The OP is referring to a Debit Spread. His concern about being assingned on his short position is unfounded and he isn't screwed, the position is...
But he gets demerit points for wanting to put all $5000.00 into one debit spread trade. So it will end up as a "Here, hold my beer and watch...
You posted a May23 AAPL 595/605 call spread at $443.00. The 595 call can be bought for $6.85 and the 605 call is selling for $2.42. See post #3. I...
Doesn't matter if IV is high or low. If the short option ends up ITM then you will probably be buying it back for more than the premium you...
$443.00 to be exact. And the short call will be like having a piano tied to your back. The AAPL 600 call is $4.25 ($425.00) and there is no...

The QQQ trade was mentioned on ET and I thought there would be some sort of update on ET - not some other forum. How is the QQQ trade NOT...
So did the OP sell-to-close the 50 contracts of QQQ weekly 86.50 puts? He paid $0.39 for them and I'm sure he would be anxious to sell and...
OK thanks ......... I see he has closed the AAPL calls @ $0.81 and bought the QQQ weekly puts. Now watch AAPL hit $600.00 on Friday and take the...
I can't find the QQQ put trade. What is the position?
For a brief moment at 10:24 AM EST it was trading at about $3.00. It is impossible to watch every tick and know when the high of the day is. AAPL...
Still too much negativity about the AAPL weekly 592.50 Call trade , but that's typical of ET. Q: How often does AAPL make 1-day $13.00 gains. A:...
