    Why are there illegal option orders in the orderbook?

    Yeah, I make the same type of "sign flip" mistake all the time. Figured I'd clarify though... just so that @earth_imperator doesn't go off and write a program essentially based on a typo. Go get 'em @earth_imperator! Lol

    Why are there illegal option orders in the orderbook?

    I think you mean at most here, not at least.

    No rush, don't worry.

    Which bank stocks are you buying?

    I've promised a few folks it won't go below $50 by the 19th... turns out that wasn't especially smart. Also promised some people PNC won't go below $117 by the 12th. I've made better decisions in my life but I've probably made much worse too. Thankfully my portfolio of short puts is still in...

    Option Straddle

    lmgtfy.com? No, but what about letmegooglethat.com? That's the good/normal/old one. I tried lmgtfy.com and it's terrible.

    How many options strategies should you realistically master?

    Lol, that's an option too. You might want company at some point though.

    How many options strategies should you realistically master?

    I hate casting judgment but... if I were a captain on this playground, and had to choose teammates, it'd definitely be @earth_imperator way before @TheDawn! Remember doing that on the playground? Good times! I suppose this practice has been outlawed in recent days. And, all teams are randomly...

    How many options strategies should you realistically master?

    Inside joke from months ago where @TheDawn tried to explain his "infinite gamma" theory and then wouldn't listen to anyone offering him common sense. Wish I could find the thread now, iirc must've been late last year some time. Uh, yeah, I think it started here and the rest should make you laugh...

    Selling naked calls OTM & covering them just before ITM?

    Wait, an option "pricer" I'm familiar with... but an option "solver"? What exactly does that thing do... take the greeks for different options and tell you how to minimize them with different baskets of options? That sounds useful, and in a sense, what the article is describing. But I haven't...

    Selling naked calls OTM & covering them just before ITM?

    I have many questions but mostly I'd like to confirm my understanding of the article [p.19 (labeled 17) of the PDF here]. So, in order to have you help me, I should probably first give my understanding of the article. Lol... @anon9812 writes an OTM call and when the underlying moves against him...

    BBBY filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection

    It's worse than Home Depot... at least Home Depot sells useful stuff; tools, lumber and whatnot. Shopping at BBBY is like rummaging at the estate sale of a recently deceased cat lady. Lots of different bar soaps, scented candles, kitchen shit no one in their right mind needs, and overpriced...

    Selling naked calls OTM & covering them just before ITM?

    Delta Gamma Hedging and the Black-Scholes Partial Differential Equation (PDE) Sudhakar Raju Page 19 (labeled 17) of the PDF here. Does this make sense? Can anyone clarify further?
