was long QCOM Nov 42.50c sold at 3.10-3.30 (+120%) then sold short Nov 45C at 1.4-1.55 so far so good - not a bad swing trade BUT for some reason YESTERDAY I sold the 45 straddle -- in other words-- legged into the 45p near lows (ratioed more calls than puts luckily) AND got hit...

and THAT is my achilles heel (slightly more trades than may be optimal for top performance) ... although I'd like to think I have excellent patience over the past many years of trading. my major "flaw" is doing one trade too many example: QCOM

fur sure it could PB on Monday... thus... I am looking at possibly selling the front 30c -- however -- since I "believe/think" we likely rally beginning in early Nov (next week) and also "believe" VZ goes to 32.50 or above-- do not want to limit potential upside in Dec 30c > keep CVX on...

gonna sell Dec05 32.50c IF I can get .70 today--- doubtful -- if not then Monday I'll look for 1

+Dec30c (1.30) +Nov32.50c (.15) +Dec 32.50p/-Nov32.50p (-.10c) + @ 2.20/ - @ 2.10

will VZ see 32.50 as I said in earlier posts... or will they pin it back to 30. I am long Nov 32.50c/Dec 30c/short Nov 32.50P/+Dec32.50p looking to sell Dec 32.50c when/if VZ sees 32+ (or may sell VZ Nov 30c)

I thought you were doing options on VZ (the Nov 32.50p/30p) so how did you "win" . Stock is up 2% today

well said Ditto...!!! but if you read "uninvited_guest's posts on this thread -- HE is SURE about everything...! :eek:

IMCL Nov35c traded to .70 -

I think you need to beat to your own drummer.... and keep placing those market orders so you don't "MISS" any trades- LOL! Of course you imply that each trade you "miss' will be (would have been) a PROFITABLE venture frm the moment you entered. :D :D :eek: :eek: Thus we take it that you...

right now BRCM is at support... my personal 'view' is that BRCM will be pinned at or above 42.50 by Nov 21 but the Q is: will it first trade lower to near the $40 level, which means it trades and likely closes below its 100 day ema-- nearer to its 150 day ema which is an indicator I tend to...

so... according to you that's he ONLY reason for placing any limit order-- ---uncertainty about a trade? :D:D :D

looking to structure a trade in BRCM. It is at gap support right here and a "potential" TB at 42. IF it fills the gap from July 21 it will trade to 40 +/-. Today I am looking to enter Dec 40p. I will then 'leg' into Nov 40 puts as (IF) BRCM trades lower looking for a "free" trade, with a...

I think buying IMCL Dec or Nov -- 35c-- IF stock trades back to low 33s is a "do" as I think it will (could) trade back to 35-36 by 11/21st = calls would double + *stock hit 33.47 LOD **printed @ 32.50

"ALWAYS" .... 4 weeks or less for the ATM or slightly OTM"?? Not 3 weeks or FIVE weeks or 3 1/2 weeks. :D :D :p it 'always' is that way? Where did you come up with that? I have seen .20 cent options go to 2.50 in the last 2-5 of the expiry cycle, and that's post-2000. You gotta...

I also have a position in IMCL +Dec35c -Nov35c (sold premium near highs after selling my long calls yesterday traded from at .60c to 1.75). (.70 debit) -Nov35p (i.e. = sold 35 straddle) **ratioed 2/1 calls/puts +Jan 30p I posted IMCL on this thread a week or two ago...

uninvited_guest no offense bro... you sound like a rank amateur or some newbie who has no clue.... like guys who started playing poker last year or last month and miraculously become mavens overnight! :D Personally, I have read your disruptive posts enough already. IF you got something...

Bull call spread sounds like a 'do' to me only question is why use front month rather than Dec? by the way I did open VZ WV (32.50p) and Dec 32.50p, but also opened +Dec 30c and Nov 32.50c (@.15) ; planning on selling some Dec 32.50c today or next week, i.e. leg in to bull spread I may...

-- you can use the 30s also

VZ might trade back to 32.50 by expiry :D
