Okay you professionals that contribute to this thread, here's a question for you. The Nov 1120 just got added today. I'm trying to place the...
Yes, this is the problem. That's why I'll be interested to see if I can keep to my new strategy of selling more call spreads than put spreads (to...
I've been thinking along the same lines. To me a large change in the market and therefore the SPX is like a catastrophe from the point of view of...
C: Your certainly correct about the risk on these credit spreads. Coach stresses risk management over profit, but IMHO the biggest threat to...
I just noticed that these strikes were added except for 1120. Just as a followup, did anyone notice if these were added yesterday? I was...
Jet: I hope you will be a regular contributor to this forum on credit spreads. Your experience and knowledge would be an asset to us all....
As a regular poster on this forum, I missed today's action because I was traveling. Wow, 8 or 9 pages of mostly useless posting from Maverick...
Found the following fact in an article about October generally being a difficult month for investors. "There's never been a decline in the...
I'll take a stab at this since I want to make sure I understand it. In your example, if this is a bull put spread, then the SPX should be...
I don't understand. Why can't one use a butterfly to adjust, in my example, the 1150/1160 down to 1140/1150?
Let's see if I understand this. So for the butterfly, I would have placed the following (I'll use 1 contract) BTO 1 SPX 1140 STO 2 SPX 1150...
Two orders. I use OX. Yeah, maybe I haven't placing these orders correctly. When I adjusted yesterday, no sooner had I bought back my...
Hmmm. Your response was probably prior to my recent post giving the numbers. As I said in that post, my diary was muddled and I don't remember...
Andy: After I responded in my previous post, I decided to look at the actual numbers for that month in my diary [enough time has passed :)]....
Thanks, I must have missed it. So what's your thinking on completing the IC for this. I'm currently trying to get filled on a 1250/1260. Do...
Coach: Are you holding out on us? What November spreads?? :)
Andy: I wish I could give you a well-thought out answer. At the time I was under extreme stress as I allowed this to go on over a weekend. By...
Andy: I hear you. I went through worse in July as my spread was ITM and I never want to go through that excrutiating experience again. That's...
Is anybody looking at November spreads. We have 5 weeks to expiration and I believe that this is also within Coach's time frame for the next...
BTW: It's not when YOU adjust that the market will turn around and go the other way. It's when I post an adjustment that that will happen :)....
