I remember that trading group meeting. (I run it on Tuesdays at 12:30pm ET if anyone wants to attend live - its free.). I haven't seen Larry back so I hope he's doing ok with his trading. It was a really good session discussing what others had learned. Broken wing butterflies are nothing new...

FYI: QuantyCarlo released a free online historical option data viewer. http://quantycarlo.com/announcing-quantycarlo-data-viewer/10386

I can ask Amy. If I recall, she had a vacation planned around Sep and didn't trade that expiration cycle and got lucky. I work with Dan Sheridan and Amy is in our community. She's going to be a presenter on Nov 9th with the current Iron Condor class that just started if anyone is interested.

There are several sites online that give you this in a web browser. http://finance.yahoo.com for instance. You can also get a free PaperMoney account with ThinkOrSwim which will give you delayed quotes on all of the options TOS has (stock/index plus some futures options) I know a few...

If you want access to the back trader, that's $500/yr. OpScans are also $500/yr I believe. You'll also need a suscription to keep the software updated when they release bug fixes. Otherwise it's a few hundred bucks for each 0.0x maintenance release. I personally would think about their...

agreed. NxCore is an enterprise class feed.

Jerry Chandler told me last year the base price of NxCore is $750/month for delayed quotes and no historical data. Add $250/mon to receive historical data. "For OPRA, due to the size of the database, over 350,000 symbols, we only provide tick data for the last week"

Dan's the first to admit he's not great at technical analysis. He mainly looks to see if a chart is screaming up or down as those typically are risky for income positions. I've done a lot of technical analysis and the predictive value is minimal. What's loads more important is risk...

I'm the one in that other thread who works for Dan Sheridan. Let's clear up a few mis-understandings first: 1. Dan never worked for OptionVue. When Dan left the CBOE pit in 2004 he partnered with OptionVue to do the billing and advertising for him. Later, Steve Lentz did the first 4...

The mentoring is currently done via WebEx sessions. You call in via telephone to join a teleconference with Dan. Other students watch and can participate via a chat window. A few of Dan's students have private sessions (some work for brokers etc) but the vast majority are public and archived...

Thanks Jack!

Do you have a URL for Trade Alert?

Are you thinking of a butterfly or iron condor? If I put my short strikes on an iron condor deep OTM and everything expires worthless, how does volatility impact the Profit of that trade?

That doesn't really answer the question of how volatility affects profitability of an iron condor at expiration does it???

Really? So if I put on an iron condor and it stays between my short strikes at expiration and I didn't have to make any adjustments, you're saying the spread profitability depends on the volatility during the duration of the trade???

I agree that short term all option trades are affected by volatility. I'm just saying that at expiration, why does it matter what your prediction about volatility was?

Volatility helps you if it decreases after entry and hurts if it increases after you enter.. but only if you exit the trade prematurely. If you stay in until expiration, the volatility doesn't matter as all of the time premium disappears at the same time for all legs of your trade. So why...

Sure. Dan is working out some kind of deal with the Options Institute at the CBOE to have the basic classes paid for as part of the mentoring program if it's needed. Fill out the contact form at www.sheridanmentoring.com and I'll contact you directly :) Tom

The classes start each month, with the exception of December. HTH Tom Nunamaker Administrator Sheridan Options Mentoring www.sheridanmentoring.com

Dan's Jan 2008 class has three slots left. However, if you pay 1/2 of the course fee, you get access to the website right away and can start learning through the documents, forums and live and recorded WebEx sessions. So yes, the next available class isn't until January, BUT, you can start...
