FYI, IB's latest TWS upgrade now allows for trading in the weeklies... Also, the SET was 4 points higher than the high of the day today. These things could be very hazardous to your health...
1. Go to SPX line in TWS (or put SPX in) 2. Select Options 3. Select the nearest ATM Stike that ends with a 5 -- put or call -- for the current month (Dec now) 4. Selec the contract that begins with a J That's it. According to the CBOE website they open the ATM contract and 2 on either side. After that, I don't know if they add additional contracts.
I have accessed the put prices and they are for 1235, 1250, 1265, 1280, 1295. I did not understand when you said ends with a 5 please clarify
No worries. I only found the ATM with quotes when I looked. There were contracts that could be selected for the others but they had no quotes. I guess the one's actually traded are 15 apart. My apologies and thanks for the correction.
13 days to expiration with the weekend eating into that nicely. I am 35 points OTM on the call side and 60 points OTM on the put side. A little more pull to the down side would be nice but I will take flat for now. ryan
