I need historical data for options trading and studying. any idea where i can download this informations.

for studying and back testing, Optionetics Platinum is the best all around tool. It has the historic data as well as trade evaulation (prob, IV, etc.) and management.

I found a simple strategy and it works perfectly. Not day trading but little longer term. I found it in yahoo groups.

my strategy is to wait for pullback on qqqq for >1 % and go long on first strength day. hold for 7 days and sell.

I wanted to see how i can use option to minimize my risk and hedge it properly.
optionetics site is great ..researching there
I know lot of great option guys are here who can pitch in.

You will have more success trading off the MACD and Stochastic. LOL.

yes will also incorporate some very oversold and overbaught option strategy.

one of the strategy is to see if RSI close below 30 or over 80.
start buying 1/4th of size. make sure its greater the 60 days expiry.

If you have 100K stark with 1k as 1/4th size.
