  1. It is being a nice winner so far. Good call Sean.
  2. Vix Futures look ugly right now..
  3. To trade oil I like USO instead of a single company. But Kim doesn`t advise stradddles on ETFs
  4. The assignment notice reached me yesterday, Saturday.
  5. Hi all Last friday I was assigned (TOS) a Spy May15/212.50 short Call. The stock closed at 212.44, so the option was OTM. Can anyone explain how this is possible to happen and why? Thks.
  6. The new version of ONE software, released today, comes with a bug and cannot run it. Is someone else affected by this issue?

    IB Data

    10.00/month, not waved, right?
  8. Came across the suggestion that IB accounts which were opened through their affiliates in Canada and UK are not protected by SIPC. I wonder if someone has accurate information about this. Thanks.
  9. Regarding the GLD the trade has been more like, say, an "outgo" producer lol. But this one has been a good trade. Thks. Chris.
  10. At least, with puts, you would only loose the value of your investment, unlike the risk of shortting an animal like uvxy...
  11. Don`t you think it is safer to do it with DITM puts?
  12. If my records are correct I only need about $200,00 more to get payed for the entire long (my ratio is 1:1). Do you think I should roll anyway?
  13. Bought back my Sep20/137 short an not rolling for now. Kept my long put and might go a little further in the money.
  14. Yes, it was 14 ctrs. But which sense does it make?
  15. SLD 14 Stock USD ASSIGNED 08:12:17 null This information showed today at my IB plattform "Trade Log". Does anyone know what this means?
  16. Are`t we rolling this one today?
  17. That was done yesterday. Do you mean roling to the 166Put?
  18. Our short July19/164Put is currently OTM. Should we roll It?
  19. Hi Kim Sorry for bringing this conversation again; but now we can buy the July 450C for +- 0.50. Wouldn`t it be a good shot rolling it to july26 and take some money off the table?
  20. Hi Max Only for educational purposes, would you explain the point of rolling now? 120 Put still has 1.96 extrinsic value and we can capture some intrinsic either, if the trend remains... Thks
  21. Just received my user/password for my new TDAmeritrade account but cannot find a link to download TOS. Do anyone know if I have to fund first? Thanks.
  22. Are you guys sure that Chris calculations of the weekly value we need to capture are right? We bought 2 long puts for each short, so we need the double, isn`t it?
  23. Don`t you take in consideration the profit we made on 1st. roll?
  24. We should be more concerned about the GLD sinking. I`m afraid our short put is getting too much in the money..
