    Again, how many contracts of the aforementioned calls, and what is the average entry price?

    How hard it is to write this:

    I bought 20 calls on the SPY with Feb expiration, strike 85 and I paid $2.50 per contract?

  10. The one that expires in about a month..3 months would be more conservative obviously, but I want to make more $ and I'm very confident the market will surge
