Thanks for stepping in DJR, and all others too. It is so damn frustrating to see all these newbs lured in by this so-called risk-diminishing...
You forget to mention in your review, as in the posting here, that CC's are equivalent to selling naked puts. So the question of the OP comes...
Well put. Of course a cheap or free butterfly has positive expectancy once you own it. But the path to obtaining one has -exp in it in the amount...
Mr Cluseau, I'm glad to hear that you understand what Mav is saying. Please be so kind as to explain it to us. My measure to make sure I...
Then show us simpleminds how it's not. One single example will do. If you can't give an example, how do you know? Ursa..
Hi Maverick, I'm sorry if I upset you, that was totally not my intention and I can assure you that I'm not 'emotional' about this at all. I...
I know that, and I was certainly not suggesting that you were somehow misguided in your assumptions. On the contrary, if anyone here understands...
I think I agree with this. The term 'expectancy' is of no use when describing a series of taken positions, it only refers to a single position, at...
Ver nice! Congrats. Now get some sleep this weekend :p Ursa..
Permanently! Of course there is not one single guy/company/system doing a real calculation; the IV is a virtual figure that describes the...
You're doing well! Weren't you nervous for the ISM data? Looking at the timestamps you closed before the release. Why 4894, or is that your...
Good one. I'll keep that quote. Ursa..
Since it says you're not allowed to sell naked calls I would assume the answer is no. How will the broker system know the position is only...
In that case you maybe shouldn't come here and ask questions, because somebody might actually convince you that it will not work, in which case...
I still don't get it. If you're allowed to have naked options you are allowed to, if you're not you're not. What's so difficult? Ursa..
My experience too. Even worse, they only fill half of your order and leave you sitting with the other half while prices move away. If you need the...
Gamma scalping == what you call theta-scalping. As said, I urge you to read the book again. As long as you don't understand the basics of that...
CalPumper, you're a quick learner and it is always fun to see someone take the hurdles toward understanding options more fully. But I would...
No of course not; as I said, is your good right. Wanted just have it pointed out. Also, you may be referring to pop-up adds, those I have never...
First define what "correctly" means. Are insurers allowed to make a profit? How much? Is the market working efficiently? Do you mean now or in...
Separate names with a comma.
