  3. I was inspired by maverick and his endless banter about debit spreads, so i decided to add some variety to my boring trading as of late. So i opened the following position a few minutes ago. Yes, you guessed it right - DEBIT SPREADS :D


    20 MAY SPY 130/128 bear put spreads for a $.40 debit.

    Max RISK $800
    Max REWARD $4,000 (thanx to the put side premium skew)

    If a correction is in the works, now would be a good time to start.

    coach -> nice call on GOOG.

    EDIT: It turns out i was filled for $.35 debit. So max r/r is $700/4000

  4. I think goog being up 30+ is skewing the spx? so many other stocks are not looking so good. will goog opening mean set is higher?

  5. Futures were up since early this morning so the SET will most definitely by higher than THU close.

    Got the following filled today:

    SPX MAY 1260/1275 bear call at $0.75 credit

    Also placed the following hedge:

    XSP MAY 133/134 bull call for a debit of $0.35

    I was watching the XSP and the SPY and it seemed like the XSP debit spread was $0.05 cheaper so I purchased it instead.

  10. I legged each leg into NDX for May today.

    1650p/1675p/1825c/1850c for $4.40. I'm a raging bull. the 50/75calls didn't have enough premium for me.

    My APR spx call's are atm 1315/1325, we'll see when SET is reported. I have teeny weeny size on, so not too worried. I originally just had the 1270p/1260p and got a little greedy with the calls.

    I experimented with 5 pts for spx may.
    1230p/1235p/1350c/1355c. I expect to adjust this beast pretty soon.
