It's a little known fact, but soros tried to pull the same game he did on the hongkong dollar during the asian crisis, it was working too but got the attention of the chinese govt, they basically said cant let a few investor do this shit to a country, and put the chinese govt behind it and wrote...

what's a good ticker to trade the chinese yuan? anything?

and? If for example you have 5 ic 5 fly 3 verticals etc.. it's much easier to add up the gamma, vega, and theta to give you the overall snapshot of your position then trying to figure out by looking at the combos. IB has this feature as does tos. Still dont know what you are saying have...

technical is a bull flag formation after it broke 164 lol, and it closed on a full bar with no retrace. Insanity!

geez they have a book for everything. This wasnt about daytrading options at expiration, more about if you already have a position on expiration day, how to determine when to close it for max profit if the underlying is close to atm. interesting book though, i just ordered kinda curious...

i think atticus is just offering a better alternative to buying puts straight up if you are bearish, and not making a call per se, i guess he can clarify himself. The combo is long vega and bearish with max profit if aapl drops to 280 and/or IV pop. Less risk than buying puts straight up...

hmm does he mention why that is the case? do you have a link to the article, google didnt help. thanks

according to the bid and offer on IB software....

What does this have anything to do with what I posted?

what a loser.

Is there certain logic to how the option are priced on expiration day? Give an example, last friday I had some nflx 165 weekly calls and was monitoring their behavior all day at work with the iphone, they kept their value for much longer than i expected. At around 2PM, the option was ~$1-2...

take your position, get the sum of all the greeks, then look at the p&l graph at various price pts with a time and iv slide and you have the complete picture and done. Doesnt matter if it's a condor, crane, dragon, or tiger. Trying to find rules to plug dozens of combos with fancy names to...

Management fucked up, they paid way too much bonus last year. I couldnt believe what some of my friends got over there, they couldnt either. This year's bonus supposely going to be "signficantly" less. Most of the big banks isnt so hot right now, bac is a complete mess, just had a layoff...

most of you clueless mommy basement rednecks should becareful what you wish for. This is getting a bit serious, china just made a solid move, the ball is now with the US, if those idiots at washington escalate the currency issue further, the situation can deteriorate pretty quickly, then we...

so every family can have their personal god? That's kind cool, I pick Stewie Griffin as the deity for my family.

That's only part of it, mostly it's arrogance - the feeling that there is no need to explore and make contact with the primitive nations over the sea when china was #1. So the largest(in history) and most advanced navy at the time was grounded and quickly dismantled. And i think china had a...

Agree on the usa/india shared threat vs china. But people keep bringing up democracy in india as some sort of advantage/positive. The indian version of democracy is one of the main reason why the country is such a shit hole and nothing ever gets done. They took american democracy, stripped...

Why india will not overtake china for a long time, if ever. Compare to china's hosting of the olympics - one of the grandest in the history. They couldnt even host a commonwealth game. The bridge collapsed and the roof collapsed too, 20 days before the start. On top of using unskilled workers...

I deserve it for pointing out you are a piece of shit? Already said i dont know the guy or if he's paper trading or not. But taking pleasure in someone's trading loss makes you an asshole. And who gives a damn if he's paper trading or not. Actually dont even know why i waste time with your...
