Chris, May be you are going to cover this somewhere, but why not just stay in the trade only for a month or less and get one dividend and move on to next trade? I know transaction costs will eat into it, but on the other hand, I am going to save on interest. What is the advantage of 6 month trade vs short trade?

I have margin account why is my maintenance margin so high for this trade?

Want to express a frank opinion for frank responses. I tried Steady Options for a few months and stopped. It was hard to do these trades with a full time job. I am willing to put in intense learning and go through these stages but I am told this is suitable only for $25K portfolio. If that is the case I can not generate enough income to support my family trading this strategy. My question is has anyone tried and got steady returns, say on a $250K/$500K portfolio? If yes then, it is worth the effort for me, otherwise I am not sure.

Is there any video showing how to use VolitilityHQ software. I subscribed but disappointed to find there is not much help available on how to use it. Official thread has such discussion that is not directly relevant and it takes hours to scan through to find what you need. I would be keen on a video that shows how we use it for analyzing option strategies used at SO.

I am new to SO and may be this is answered some where else, but I could not locate it. When a trade is recommended, you also shows the debit amount per contract that it was executed at. Sometime it is not possible to get the trade at that price. In general how much higher can we go over the price you executed the contract at. Obviously this can have a great impact on the portfolio performance.
