Hi Y'all, Does anyone sell puts on SVXY? If so, what entry/exit rules do you use? I've been thinking about it for a while and it seems to be...
Hi Y'all, In theory put calendar and call calendar on the same strike and expiration should trade at the same price. However, in practice it is...
Nobody is using eOption?
Does anyone have any experience with eOption.com? Their commissions are good ($3+.10/contract for each leg) but they have some extra fees...
I discarded this strategy a long time ago. However, the is a monthly Iron 'Fly strategy that has worked some 35 out of 36 times averaging 10%...
