Hey all, I've been out of touch for the last 14 days, and I'm looking to put on some Sept positions. I'm currently reading all the talking heads...
Hmm, does this mean your adding more than two layers to your Xmas tree? So say 2x1275/1250 5x1250/1225 10x1225/1200? I'm really using the VIX...

Hey there, Just hanging around waiting for the VIX to be below 14 again to try and get filled on a Put Diag, so I was reading our good friend,...
Are you still looking at the 1350/1375 Sept/Oct Diagonal? I pulled the trigger yesterday when the VIX dropped to 14.20, but didn't get filled,...

Okay, so back to actually trading. The SPX is up +9.50 before the fed, how does the 1295/1300 for .85mid or 1295/1305 for 1.40mid sound?...
Does anybody know of good option software that allows sweeping from multiple exchanges?
Couple things: 1) Is anyone gearing up for July, or all sitting and waiting for the Fed Announcement? 2) June results were 6.23% return on...
