How about this theory (prefaced with the standard noob alert). On the daily chart the Nov 20th candle shows (albeit somewhat weak)buying pressure from about 580 after the larger run down. Assuming that most of those stops were at multi-year lows at ...

Some Euro events coming up.

I got a very small pending at 1.034 stop at 325 to try and catch a bounce. Nothing serious since as you said it's counter fundi and obviously counter trend. Also bought a few cheap BNO puts out of curiosity about a brent top at 56ish. New to options ...

Maple Syrup. Can't get a chart on that though so I'll say besides the obvious oil, trade with the USA.

I read it as change USD/CAD from neutral to sell. Losing 1.34xx (meaning <1.33xx) for year close locks levels higher than 1.41xx on USD/CAD.

UCAD. @1.34 now.

Do you think the repeat visit to 1.2xx after consolidation in current range and before dropping sub parity twice before is worth considering as a kind of repeat pattern? Not suggesting there's a sound way to trade it based on that. Maybe it happens ...

I see what you did there. Seems like price would have to be gapping fast for you to miss unwinding at your fly target though right? Guess I'll need to paper trade one to see how it feels.

Thinkorswim papermoney just finished downloading as you were posting. Going to play with that for a while before committing any real dollar to any of this stuff. I think you did answer my questions already now that I am rereading it again. Much ...

Definitely still interested. Couple dumb questions in my post above if you get around to it. Looks to me like iv has been the biggest thing on a long list of things I've been missing when I consider options. I was driving with my eyes closed. Very ...

Alright. So the premise with this spread is to play the historical pattern around earnings reports where implied volatility often rises into the event. This rise in iv will help make the puts profitable because iv is the central factor in options ...

Awesome. Calendars was my next topic for the interrogation. Didn't want to make you work on Saturday though.

Ok. Very helpful. Took me a minute to get my bearings with that video but I think I can grasp the important moving parts there. let me know if I'm getting it though. Your two longs total .98, the equal weight short is .90 making your cost for the ...

Hey Fool. Noob question on this put fly. Trying to understand the premise of the strategy. Sorry to the experienced options traders here for cluttering the thread with rudimentaries. So with AAPL up around 116 at the moment if it were to stay there ...

Cool. Tell you what. whenever eur/usd hits my level (I'll pick 1.1115...no, make it 1.110739) I'll be right. Totally right. Fireworks, champagne, everything. And I'll bray about how much experience took to know it would hit my special level. Stay ...
