Yes, mostly hypothetical. I just wanna know how to identify a high or low IV on the related option chain.

Trying to understand IV a little better by giving an example. Do you think the DEC 18 SAVA calls at $10 or $7.50 strike with a IV of 110% and 108% is low or high for this option?

It's JKS a recent hot china play in the solar sector. Had another big run at the start of NOV but things have gotten awfully quiet after that. My calls expired worthless today.

Is this considered a falling wedge pattern?

Traderworkstation. They sound similar.

Is there any monthly fee to be able to trade on options or you can trade using the free version of tradestation?

I am guessing you didn't get rid of your NIO shares and got yourself fk. Should've bought the big dip Friday. FOMO is gonna hit hard Monday with Citron flipping cheap shares and taking it back up just before ER.

Bought puts of Li right on the open and got an favorable fill I cannot put my finger on. It filled me at .60 at around $38 underlying price. It moved up like $40 but instead of being down I was close to breakeven. I covered the puts way too early and only made 50%. Would've been 500% if I held...

Sold the puts of ACB for a 220% gain. Thought it would hit 4's but it started curling at lunchtime and hit a high of 8.27. I don't know about everyone else but it's been quite difficult to find plays this week. It was much easier the week before the election. The chart on LYFT gives me a...

Simple, you can make a ton more in options if it moves in your direction and you get to define your risk. It just suits my tastes more. Also, the commissions are much cheaper. With stocks it costs me .005 per share ($1 minimum). With options it's about 60 cents per contract. I am cutting my...

Someone has to start somewhere. Besides, I am only trading 1 contract at a time.

I rebought puts on ACB and held it around the 11's. It just dropped another 15% in AH. Why couldn't it tank in market hours? Seems to be a huge disadvantage on certain options that only make sharp moves after market is closed.

Are you asking me or in general? Not sure the strike but probably somewhere below 20 11/13 calls.

What if it gaps like to 100 and opens at 100? Does the price of the premium go up with it? Or are you saying the option will maintain the close price after open?

In around the 10's-11's avg, it gapped to 16 and opened at 14 but I wasn't even up a dime at that point. I thought I would've at least tripled my investment and instead my pnl was showing red on the position. Does that mean the extended hour % gain/loss does not reflect on the options price?

Ok thanks, that what I needed to know since a put on the same strike price as a call has a higher premium which I can't afford to get in.

Most of the information I am getting from google tells me it has to be on same expiry date and strike price. I don't get why you cannot just simply buy a call and put at different strikes and expiry date?

Yeah, that's what I thought. Maybe he's talking about leverage that would make more sense.

Bought 2 calls on ACB near the open. Made about 100% on each call. Went into JKS as well but it didn't much on Friday. Currently, down on it. Have new calls on ACB but I am worried about earnings which is released before the open.

Also, can you get margin call on puts? I thought you only lose what you paid for in premium?
