If you regularly trade a certain strategy (butterflies, condors, vertical spreads, etc.) do you set up your trades at the desire dplace and price...
No I am not.
Question from a novice - I have several relatively delta neutral positions going on a TOS demo (mainly butterflies with calls) that have a...
I was reading reviews about Interactive Brokers and came across this review that spooked me a bit. It can be found in the following link:...
Thanks for the recommendations. Could you be more specific as to why you don't like TOS/Optionshouse and why you like the others? Also do these...
What would you do in my situation? I like to trade (close to) delta neutral butterflies with long calls/debit spreads to balance the deltas, and...
True, but I'd rather stick to SPY/IWM because of the familiarity. Bitcoin will surely behave differently than these and it's probably not as...
Yes, close to delta neutral. Very important to be precise. I'm not saying they're wrong either. I'm comparing them to each other. They have...
Another question: I'm testing both ThinkorSwim and the OptionsHouse platforms. In the off hours, when the market isn't trading, the options of...
I really like OptionHouse's commission structure but hate their risk analysis graph. If I end up trading with them I would use third party...
How would you compare Hoadley to OptionVue (if you've used OptionVue)? Is backtesting available with visual risk analysis graphs? Do you trade...
Thanks. It looks like they have good programs. However I'm not interested in bitcoin. If I can use it with SPY/IWM data that would be perfect for...
Thanks for the link. Do you happen to know if it contains a visual risk analysis graph and if you can get SPY and IWM data?
Is there any free options software out there where you can test your strategies out on actual historical data with real past market prices and...
Have you ever been assigned on a short ITM option on SPY or IWM before expiration? What strategy were you trading and how did you handle it? In...
Here it is. This is info from a demo after the markets are closed. Not sure how helpful it will be: [IMG]
I don't know what's wrong with it. I certainly won't use TOS until I'm satisfied by testing my positions on the platform for several months. After...
I don't know about other platforms but in TOS you can change the settings to use a "volatility smile approximation" instead of the default setting...
edit on my previous post: The reason for the strange combinations given above is that closing out the trade in 2 three-leg custom spreads...
The examples I gave were actually examples of trades that would be used to close open positions. Sell 10 SPY 181 PUTS...
