I thought they were banned 10 years ago - due to Refco. No more 400:1, 200:1 or 100:1 leverage/margin.

I assume IV ramp is increasing IV as earnings is approaching. Buy a few weeks before - sell day of earnings. Good on tech stocks such as NFLX, TSLA, AMZN.

Interactive Brokers is sponsoring the Journal forums. The latest thread appears to be about 6 months old.

What was the strike for the call? My guess$1850. The 1767.5P/1850C strangle would cost about 60.00. As of now the 1850 call is worth about $20.00. I suspect this thread isn't legit and the OP never made the trade. Just like the repair strategy for nflx short put thread.

The word "concerned" is not in my vocabulary.

We are in a bull market. New highs constantly being made. Less $$$$ risk.

FB ............... Again the pre-market dominated the move. Pre-market volume 16,676,919. Todays volume 120,000,000 and counting. So far FB is trading flat during the regular market - I would think at market open the big traders would disagree with the opening price and either buy and drive...

I got the earnings date wrong - I thought it was yesterday - but it is today.

I believe so. Except Sundays - so more like 24/6. Looks like you are stuck with me.

I thought for sure AMZN was going to make a run for 1 trillion dollar market cap.

FB is dragging everybody down.

Option premiums in advance of earnings are like the tide, they don't shoot up. More like slowly ebbing and flowing. Any time is good for option trading.

If you login over the VPN all locations will use the IP address of the Head Office while you are on the web browser. Is that correct?

This is quite the turn of events. Not the outcome Lukas V was expecting when he started this thread.

This is a $134 trade, 2 days to expiry. FB and AMZN report earnings today. QQQ at $181.60. Buy 1 QQQ Jul 2018 181.00 call at $1.34. Should get you more than $100.00. You risk $134.00. EDIT: Expiry is July 27.

Why futures? IMO ....... Equity options are much easier to figure out with plenty of volume. Lots of $1000 opportunities with equity options - I don't think the same can be said for future options.

She gets a lot of likes/thanks on her posts - on ET and on that site. She could be creating multiple accounts and liking her own posts.

Over on the Malicious Multinicks Stalking thread.

AMZN up 10% - 15% tomorrow after earnings. The race to 1 trillion dollar market cap is almost over.

Yes ...... correct the typo and it makes more sense. By instead of buy. "Have you thought about winning at trading by selling Strangle/Straddle?"
