I knew the SPX was going to tease me! Time decay is really kicking in and (for the moment) it looks like a down start to the market today. I...
I'm more inclined to sight tight for now. I think we had some good news coming in over the weekend concerning the situations down south and a...
I have a bear call spread on SPX at 1250/1260. With the strong move up today we are very close to my "Warning" level of 1235, if we continue on...
I believe that OptionsXpress (and probably other brokers) offer all of this for free just for having an account with them. ryan
It looks like a good trade to me. You received a good amount of credit with the short strike being 52 points OTM (at the close). You are looking...
I closed a 1265/1275 spread early when the market tanked for several days for a profit (5.5% gain) and rolled it into the current 1250/1260. If...
Well, what do you know, Coach and I have one of the same IC postions right now and I even ended up with a higher credit (I put my positions on a...
A lot of times you just have to enter in the order and walk away for a bit. It is unusual for me to have an order filled right away. Most of the...
Yesterday I was looking at the same spread but decided to take on a little more risk and sold the 1250/1260 for $.65. I rolled down from a...
I just had a good laugh at my own screw-up. Replace IV with Delta in my previous post. That's what I get for trying to dash off a quick post...
I just did some quick aftermarket digging and found these: 1245 IV .13 1250 IV .10 1255 IV .07 1260 IV .05 These strikes appear...
I've got a bucket next to my computer in case I need to start bailing ;-) ryan
I opened the following positions last week: SPX Sept 1165/1175 put spread for a credit of $.75 SPX Sept 1265/1275 call spread for a credit of...
Which trade, OEX or SPX?
Phil got a great fill early on to grab the $0.95 credit.
If you have a support level in mind (which I'm sure Phil does around 1200ish) and the index drops like it has today and yesterday, the puts go up...
I am looking at Sep bear call spreads. The 1280 call delta is .15, I am looking for a delta of .12 or less to short. The next available call is...
I see what you are saying, I see where it would be better for you to close the spread and roll up. I just caught my error in thinking. I thought...
Have you ever done an adjustment to just the short side of the spread? What I mean is if you have a 15 point spread, buying back the short option...
I'm watching my calls closely as well. I've got a bear call spread with a short 1265 strike. Here's to hoping for good resistance at 1250 Phil!...
