Absolutely correct! If only new traders realize that before they fully engage the market, it will help prevent many future heartaches and frustrations that comes with the territory.

Thank you for sharing! Does anyone know where to find free implied volatility data/graphs on the Futures markets? Thanks in advance.

That's 30% return on my money in 1 day!! Better than trading options directionally i tell you, lol.

Wow, interesting! What about pennies struck after that date?

There has to be more than 4 trading them, lol. Spreading them has been working great when iv is high, and long gamma when low. Now that the vix is at 18 and looking to test 16's in the next couple of weeks, i would be a buyer of slightly ITM puts and calls simultaneously.

Hi Wave, So if we are in an expansion right now, what's the es price target on it before we pullback?

You are correct regarding being suspicious of HV, and not putting too much credit in it. The problem with HV is with the way it's calculated using standard deviation. For example, if we were to choose a 10 day period where the security is constantly tanking or rallying every day at the rate of...

I was about to check for new additions until I saw your post. Thanks for the update. I wonder why they're not adding more companies at a faster rate?

Good trading ammo! Btw, what is this polarized fractal efficiency i see in your chart?

Ok, you must have purchased the 570's then. So when Google opens at 590 tomorrow, you'll be making a cool 18k. While it's chump change relatively speaking, the % return on them is anything but. That's a nice outside shot! Congrats.

Fantastic! I love it when people make big $$ in options. Btw, what time of the day did you make your purchase, and are those the 540 strikes?

Hey ammo, How's it going man? It's been a while. You're spot on about how they keep the retail trader coming for more and play games with option prices. Keep up the good work!

On the SP, it looks like a classic, well defined bullish flag!

Consider yourself very lucky if you get a 1:1 ratio and the long side of the spread (whether it's bear put or a bull call spread) is nicely in the money. Any thing higher and you're talking astronomical returns. For that kind of return, you are surely going to be required to leg into the spread.

With the recent intro of weekly options on highly liquid stocks, vertical debit spreads are most likely the best option strategy for what you're trying to accomplish since they also expire in 5 trading days. The long side of the vertical should be slightly in the money, while the short side...

Options as a hedge are best used when the market is highly volatile, erratic, and primed for a spike either way. This is how I use them in my trading. You must be good in predicting volatility though, and wait for the right volatility setups, otherwise you might end up making nothing for your...
