Too late. The horse is already out of the barn.

What's so special about %R? There are other "range indicators" with similar indications.

That's my perception and mostly why I've never bothered with them. I can catch the "low hanging fruit" with stocks, ETFs, ES. I'm exploring the worth of options on those trades also. Thanks for your input, however.

Hey everybody, thanks for the input so far. I am hoping to find a list of tidbits like below. Look for underlyings that are liquid (1 to 2 cent spreads) Trade underlyings with high implied volatility Be a seller of options premium (not a buyer) Sell options in the 60 - 30 day to expiration...

There he goes. Apparently his "morphing into a politician"... taking credit for things he shouldn't... is coming along nicely.

LOL! Can't afford the grey matter to become especially enlightened in options. (With my Swiss cheese old brain... when I try to put too much new into it, too much good leaks out.) Looking to make some money of course, but K.I.S.S. That JNJ trade I described above is my speed.

Of course you can get liquidity in big volume issues and close to expiration. But what about others not so big and not so close to expiration? For example, JNJ. Its OI for the Jun 16 120 Call is 5,000, but only traded 32 today. Let's say I wanted to buy 100 contracts. How do you go about...

Democrats/Progressives been ridin' that horse in the US for >100 years now. At first they were small, so didn't matter much. Now, not. :(

As one might imagine.... anyone who shows an interest in options gets deluged with offers from option advisory service. Seems they all want $2,000-$5,000 subscription... for which you are assured of "gains beyond your wildest dreams". Of course there are "introductory" offers... some of which...

Like... "Don't buy options, only sell Don't pay>$3 for an option Don't play option unless its open interest is at least _______ Don't buy with < 30-45-60? days until expiration Close trades 1st week of expiration month Trade options ITM-ATM-OTM?" That sort of thing. I don't really want to...

Lemme ask... If GWB hadn't wanted to impress his daddy for being a "war president"... and had never "gone into Iraq" under the false pretense of "Saddam's WMDs"... might we have never become involved in this ME mess? Might there not even be such a mess? Which if we're not responsible for...

Yeah, really. I don't get this... missile attack ("stunt"?). Let's hope the gas attack story doesn't end up a false flag (Like Ws WMDs in Iraq)... that would make things even worse.

You meant "1,000 yards receiving", right? "Probably make the HOF"? Geez, he should... #2 all time in receiving yards.

Kushner... is he a Lefty Liberal? Advocates open borders... what's he doing on Trump's staff?

"The government isn't the solution to the problem. Government IS the problem." -- R. Reagan Think about all of the big problems America faces today. Seem government created most of them. :(

I figured. I didn't mean "all IB" accounts... just all of the accounts at my particular IB. But when I asked them if I could keep my account at Wedbush, they said no.

Dorman's ratio of net capital vs required net capital is ~5:1. Some on the list are < 2:1. A couple are <1:1. I thought I was comfortable with Dorman being "5:1" when I moved my account there. (It had been at Wedbush through an IB, but all of the IB's accounts were forced to leave Wedbush...

If I sound ignorant, it's because I am. They've got "excess capital above required net capital". It's not all in cash... like in securities or such. If they needed cash, couldn't they convert some of that capital to cash as needed? Just like a person... maybe needs some cash and can sell...

They not "off balance sheet"... on the balance sheet but in some other form than "cash"

Doesn't Wedbush also act as a futures broker with their own customers (not introduced)?
