I agree with tommcginnis. Please can you explain how are you using the individual option chart . I am also an option trader and I am not using this chart at all. New ideas arw good.

How exactly you trade options if you don't even open it chart to see how the underline is behaving? are you throwing a dice or flip a coin?

Ummmm -- the point being made is that YOU are not watching the underlying, but one, single, fractious derivative of the underlying. Capiche?

ok so keep trade options the way you do, and i will the way i do.
watching the stock and not the option is like knowing the inside of your car but not looking at the road, but hay, if it works for i'm happy.

Hi


to see how the underlying is behaving i use to open the underlying chart. An then, yes, I use a dart or a coin to make my trade.

But seriously , how you use the chart, Are you doing technical analysis of the option chart ? I don't know what extra information can you get
by following these charts. But maybe we can learn something.

I'm not here to teach people how to trade or reveal my trading techniques, if you do not find the option chart necessary and it works for you then great.
