  2. Hard to say if that is real to Photoshopped cause I saw that on one of those websites claiming to have nude pics of famous peeps. Since JA told me she would not do Playboy even, I kind of doubt the veracity of the pic :(. Nice to dream though...

  3. Yes, it's too early for June. Besides, now that my may 1335 short is closing in, i am in no rush to open a june position unless its a part of an adjustment.

    I played the last pop with debit spreads, this time i am going a lil more aggressive.

    Short ES 1330.50, target 1315/stop 1335.

    I currently have June 1375/1385 and 1375/1390 bear calls.

    I decided to look at some additional positions further out. So I looked at the 1385/1395 and 1390/1400.

    I almost placed an order and then, fortunately, remembered that I had walked into this trap before. Placing either order would cancel out my existing long position leaving me with a spread of either 20 or 25 points in width. Which is not what I want.

    Is there a way for me to do this. What I'm thinking that I want is the existing 1375/1390 bear call and a 1390/1400 bear call. The problem is that the 1390's would cancel out leaving me with the 25 point spread.

    Thanks, Rally.

    I do SPX & OEX credit spreads & ICs. Don't know enough about futures to risk my hard-earned$$.

  8. Futures are good for the leverage they provide, but with that comes greater risk. Unless you understand those risks, staying away is a good idea.

    I just added futures trading to my ToS account. However, I have no intention of actually trading futures at this time. I'm going to use the "paper trading" area until I'm thoroughly convinced that I know what I'm doing and that this is something I want to trade. I'm in no hurry and at this point, don't really care if I ever trade futures for real or not.
