the "Dear Christine" bit looks like it was written by a child.

Do they have levels for trading options? Last I remember, if you're granted options trading abilities with Thinkorswim then you can trade whatever strategy you like.

Who do you trade with?

Hmmm.... that's disappointing. I thought I was going to be able to start a 10k to 10billion journal.

Are these vertical spreads you're going in on? From what I've learned so far, the folk at tastytrade, warn new people like myself, to be cautious of buying straight OTM calls/puts as they usually expire worthless and we lose premium paid. Of course, I don't have the experience you have, and...

Hahaha. Ok then, thanks for clearing it up for me

Even if your underlying moves in the direction you call?

Would you say it's better to buy/sell two itm strikes on a debit vertical? I was actually thinking about this today. Why buy one itm and the other otm? If I get two strikes that are itm, I have a small cushion in case the trade goes against me. What are the benefits of buYing itm/selling...

Thanks for a great response. Poignant questions to work on. I read a book by Cohen titled "options made easy." To be honest, I didn't like it all that much. So I started watching the where do I start series with Tom sosnoff. His daughter is attractive. I think I'll read options as a strategic...

Selling a put to cap some loss. So simple yet didn't think about it! Thanks, Robert! I just put on my first debit put vertical spread on MSFT today. Now from my understanding, am I correct to believe that profit occurs when my short strike price(currently otm) becomes itm? Options are a...

I'm learning options through the TOS simulation platform. I sold a call to try and pocket some premium. Overnight, the underlying gapped up breaching the strike price, but not the premium which was 7 or so dollars. In this situation. Would it be best to just cut losses and buy to close at...

You didn't stick to your plan of starting next week. That must be why you're down. Either way, you've almost cut your capital in half with one days trading. Off to a bad start

Iit means I'm excited for you to work some MAGIC! Vol delta... what type of indicator is this? I'm only familiar with macd. And stochastic. Anyways, I think you can do it... if you let all your money ride at once!

I'm ready for you to get started already! Will you show us some charts of your work?

Are all your futures going to be on the buying end? Or will you be selling too

Are you nervous? How much experience do you have trading?

so are you going to ram your whole 1k into a single future? or will you spread it out amongst many?

ooh, basically giving away your option premium. I get it. haha

if you sell an option to get your credit, I was under the impression you could just buy to cover the next day and keep the credit. I asked something similar and the response I got was basically saying I can get out whenever I wanted.

Are you trading options? or equities?
