They say the devil is in the details, and I still don't understand how you profit on these. In your daily wick zone 4 video you show a trade that...
Either that or you are part of the option fixing syndicate and you were trying to change the subject? :cool:
I don't trade those but earnings are coming up and vol is higher
if you are thinking that it will head down why not scalp a backspread instead? I never had much luck scalping indices, although I always heard a...
Couldn't this just be a hedge to a long portfolio to protect from an overextended market?

Just curious, when you say selling downside spreads, are you referring to otm put verticals? I am trying to figure out what you mean by rolling...

To add to this, you should also really understand the greeks especially trading the strangles. Today should give you a good idea on those...
One more thing she mentioned: "last year sell two puts longer out for every one call". That to me is trading directionally (positive delta,...
When you pull up the margin on TOS and click explain margin it shows the 10% down number (how much you would be down) and the 6% up number as...
