Don't the new "weekly" SPX and OEX options start today?
Coach: Are you considering any bear call spreads before the weekend is upon us and theta kicks in even more? I'm considering a 1240/1255.
Hi Jerry: I have the 1130/1140 as well, but I think it's too early to get really worried, although we do have to keep our eye on the situation....
I just couldn't resist the premiums on the bull put side. Got the following filled with ToS. Called to 'goose' the trade and it worked again:...
I just switched to ToS a few days ago and I have a number of posts on the subject. I was strictly OX before, but ToS seems far superior. Goosed...

Refresh my memory. IB does have trading on options on futures whereas ToS does not? But this is only an advantage during non Wall Street trading...
CNBC just announced that Ben Bernanke has been chosen as the replacement.
Alright!! I just called ToS and talked with the guys there. Scott Sheridan made me a deal on commissions, because I told him that OX gives me...
I tell you I'm getting fed up with OX fills. While they seem to do fairly well on the bull put side, getting my bear calls filled is always...
