter short - via short calls/puts - or underlying - but gonna sit tight , keep it on radar screen and see if "they" can mark it up nearer to 59-60....! plan is to open the position in the upper 50s-60 and trade it...

going to cover AAPL if it trades at/near 73.20 - for a day trade- and next time - will look to do more size ! Since I have been doing options for so long - prior to the amended rules for day trading-- I am not accustomed to utilizing day trading 4/1 BP to intra-day trading- Next time I...

AAPL short 400 AAPL (avg = 74.70) short 6 AAPL Jan 75p @ 3.20 still short (ratioed) Jan 67.50p/long 6250p long 4 AAPL Jan 80c @ 1.05 (looking to spread with Jan 75c)

today's APOL low was a decent entry-- however it could still trade < 60 at which time it might be a higher R/R to take shot on the front month calls-- looking for APOL to trade back to 62+ - but why buy the front month calls at that point and face expiration pinning/arb pressure unless you are...

CME long 4 CME Jan 370c (avg 5.2) short 1 CME Jan 360c @ 10.20 1. lift 360c and convert to bull vertical -- selling 380c depending on CME action - and premiums, or 2. sell 3 more Jan 360c

Quote from Multioption: PD and several other stocks are on my radar. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the 155 puts I mentioned in my Journal went up 3+ today (PD MK) I think you can get long calls on PD at some point today or...

the 155 puts I mentioned in my Journal went up 3++ today (PD MK) I think you can get long calls on PD at some point today or tomorrow- do the ITMs also - look for an entry in NTES - I suggest buying a straddle or strangle- I am long a 60/55 diagonal strangle and have spread both sides...

HUM on radar for short entry - "hoping" it sees 59-60 - to enter :eek:

PD in IRA long 6 PD AI (Jan 145c) entered @ 7.50 TIGHT stop only reason = playing the gap lower (from this morning) to fill or partially fill tomorrow or Monday - thus a TIGHT stop as this stock is very overbought. Notice how it almost filled the small gap higher from...

PD buying 6 PD AI @ 8 (IRA) 145c looking for gap action - tight stop

PD sold 6 PD MK @ 5.80 (didn't get the top price- but timing was impeccable - thus I feel confident I will be able to succesfully trade PD -- all year) + 960 well done will look to re-enter--- as my bias is this stock gets hammered this Q - if it wasn't an IRA- I would...

most/many brokers (i.e. IB) allow: 1. directional trades in options (buy put/call) 2. sales of cash covered puts (naked) assuming sufficient cash to meet margin 3. covered call writing 4. Futures trades Ask your broker/custodian or log onto their website -- Ice :cool:

---- are you that same sharp "elitetrader" who recently posted the following??? -------------------------------------------------------------- Quote from andrasnm: why not put $4000 of your cash into a ROTH IRA and the remainder of the $1000 as next year contribution? Do you...

I agree totally... !

really didn't want to put on more trades - so missed a golden entry on CME this week -- ever notice how some eqiuities you are just in sync with?! CME is is one I seem to do well with all the time. Maybe its because I'm living in Chicago? :D:D:D So the bad news is --- I missed an...
