When you accept 0.50 to 0.90c for RUT spread, it's normal that you panic 17 points away. The 770/760 spread in question gives me a total of...
I think your 730/720 February Credit Spread is very daring. I do have 40 740/730 Jan PUT Spread and I am worried about it. It's also your...
Coach, I am sorry to say that but this thread has lost it's raison d'etre . Where are those posts when people ask questions and get answer with...
When there is profit, you have to take it. Today I close one of my RUT I opened 15 RUT 790/800@5.50. I closed this morning @ 3.00. Make 2.50. I...
I haven't traded NDX for a while. I did get burned in it twice and since have stopped. I have been doing mostly RUT. For the last three months...
I am planning on switching 100% of my money from OX to TOS. I received a penalty last week because I made a mistake. I was entering a SPY 129/128...
I am on the same boat but for now I am still holding. It's going to test the MA(50) at 726 and should retrace to the MA(200) at 705. I hope my...
You need to go with your guts not the noise out there. I don't close position at 15 or 20 points from short; instead I try to buy a lot of IWM...
Congrats to you and your wife. I have two kids 13, 9. So welcome to the club. Not too much sleep at the beginning but you will enjoy "petit"...
I have been trading a lot lately. I have plenty of Bull Put and Call Spreads but I am trading only the RUT. The reason I don't talk is because I...
Coach, What about OX? I see they charge $3.99 a contract. How much IB charge?
It varies. Sometimes I risk 40K, sometimes 60, 70 depend on the market. For June I had a total of 66K margin requirements. But don't forget...
Rally, I don't have any sleeping problem. Once my short is getting attacked I am always ready to protect it. So I don't care how the market does.
Rally, Did you look at my earlier post. I am at 32.4% YTD and you are 32.6. Pretty cool
Coach, I liquidate all my positions. It was a wild ride. Here is an update of my monthly and YTD performances: June ROM (return on...
Enough to protect my Short. Good judgement is required. It's better small profit than huge loss (I guess). I try to use a minimum of 30% of my...
I put the hedge before the index is close to 30 points of my short strike. For example SPX @ 1250 and you have SPX BULL PUT 1220/1210, you...
Scienter, Lately and especially in this market, It's easier to predict a top reversal than bottom. My indicators work better on overbought...
Scienter, I didn't loose money this month. My hedges covered all my Spread loss and I end up with 7 to 9K profit (still to be determined). I...
Thanks Rally, Coach. I learned a lot last three weeks and I will do my best to avoid the mistakes I made. But I will continue doing some...
