Guys... I have been reading this forum for a while and I notice there are some very experienced people in here. I am totally new. If there was a book "Options for Idiots" ... they probably wrote that for me.. ; P I was wondering.... have you guys ever experienced watching the news/ looking at charts.... everything looks great... u open up the option chain... place the trade and when the market opens, the price has moved. Is that a norm? Is there any way 2 over come it? I have been practising virtually and have not faced this problem. But would this b an issue in the real thing? Hope you guys can advice. Thanks... ; )
