I can't say for sure but I can speculate. Since they don't really coach naked calls (considered too risky) I feel confident the conversation...
As part of my education process, I sit in on trading rooms from time to time. Basically this is a learning experience conducted by coaches. The...
I am a newb too but personally, I wouldn't close out the long leg. Not unless you're willing to accept the risk of being short. You have to be...
And what if that goes against you? Or just sits there doing nothing? I think there are some comments throughout this thread that you need to...
I honestly don't get it either. I am certainly too ignorant to help the guy but I don't understand why someone here, who is capable, wouldn't....
That certainly appears to be the best solution to me. Take your $5200 loss (less premium received) and be done with it. But what do I know.
A post I hope I never have to make. Godspeed.

A follow up. I just got off the phone with TDA customer support who checked with a market maker who determined it was some kind of error. They...
It wasn't my entire account by any means but the loss was well beyond my risk tolerance. I try to limit my loss on a trade to $500 max. I...
The interaction between you and FF always cracks me up.
There is very little risk now that I am stopped out of the trade. :)
Wow. Thanks but still, wow. What lesson can I learn here? Not to put stops on options? Not to leave that stop in place overnight? The...
Can one of you experts please look at this option: GLD_091711P175 and tell me how I could have been stopped out at $2.22 at 8:30 this...
I completely agree. I haven't being buying options, other than spreads, for a couple of weeks. The swing trade was the exception. Should have...
I know I am not a big player like some of you guys. I know this is one of FF's "dinner at Red Lobster hangs in the balance" trades. My point is,...
Now that's funny right there.
