    last time I pulled up option trader it damn near froze my machine up. That was a while back tho ---when they first added all that new stuff.

    You bought those options for the grand total of 45 bucks and then doubled your money. That is not bad. I was surprised to see how liquid those options are. I was even more surprised to see how cheap the commissions were with IB. LOL ---

    IB options @ $1.00 /contract is pretty good for me. But I hear ppl who do size getting much better rates (0.65 cents/contract). I want those commissions dammit.

    P.S I like trading ITM options as we get close to expiry, almost no time premium.

    IWM is currently trading at 63.11 so I would be looking at PUTS/CALLS between 61.5-64.5. Not sure if this answers your question?

    I'm thinking of buying some SNDK puts as well when the time is right.

    I was asking about the expiration. What are looking at NoV or Dec? When do the Novs go off the board? When do the Dec options expire?\
