glad i had this on paper trade luckily iron condors on other things worked out this week.

You mean at the money not out of the money?

Does anyone trade iron butterflys? I am trying to analyze the pros and cons of these versus iron condors. One disadvantage I can think of is you'd have to cover the short side that is in the money to avoid option exercise and pin risk, also it has a lower win rate. The advantages, more % gains.

choicetrade is $5 per trade and .15 per contract.

down 10% after hours. 20 from a few days ago.

either way the IV nuts on NFLX get ready for crazy sht.

the competition is cable companies streaming videos and also the net.

Haha yes thanks OTM, you know what I noticed just this week? If the spread is really small like .5 or 1 point, theres almost no change betw the spread when IV goes up.

OTM in your opinion, how close would you let price get to the underlying short call or put before you cover the position?

Equal to the GDPs of several 3rd world countries combined.

I am unable to purchase stocks in the positions my options are in bc i trade in a risk level that is way beyond the amount of capital needed to cover the position.

Thanks can you provide an example?

This doesnt make sense, if the market tanks down 10% you could get your 5 to 10 to 1 losers overnight.

I think you need one where the IV for the front month is like 120 and the IV for the next month is like 60. Then after earnings the IV for both is 50.

Heres one way i heard to do it. short 1 put and 1 call front month, go long 1 put and 1 call 2 months out, front month tanks after event, then second month out stays the same. close the trade after the event.
