There are a bunch of free web-based probability calculators. This one is fairly simple but will tells you what you want: http://www.optionstrategist.com/calculators/probability The one thing you'll have to find out about the stock is its volatility. TradeKing has a slightly nicer one...

1) Never use stop orders with options. 2) Stop trading iron condors.

OP you forgot to mention in your post if you require the buy/sell signals to be profitable or not.

Echoing an earlier post, both examples are outliers. Real estate is by its nature a regional thing. When things went to crap in 2008 there were regions in the US that had only mild corrections while other regions got creamed. NYC is never a good example for typical markets for literally...

Well I'm not a slumlord renting to trash. I've had 2 different tenants and they were both clean, steadily employed and punctual rent payers. I guess it's only a matter of time before I'm faced with doing an eviction.

I felt a little bad for the poor bastard we bought it from; he really took a bath on it.

Dude, no one needs to start trading. But if you insist, open an account with Oanda.

I'm all-in long EDV.

Step 7) get an android :p

Not to mention it's OP's first and only (so far) post on ET.
