Hi! Could not find email alert feature in the program - where is it exactly?

wrong you have just calls and puts

Analize tab->upper right corner -> plot lines->Expiration->+2@Expiration

advice is simple - don't start unlimited risk strategies while calling yourself newbie. No one can cover unlimited loss with limited gain.

any butterfly is just a combination of spreads - credit or debit. if you have credit spread the maximum you can loose is strike difference less premium received. Margin requirements will not change with time as your risk is defined. If you will be assigned with ITM short leg of the spread you...

how do you calculate return?

If you sell the call in July with usdjpy at 103 it will be at least 7 points value (in reality 7+time value). The position will be closed, not "locked". You'll recieve 7 points per one contract less premium paid for call less commisions.

short answer: not delta-neutral

I agree, nothing was said about time of the position hold. but anyways with short-term puts you're more likely to pay the insurance premium in full. With long-term puts you'll most likely roll forward at a relatively small debit.

at least buy long-term puts, just divide the price of 12-month options by 12 - they will be much cheaper than 1-month puts. Long-term puts also will contain time value longer - so you'll probably make a better deal at closing, especially if you close the position way before expiration.

close old position (or leg), open new position (or leg). nothing fancy :)

Just remember, that you'll pay 1.60 for each call and loose it if BA below 111.6 at expiration. With deep OTM options you have a slim chance of very high profits. Right now if BA gain 10 points you'll have a little less than 100% return on investment. Pros - your risk is defined, cons - the...

if you want to own shares that's the best strategy to get'em. Put 12000 in money market or smth to improve return.

please post the name of the site for not to use your calculator :)

i would suggest to put 10k on a 1 year CD tomorrow and start reading and paper trading. Return in a year and start asking questions. otherwise go to vegas and have a good time - as the odds will be the same, and loosing money while trading is much more boring. personal advice - don't bother...

sorry, didn't notice that it's margin account. just check your broker for the spread requirements as you have 2 spreads here.

most of the times it'll be 1000-credit received

cause they still have time value. But with ITM options you'll always expose yourself to the risk of early exercise. Even if nobody want them, ITM options will be automatically exercised at expiration.
