    I will either play gingerbread man, or just prepare for the inevitable.
    Or if you're thesis has changed from when you opened it, then change with it.

    You have to be a scrambler and an improvisor, and call audibles at the LOS when your trades breakdown.

    Did you start trading yesterday??

    Are you seriously whining about American style options and early exercise???

    If there are no divs and you can borrow the stock,why wouldnt you want to get assigned early on a short call??

    You are welcome

  10. i agree selling orderflow to market making firms should be not be allowed if they are allowed it should be payment to the actual customer. you can see that 1 contract has the ability when to suddenly shift the bid/ask or hold price off unless of course prices is going against your order for a peroid of time.
