I sold the 1300/1310 Dec call spread yesterday. I like the flat action of the last 2 days but still a lot of time to expiration. I was hoping...
I'm tempted to get into the 1310/1320 call spread for about .50 (don't want to go less than that). With little trading and volume expected on...
Personally I thought the recent high of 1245 (July) would be tough to break through but the market shrugged it off like a little flea. With the...
Tried to use OX live help to goose a trade today. The mid of the b/a was .10 above my limit so I thought if I had them call the floor I would...
I think I am going to skip the call spreads this month. Since we broke 1245 it is hard to see where this trend might run into a head wind. I...
I've been meaning to check out the XEO for credit spreads. I think after today's SET on the SPX I will be looking things over very closely this...
The SET today keeps making me shake my head. From Thursday open to the SET today, you are looking at a roughly 24 hour time frame ad nincrease of...
My Optionsxpress account has a $19.95 per leg minium for the spreads. If you do several spreads of 20 contracts (i.e. 10 long puts and 10 short...
I wouldn't buy it back either (especially after the rally this afternoon). I was just commenting on the good drop in price to buy it back in a...
I got spooked at the beginning of the month and took a good sized loss on the calls. I hesitated to roll up at the time, waited a few days and...
It's very quiet in here today, is everybody sweating out their November short call positions :D ? I got out this morning, lost $40 for the month...
Looks like you can buy back this spread for .10 this afternoon, a good play at expiration! I was thinking about your Dec 1225 put for...
If the trade works out that is a 3.3% gain on margin for a 3 day trade. Not too shabby! I like to get at least that much when I put my positions...
Trading on the SPX does end on Thursday but the final settlement value is determined by the open of each of the 500 stocks on Friday morning. See...
A move down would be preferable to a move up! As I write this, your short call is 15pts OTM. There is still today's second half to play, along...
I've been watching the IV on the Nov 1245 calls. It went from 8.5 on Friday to 11.5 yesterday to 12.3 today (give or take a little). That was a...
:D I get it now lol! :D ryan
Ok, I've been scratching my head trying to figure this comment out, what does this mean? ryan
That is a very aggressive move with the 1245 strike only 10 points away from the market right now. Let's hope for some so-so to down PPI and...
I wish, a 3 day weekend before expiration next week would be awesome for theta! ryan
