Mo Money Yes, I have been reading all the book suggestions. I am on 2 forums for this topic and have been jotting down all the suggested titles from both forums. I simply asked again here because it seemed like a number of new people responded to this thread so I was trying to get more...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Buy1Sell2 What should I do if this is the case with intraday quotes on options prices? The same day goog went above $450 as I thought it would, it went back down and closed at around $433. So in the future if a stock moves in my favor intraday, what...

xtrhvydty Would you mind defining all the abbreviations you used? TA, HV, IB? And what options software are you talking about? If you are referring to stuff like "Options Made Easy" I did go to their little presentation and determined it was a waste of money, so I don't use that stuff. I...

thanks everyone for your suggestions. i thought i understood options at a reasonable level but apparently not. i don't know about the greeks other than the deltas and even with deltas i just know what they stand for but don't know what to look for. i don't know much about volatility factoring...
