As you noted, the right move depends on your expectations for XYZ. Given that we don't KNOW what will happen, my game plan is always to lock in profits. I could live with any of your suggestions but my if still bullish, of them I'd lean toward #3, locking in gain and allowing further upside...

You need something more reliable like economists! They've predicted 23 of the last 8 recessions !! :D

It depends on who you peon. :eek:

Extra monitors are optiopnal but a big joystick is mandatory :)

Unbereaveable! At that rate you'll double your money every 4-6 weeks. In no time at all you'll own Manhattan! Sign me up !!!

You're a rock star! Where/when can we get your trading newsletter ??? :confused:

Watch real time news (Dow Jones, Bloomberg, etc.)

Do you watch porn during the Dead Zone?

Once upon a time there was a clown on Yahoo who claimed that with his superior fundamental analysis skills (giggles from the peanut gallery), he could sell LEAPS that were 30% OTM and that it was free money. And so it was for several years. In 2007 he shifted his attention to slightly beaten...

Massive success? Taught you everything? Then why are you wasting your time here?

If 32 people here say it's a good system then you'll put real money into it??? Running the system across a large number of trades will tell you if it's any good. Sadly, most people think that the trade is all there is to making money. How you manage the trade is just as important as the...

A coupla consecutive days like today and maybe they'll start running for the door en masse. Gimmee some of that old time rock and roll !!!

Truly spoken like someone who doesn't know what he's speaking about. And using brokers is so 90's !

Yeh, some words tend to get parsed ad nauseum around here. Let's call it an advantage :)

I like that definition of an edge. I'd add that one's skills enhance the result. I found a "trading edge" during the GFC of '08 and '09 which produced outsized returns for 20 months. But with all of the bail outs, stimulus and printed money, it ended. I guess my 15 minutes of fame is over...

I prefer to cut & paste other people's posts. It sounds so much more erudite taht way. :)

Yeh, assuming you're not a troll... go to the library and read every finance/trading/investing book you can get your hands on. Start with the beginner stuff. Don't worry about things you don't understand. In time you will. You're learning a language as well as trying to find out what dialect...

Just curious. Is this an academic question? ...because such subtle differences in IV mean nothing for most people's trading. And trading may even be a misnomer since they occasionally execute trades but they're not trading :) One thing about IB is that when I've had delta neutral...
