The warrants are cheaper, yes, but not undervalued! Undervalued means mispriced! Don't forget about the bid ask spread! If you buy at 0.09 today and tomorrow the warrants are 0.09 bid 0.10 ask then your profit is zilch, cause you have to sell at the bid! This strategy is not bad or good...

My guess that 10% is arbitrary, just used as an example. Basically, it implies a 10% stop loss. E.g. stock is trading at $50, so 10% is $5. So if you are risking $100 per trade then you can buy or sell 100/5=20 shares. Historical price data on Yahoo is free.

Once again, unless you leg in, you will never get a fill on such an Iron Condor order as that means a sure loser for the other side! Btw, always make sure the options you are looking at are standard options and not adjusted ones, as in that case the normal pricing doesn't apply and there can...

Unless, you're legging in, you will never sell a 1-point iron condor for more than 1 point as that would be a risk free trade and there aren't any!

You should have questioned your broker about this fill!

Well, now they'll know.:D

You can never enter into a collar for a credit, unless you leg in or you're talking about a reverse collar, but then that credit doesn't mean the same thing. A collar is a synthetic long call vertical spread, aka bull call spread. So if your plan is to specifically purchase stocks to trade...

The prices are per put not per contract as 1 contract represents 100 shares. In order for you to make a profit the stock has to go up, if the stock goes down you lose money. It's a synthetic call - you make money if the stock goes above your breakeven at expiration and you lose money if it...

As the other poster noted, this is not level 2. In a different format what you see are the regional quotes, which look something like this: bid ask 2.5 (CBOE) 2.6 (ISE) 2.4 (ISE) 2.6 (CBOE) 2.4 (BOX) 2.7 (BOX) 2.3 (PSE) 2.8 (PSE) 2.2 (PHLX) 2.9 (PHLX) 2.1 (AMEX) 3.0 (AMEX)

ITM's are usually less liquid, which makes the bid-ask spread wider. That may be the main obstacle to daytrading KOSPI options. Time decay should not be an issue, but it can be. For example, on Fridays, sometimes even earlier, premiums tend to shrink towards the end of the trading session as...

Just to add to my previous post. Yes, you can trade them like futures provided you have some basic understanding how options move and what affects them. For example, although futures have basis risk, time decay in options is a lot more pronounced. Also, volatility has a significant impact...

Looks like nothing comes even close to KOSPI options - KOSPI options. I don't know how wide the bid-ask spreads in KOSPI options are, but usually wide bid-ask spreads are the main problem with daytrading options. Also, generally, in order to be able to trade options as a substitute for...

I wonder if any of them offer angel platforms as well!?:D :D :D

I agree with the view that when you trade simple positions like straight calls, puts and spreads then the knowledge of greeks is not necessary as it is easy to see where the risk is. However, when you manage a portfolio of options across different stocks, strikes and expirations then you can't...

Stock price by the strike price!?:confused: Well, this one is definitely not the leverage ratio, it just tells you how far ITM or OTM your option is. In any case, I'm not questioning your method, if it works for you then who am I tell you otherwise.

That's not true. With options you don't get 1 for 1 movement so in order to get your leverage you need to multiply the stock price by the option's delta and then divide by the option price.

Yes, cost of carry includes dividends so different yields would mean different cost of carry.

Is that the 17" laptop on the right there? I got just like that one with 17" widescreen.:cool:
