Dia options.
Well that was a useful contribution. THANKYOU.! Gives me something to think about.
I call that useful techno stuff.
( grin ) Think you will miss me? I'm off on vacation this weekend, for an uncertain length of time. Traveling to the high sierras of colorful mountains and volcanoes, of the State of Chichicastenango in Guatemala. First goal is FUENTES GEORGINA'S HOT SPRINGS for a couple of nights. Located in a gorge on Volcano Zunil. ( it's on the web ) Lovely pine forests, indian villages at an altitude of 10,000 feet thereabouts. The loveliest lake in the world, Lake Atitlan. Georgeous mountain and volcano scenery.
Will take up trading again when I get back. Chou buddy!

Dipshit ..... You are not collecting theta with a debt spread. 
XYZ at 100.
Is the 80/90 bull call spread + or - theta?

You forgot to add that stupid grin to your post. You also forgot to call him a dipshit.

While my thread might be titled trading long straddles.
For now, I shall be concentrating on weekly VERTICAL DEBIT SPREADS.
Got back from my mountain holidays. Forgot just how cold high mountains can be, whether in Canada, or on the Equator. Brrrrrhhhh! Enough of that for sure. Beautiful scenery, but mon, I like my warm eternal spring weather.

I have no idea. I'm a novice technical trader, losing money.
My trades just finished putting on.
wmb 29/30 at .66 cents - stock at 29.70
aapl 630/635 at .34 cents - stock at 606.37
qqq 63/64 at .47 cents - index at 63.04
___________________________________
This is only my second try, at getting the order entries correct and to see if I have the root idea of what I'm trying to do. So these trades are in the TOS web based paper trading platform. I am still not totally comfortable, or clear about what is going on, with this.

Now, I have bank to go to, some shopping at the hardware store, post office and later a long trip to the lumber yard to buy some supplies. Not going to watch these anymore today. Chou!

ATTICUS
I do have a question? One of my three debit spreads, WMB 29/30 went above the 30 strike briefly today. The question in my mind,would be would that have triggered ASSIGNMENT the stock?
I'm not clear on that point, and the web based TOS paper trading probably would not show that either, I imagine. It is something I should be aware of though.
