If you don't have margin problems from an early assignment, then possible problems I can think of are pin risk and HTB if you become short the stock.
I trade the SPX. I don't start with the mid. I always look at the (near) equivalent SPY position and closeby positions first, and compare the...
Yes, 8/9 8/2 37P long calendar. The calendar position was a range play for a short-term pause. If I left my long position on, it would be a...
FB wants to pin @ 38. I sold my long position @ 0.40.
It looked nice in the early AM, but I didn't do anything. Not looking as great now. I'm just thinking to exit the trade sometime today and not...
No offense taken, not logical and it's a fault. Sometimes I don't trade systematically and I modify a position based on gut feel. I looked at...
Now I have an uneasy feeling that FB might explode either way in the last two days. I should buy a straddle or reverse my position LOL. But I...
Sorry, front two weeks, 37P.
The position is currently at mid 0.37 (from my 0.36). I don't know if I'll exit today or tomorrow. The whole position is small anyway, risking...
I'm dipping my toe into slightly short FB here with weekly time spread 37P. FB might stall at 38 IPO.
SPY commissions get too expensive for me when I put on 4-leg spreads. I trade more SPX, but usually I have to wait a bit to get filled at the...
Yes, much better to negotiate when volume was high. I used to trade hundreds of contracts IC each month when I negotiated. I trade less volume...
I think it's best to wait until a much higher VIX environment to do this type of trade (e.g. futures backwardation). And then, don't sell puts on...
Will this trade exclusively on the BOX exchange? I will certainly watch the volumes and the spreads. I suppose any competition to the CBOE SPX...
I do use SPXPM. But a lot of my trades are time spreads on weeklies, which SPXPM doesn't have. Some of the time spreads will hit the monthly...
Does this have any practical impact for the retail trader? If the news was monthly SPX expiration to be moved to Friday evening (which was what...
mini SPY? I need the mega SPY to save on commissions. I currently have on a 100 contract SPX IC. That would be equivalent to a 10000 contract...
At least the market isn't closed on Thursday & Friday. What would one do with weekly options? Take a risk in exercising OTM options based on low...
I was slightly bearish and had a limit put diagonal order OCT4 750P/OCT 745P @ 4.10. GOOG was @ ~752, and order mid was 4.25-4.35. I got...
I am not ForexForex. I'll stop posting trades here anyway.
