Bernie will need to stand in line. We will first have a female president, a hispanic president, an Asian president, a female-hispanic president, a gay male president, a female lesbian president, a transgender president, and then, just maybe, a 73-year-old left-wing socialist Jewish president...

If you flip a coin and come up heads 10 times in a row, does it increase the odds that your next flip will be a tail? No, it does not. And unless your system specifically calls for you to skip the next "X" trade, the probabilities of it being a loss or a gain are the same as any other trade...

I have no doubt that these comments from customers are legit. A few years ago my wife and I were leaving Venice on a tour bus. In the front of the bus a woman turns to her husband and says, "Harry, I liked Venice. But I have to say that I liked the one in Las Vegas better. It was so much...

Baloney. Impossible.

Marketsurfer has been banned, which I suppose answers your question.

Um, lemme see, I've got a Playboy from 1991 around here somewhere. Remind me, who was on the cover? It was Betty White, wasn't it?

By far the most important factor in trading options is being able to predict the movement of the underlying. All your study of the Greeks takes a backseat to that. IMHO, nobody should be touching options until and unless you are a profitable trader of the underlying. Having said that, there...

LOL. So he flipped on his PARTY AFFILIATION and he's running for President, and he flipped on abortion, which is one of the most sacred planks of the Republican party... ...and you are wondering why I label him an opportunist? Come on! How clear can all this be? He is so transparent...

That's a very good question. (And I love you, too. This is politics, not personal.) I don't know Sanders. But in watching him I get the impression that while he's a Ralph Nader character, he does CARE about the well being of the country. He's expressing feelings and policies that he's held...

A fear-monger and opportunist like Trump - and that's PRECISELY what he is - will attach himself to negativity and draw out the worst in disenchanted voters. But what does he actually stand for? Certainly not what he stood for even a few years ago. Because what he professes to stand for is...

If you truly believe that, then you've been badly misinformed and/or misled. You need to look closely at his history. Study it away from cable news. Personal and professional. How he built (and destroyed) his businesses and investors, especially in Atlantic City. His pandering to the...

Exactly. Use your results to determine WHY your strategy performs well with certain instruments, then follow up with further study. Look at all conditions. What, why, where, how?

Advice from my first broker many years ago: Shit happens. Be prepared for it.

If someone sits on their hands and takes a 100% loss on their long option position, that person is not a trader. They are an idiot.

I was in Atlanta at the Momentum office the day before he came in shooting. Killed the guy I was meeting with. But Barton had many issues other than trading.

Delta will fluctuate with price. But that doesn't preclude the advantage of entering a trade with delta in your favor.

Look for a small horizontal grey line near top of page. Click on Delta & Imp Vol.

You can check delta on the following site: https://onlineint.optionsxpress.com/OXNetTools/Chains/index.aspx?SESSIONID= Yes, you should be looking for higher deltas to better track the underlying. But you also need to watch spreads, which suck for CHK. So, in this case, you got a low delta...

Asking again: What was the price of chk at the time you opened the position, and what strike did you select? I don't see a pic. If your strike price was out-of-the-money, then you may have jumped into a low delta, in which case your put may not be tracking the underlying in the way you'd...

Your problem may be the delta of the puts you bought. What was the price of the underlying at the time you opened the position, and what was the strike price you selected? What was the stock/instrument underlying?
