ok, so from what i take your saying is that OTM credit trades arent good because the risk rewars isnt worth it. or are you saying that credit...
sure sounds like you have an axe to grind. EVEN THOUGH, I've been agreeing with you the entire thread....on the exposure to risk...you're still...
Do you not make trades based on assumptions? or beliefs of something happening or not happening? or some sort of expectation?
Again, reading into things. I've been saying What I (me - not anyone else) personally believe that the likelihood of something happening in the...
Sure. So, show me where in this thread I disagreed with anything you're saying.
no one is arguing the merits of any strategy with you. You keep trying to flex you "intellect" when it comes to options. Not once did I even say...
Why do you keep suggesting that I'm saying I have some sort of edge? you're reading too much into what I'm saying. My only belief is that, in 1...
So what do you think people should trade? If something works, is it not best to use it until it no longer works? Provided you're not blowing...

yeah i agree the risk reward isnt great. when you sell atm options, how long of a duration do you go for? Im assuming you close out one side as it...
how are they "sure thing" bets? I never even remotely suggested they were. arent we all trying to make pennies when it comes to options? you're...
i completely agree. definitely risky. definitely a chance to have my ass handed to me. the thing is, i enter these trades last hour or less. these...
yup u got it.
yeah i know the after hours went up. i cant really buy the strangle back at this point since the contracts are already expired. What intend to do...
well the trade technically shouldnt be carried into the weekend, since the options are OTM and the expiration was on sept 18. if im mistakeb,...
I don't find your site too user friendly. There isn't a feature (from what I've seen) to be short stock, long stock, short/long options. If there...
can you explain? thanks.
I guess you can. So I sold two strangles in the last hour of trading spy. strikes were picked based on my last hour trading strategy. 195.50/195...
