Was wondering if I could still use the features and charting or do they restrict access after a while.

is there a way to filter down the best strike prices of an option for that month? or even, best months to trade strike prices for the year? i can imagine IV has a lot to do with it, but not with the individual STRIKE prices!

i see so many strike prices on an options chain and wonder to myself, what the h*ll to do lol. i mean really, do we know what price we want to buy or guess at? i think not, but, it sure seems like the market does. i suppose buying at 3 different prices hedges one's risk in the underlying, but...

no, i mean the STRIKE price of the option. lol

support on an option? i never knew you can read charts on them. or s&r even mattered. i thought it was all intrinstic/extrinsic value, deltas, underlying, etc that influenced the price movement.

why not 38.5 on XYZ instead of 38 but yet, price and volume is liquid on 38 for some reason over just .5 points more. does the crowd know something?

But Cy, why THAT strike price? you know what I mean?

But usually I gather buying a certain strike price is better than another with days or weeks until expiration. The crowd knows something when it comes to picking strike prices.

How do you pick your strike price?

My dude, I am not looking to trade options. Jesus louiseysous! I just have a general question on the matter to know and find out. Thank you

What would be some good books on the subject?

Just a question. Not looking to options trade full time or anything but am "feeling the waters". Re: puts no brainers. I meant to add calls as well because usually they expire worthless so I would imagine shorting would be an optimal strategy.

For one that doesn't have time, I ask but a simple question to a public forum.

I never knew how options traders buy their strikes based on what merit. What price? How do you know it's the right price to buy at for your strategy? Puts are another thing and shorting, well, naked is just a no brainer. But buying calls, buying puts? Old school style. How do you know what to buy?

I object to that. I only came here to find reason behind long term edge and what forex really means to people. To me, it is a market that isn't worth s*it because spot in the US is almost untradeable. 50:1 leverage, really? Take that min account balance elsewhere and trade in cash. It's rigged...

Well put.

Why not?

what is it? i mean, i know what it is, but, how do you trade it? EUR/USD for example. do you just look at it, set some targets and trade near support and resistance? What do you look for? Consider this a beginners thread and question. Thanks!

Galvin, I tried PM'ing you. doesnt show an option.

Usually I trade based on feel as well as S&R. I always look out for high probability patterns. But, the problem is emotional. I get too into my trading and "god complex" when i win, or then overleverage, make a ton of money, and then give it all back because I feel it was "unearned". Right now...
