Amen to that, TF!! Too bad a lot of people don't realize that when it comes to currency trading...there would be a lot less bickering back and forth!

I post them on the thread here so they can be tracked. I always check the futures premarket to see if they are pointing to a large up or down day. Naturally, if they are big up (>50), I don't get into a PUT and the opposite with the CALLs. So I may ...

I'll look tonight after the close and see what things look like. But most likely, there will be a couple out there worth looking at...

DIA Oct19 256 CALL up to $2.25 from $1.60 Probably has some more upside to it tomorrow towards $258, but DIA is a skittish thing with Bid/Ask, so like I said, I like to get in and get out while it's moving.

Relax, those should make you some money. Keep an eye on CVS, as it's due to pop up shortly, and if it has enough momentum, it may try to close that gap at $79. Just remember you can always buy to close to lock in profits. May not be the full ...

TF, do you ever trade any of the volatility options, like VIX or VXN? I think there is one for Brazil, but I don't remember what it is. I know there is for China. Odd little animals, they have a Wednesday settlement instead of Friday trading, and ...

Thanks. Hopefully Brazil will be good to you! DIA Oct19 256 CALL at $1.60 before the close. Should make some money with that next week. Since DIA is the spider for the DJIA, I like to get in and get out while it's moving, otherwise the spreads ...

FFIV Oct19 170 CALL up to @ $2.75 from $1.55 SPGI Oct19 190 CALL up to $1.60 from $0.50 DIA Oct19 257 CALL no trade I'll probably make a CALL for DIA right before the close. I'll post here if so...

And if futures are not down a lot premarket (<50), the following should be good for some money: DIA Oct19 257 CALL @ $1.74 or better FFIV Oct19 170 CALL @ $1.55 or better SPGI Oct19 190 CALL @ $0.50 or better Since all the greeks reset over the ...

Needless to say, futures were down again, so no entry yet. Maybe tomorrow, since the Dow came off it's lows for the day....

Let's Trade Options

I would think that after such a big drop in the DOW today, we will get a flat or up pre-market futures tomorrow. If futures are flat or up, these should do well. If futures are down, I wouldn't enter a trade at the open, except maybe DIA.... DIA ...

Didn't get into these and tried to post a comment over the weekend on my phone but it still hasn't shown up yet. I thought the markets would be down after Saturday's vote so there was no use in getting CALLS when the market is probably moving down. ...

Regardless of how informative the documentary is, it certainly won't be as entertaining as this thread!!………….

Well said. I think many traders feel the need to make trading way more difficult than it needs to be. Just my two pips.....

I'm not sure if I'm getting this right or not, but does that mean you: Bought Jan 46 CALL Sold Nov 45 CALL Bought Nov 42 PUT Sold Dec 43 PUT Like I said, I'm not sure if I got this right or not, just trying to understand what you did and why you did ...

Here is a couple that look pretty good for the next few days: FFIV Oct19 185 CALL @ $1.90 or better SPGI Oct19 195 CALL @ $2.10 or better

Update on the two open trades: WBA Oct5 73.5 PUT up to $1.20 from $1.10 SBUX Oct5 67 PUT up to $1.10 from $0.55 Both probably have more downside the next day or two, but both hit support early and faltered, so a good time to get out (WBA hit 10EMA ...

The only way I can see to make it better with the trades I like to take would be to sell PUTS or CALLS in the opposite direction of my trades. Otherwise, I don't see a way to make more % return with less risk trading the stock moves that I do now, ...

Some people want the prestige of being able to say they are Vice-President of this or Chief-whatever of that, and some people don't care about titles, but more about the money. Depends on how you're wired, I suppose. Heck, San Francisco has a 'Poop ...
