    Is there a software that will do this?

    I am looking for a software that will make simple end of day charts (year to date for example) for a list of stocks. So, I would like to give the software a text file or something with a big list of stocks and I want it to make charts for all the stocks so I can just quickly look at each of...

    Assignment (newbie)

    I sold a vertical Nov 06 25/30 Put spread on SY (my first vertical sale), and today I've been assigned the 30 put and had to buy 100 shares of SY at 30. I sold that put for 3.97 originally so I only lost like $20 or so (without comissions). My question is, what do I do now? Do I close the position?

    How are options actually priced?

    Who comes up with the actual options' prices? Is it the exchange? Supply and demand? A model like Black Scholes?

    This trade possible?

    Oh wow, they're really good with emails. I just sent them another email and they said 20% is just a rule of thumb, but it's usually a bit less. Guess I can make the trade!

    This trade possible?

    Ok I asked TOS and this is what I got: "Per your specific XOM question, the margin required to sell 1 Nov $62.50 Put for $.60 is approximately $900. The general rule of thumb is approximately 20% of the price of the underlying for naked options. As for the margin itself, you can use available...

    This trade possible?

    I have $4015 in my Thinkorswim account with $265 of those in cash and the rest in a stock. Never traded options before, but I want to short a XOM put (naked). Is it possible for me to sell one Nov 06 $62.50 Put? Will Thinkorswim let me do it? Do I have the margin required? What about the same...
