I am currently working on a strategy with weekly options where I usually enter the trade on Monday and exit on expiration Friday. Now assuming the underlying price is 60.50 on Monday and on the expiration Friday the price is 62 we have the following scenarios: 1. bough2 ABC 61 call for 0.35...

good point actually and imagine I registered five years ago here, red tons of information on this forum, and still poor trader. Hope they wont remove me from here :)

nice one!

That is worth considering. However, I stared with stocks and I found them in a way more difficult to trade than options. The reason is that when I am buying options I am risking only small fraction of my capital, which I can lose and still survive, in other words while buying strangle I am...

yes I am trading strangles, sometimes monthly expiration, but more weeklies. I am trying to catch the big move, like for example FB on 15 and 16 June where it went up 6% respectively. So on one of the days the calls were up by 700% and you would only loose about 90% on the put. So I am trying...

I am trading options for quite a while already and I can only break even. It looks like there is something wrong with my approach and I need to change / adjust my trading method. The way I trade currently is collecting a large amount of data and back-testing it. I have a data of about 6 months...

Yes I am aware about this danger. I was thinking if the currency dropped significantly like on this example: http://www.google.com/finance?q=EURVND Plus having about 14% interest rate, you are at least somehow protected if VND drops even more. On the hand, the course was already above 1...

I am looking for a forex broker / bank where I can just change most of the currencies and get interest rate. Below is one example: http://en.easy-forex.com/int/interestratetable.aspx So based on the link above, when I for example change USD into AUD, I should automatically receive 5.02%...

I am very satisfied wit the screener from finviz.com like on the example below: http://finviz.com/screener.ashx?v=111&ft=4 but I need to access the historical data as well, an option that enables to select date in past to see the same screen with old data. Does anyone know if finviz.com...

I checked my statement today (Sunday) and everything is ok, my options were excercised!! Thanks for your answers as they were correct!!!

I have a huge problem with my stock options bought through interactive brokers. I invested a lot of money in several stock options and I made some profit. The expiration day was on Friday 16 and I didn't decide to exercise the options. I was told that if I don’t exercise them, the options will...

$100 is my last price!

I would like to sell the Pair Trade Finder lifetime licence for only USD 120. The normal price is $497 USD.

Whereas it should not be a problem to filter out stocks for the dogs of the dow strategy, I would not know how to filter out the worst 10 performing stocks of the S&P 500 over the last 3 years. Can anybody recommend a simple toll doing this for me? Thank you!

Yes and according to aaii.com in 2008 you would lose 45.4% investing in dogs of the dow and this year YTD is minus 16.8% already. But almost all the value and growth screens were in minus in 2008. Below is the performance of all the systems: http://www.aaii.com/stockscreens/performance.cfm...

How do you look at the date? Where can find some more information about this kind of strategy? I am sure that there are many similar strategies, but I have no idea how to find them online. Thanks!!!

I would like to invest a part of my capital in a long term strategy for my retirement: I have found this: “On the 1st Oct you buy the worst 10 performing stocks of the S&P 500 over the last 3 years. Then come Sept 30ish the following year you sell and buy the next 10 worst of the last 3...

For me the system is working this way: In May I made 34 trades. I closed 20 trades for a profit and only three for a loss. One would think this is a great achievement, but it is not since I am still keeping 11 pairs and most of them are awful. The worst pair is PTI – short and BLKB- long...

I have few questions to Jonny or anyone else working with PTF for a longer time: 1. I observed that you incorporated the percentfrommean chart into your trading. How important is this chart in your trading stile, how do you interpret the chart, any rules? 2. Seems like volatility is not...

Hello I am using pairtradefinder for three weeks now and I am successful so far. (from 28 trades I closed 17 for a profit and 1 for a small loose). I am basically following the same what Jonny is doing, but I am taking more trades every day. I have one question to Jonny or anyone using PTF...
