The end of the US stock market is nearing

Out of the following: $VIX Mar18 40 PUT @ $4.80 up from $2.70 Those Hail Mary Bids and Asks are hit sometimes outside the posted Bid/Ask prices. I think it is because of the volume and speed of the options traded....

Sorry, Simply-Me, I just saw your post. To be honest, since the Dodd-Frank Act repatriated all US residents back to US forex companies and limited the leverage to a max of 50:1, I seldom trade currency any more. I have a couple of accounts with some ...

What works, and what doesn't

I've been asked on some PMs lately, so just for the record, I will trade PUTs on the $VIX periodically. I am actually in one now from right at the close, but I see no need to put it on this thread since it is actually an item that has no real ...

Out of the following: DIA Mar20 250 CALL @ $6.45 up from $4.95 Thought it would make it to $6.95, but it didn't quite get there so had to chase it down. I didn't have the stones to hold it overnight, but I'll take a $1.50 profit and be happy..... ...

I would expect a small bounce at the open or even a move up right at the close. Should be good for a little money, but a lot of money if people realize this panic may be unnecessary for just another strain of the flu...

I'm trying to do CPR on it.... In the following: DIA Mar20 250 CALL @ $4.95 Put this bid in earlier and didn't expect it to get hit, but it just did. I wanted to wait until closer to the close, but this may have to do....too expensive to get in more ...

Well, out of the following: DIA Mar13 265 CALL @ $4.50 up from $2.555 I had placed an Ask price of $4.50 thinking that was far enough away that it probably wouldn't be hit, but it was....and looking at the Bid prices, they all showed <$4.00, so must ...
