    OEX weekly options

    Guys: I would be careful here. EUR/USD was topping the whole morning. strength in the dollar is typically bearish for stock market. This gap up in the morning is suspicious. One needs all wheels aligned to strike. Stanford: I am not familiar with TOS platform. But if you can take a...

    Falconview: Good to read about your abilities. How much risk capital is assumed in your estimation and for how long are the figures? How certain are you to get those numbers? People might also ask you whether there are chance of loss and is yes how much. I am impressed by your patience in the...

    Stanford, I could see that you did not get in a condor. So while the numbers are useful, I find it hard to draw conclusions on condors as related to you adjustment method. At certain point I assume you will paper trade in the same manner as you intend to trade in real life. Testing all...

    FV: thanks for the email. I received it, but have not had a chance to see what you do. Stanford: I responded to your PM in relation to adjustments. I may have mentioned in a previous post that you may want to post the price of your condor as it evolved over time. The data would be helpful to...

    Falconview: EUR/USD at 1.3548 ( as I am typing this at 10:33)). That is practically where models said to start selling earlier today. What do you see? Earlier today models said: between 1.3555 and 1.36.

    I doubt people can afford a Gardner, and handyman and a maid. You are living the high life. Do they call you Sir. Falcon and Madame Falcon? Maybe our friend Senior Miguel can afford it, but I do not know any one who can afford it around here? Senior Miguel seems to be busy. (Hi Michael---...

    In relation to that subject, I sent you my email address as you suggested some posts ago, but I did not receive anything. I wanted to let you know in case you sent something that I did not receive, and if you did send you now know why I have not sent a thank you email back.

    Falconview: People seem to be confused in EUR/USD. It just broke the high of yesterday (and it broke the low of yesterday as well). A new signal came saying to short it starting where it is now (1.3512), but to do it cautiously as the real sellers are more in the area of 1.3550 to 1.36. So...

    Falconview: EUR/USD signal of Friday came when it visited 1.3465. It traded below 1.34 early morning today. BUT a new signal came saying end of this little correction in EUR/USD, and to consider shorting at a number higher than 1.35. That number has to be computed. The selloff of...

    option commissions

    Order flow, wide bid-ask can be an edge. Commission is not an edge, just a cost that may not allow you to milk the edge. IB does market making.

    Condor Credit Spreads: Most common misconceptions, mistakes, lessons

    Among the misconceptions, I come across this one often: "condors are less risky because the probability of success on trade is high". High probability does not equate with low risk (even in indices such as in '87, '98, '08 are example). What do you think are the most common misconceptions...

    Falconview: The 2% rule as described in your post was not the point of my post. It is an element used in the post to reach other points/conclusions. In relation to your 30% bet size, what do you do if you lose it on the bet.?Each dollar will become 0.70., and you will need 43% on your...

    Weekly Poll: Pullback This Week? PART 3

    So your point is whether the participation is broad, and you got that issue raised in your mind because of your familiarity with some big name stocks. Do I get your point? If yes, you are making an excellent point. It is a very weird rally. BTW, my post contains many edits, and I am...

    Thanks for the kind words (my head will get too big if you do it one more time). A next article is related to adjustments. I wrote an article on track records, and 80/20, 60/40, etc condors? Hopefully it would help readers look at records from different angles, and even raise questions that...

    Weekly Poll: Pullback This Week? PART 3

    Shortie: Could you also list the stocks that are participating? One should not rule out a change in leadership, and therefore one has to to find the current leaders, and from there deciding on whether they could be trusted as true leaders to make a judgment on the rally. QQQQ are the verge of a...

    Who are the idiots buying bonds for 1% interest?

    The bulls of this thread were bullish on the exact days of the current top. Bonds did not trade above that high since then--- It has been more than a month now. When will they trade at a higher level if any? If the top is final, the bulls had a practically impossible chance to buy at the...
