I'm familiar with the concept of hedging; you're just talking about something that I'm not. I simply stated that the 1925 strike was not arbitrary...
Are you waiting for someone to tell you that you don't know what you're talking about, or are you going to continue to entertain us with your...
History. Even during the obamaconomy the largest single intra-day loss has been under 9% and the largest one day gain has been around 10%...the...
If you're trading a range it's not directional, it's a range. It doesn't matter if you place it ITM or OTM. Stop trying to confuse clownpuf. He...
Oh, I thought he bought a long call...then he liked 1 call so much be bought 1 more and ended up in the "2 Long 2 Call" position. After which he...
I don't think you speak for "most traders" so let's just go with you speaking for yourself. You may buy an OTM fly because you expect it to hit...
We went over this already. We're talking about the position itself, which in this case was a butterfly spread - a neutral position with a defined...
Yah bro you have it all figured out! Go manage a hedge fund and "beat the market"! I think these tools who sit around analyzing charts all day,...

You know what I meant...and I don't care what the exact numbers were. It was an approximation. Each minute you spend over-analyzing is potentially...
You obviously don't know what being "delta neutral"...no...scratch that, you don't know what "neutral" means. Refer to the dictionary and then...
I traded using my plan and didnât go astray and followed the cardinal rule of minimizing losses and maximizing profits. This made me...
Sorry, but no. A butterfly is never "directional" because it narrowly defined profit range. Placing it OTM doesn't make it a directional position...
Don't know what all the over-analyzing is about this. It's a fairly simplistic move. The SPX has been consistently gaining about 50 points per...
Right... LOL Butterfly spreads are neutral - that's their point. You can profit if the stock stays still or goes in EITHER direction. If...
This was my second week of day trading. I've had good luck with stocks and decided to try my hand at options. I dropped a short condor on SPX...
A butterfly isn't a binary wager because you have a range within two breakeven points where the price must exceed so that you can earn full...
No, not neutral.
The answer to my question is that on IB their order optimizer considers this as a diagonal spread and adjusts the required margin accordingly...
