You can post your views about any market and trade ideas using options.


I started focusing in Just Weekly bars.
Buy a bunch of out of the money calls /sell out the money puts with 12 months to expire if the dot is green.
buy puts /sell calls if the is red.
Use your own rules to ST and TP.

Put options are the right to sell that index at a future point in time at previously determined prices.
Csll options are the right to buy that index at a future point in time at previously determined prices.

IF USING THINKORSWING PLATFORM
this is how I prefer to build any multi legged trade
set the option spread filter to single
and then hold down CTRL while you click on the bid for the leg you want to sell and the ask of the leg that you want to buy
if you want to sell 2 of one leg while you hold down CTRL click on the bid twice

"NAS100 PUT UP BIG %"

UK's Theresa May disastrous election result turned out not to be a market mover.

Summer approaching, traders unloaded their tech stocks (in NAS100), and bought Bank stocks in anticipation of Fed rate hike next week (good for banks). Sector rotation going on huge today. Dow up (record high), NAS down 110, and Russell up. VIX spiked up from a low of 9.6 to a high of over 12.1 intraday. Looking for more things to sell naked options on if volatility goes up further.

"NAS100 PUT UP BIG %"

Good call on your NDX bearish put ratio spread trade if you had put in on per your June 2 post #7. Congrats.
How did you come up with the expectation of NDX going down before September expiration, when the FANG stocks were going up with such strong momentum recently?

This trade is based in seasonality.
in the past 30 years June is a bad month for stock.

Selling the 5860 call
buying the 6100 put
and selling 3 out of the money 5600 puts
still open trade

I don't have much experience about the FXB seasonality you mentioned. I just looked at a chart for it, and think need to be cautious. The big gap down last Friday for one thing. Then saw June and July for the last two years to be bearish. On top of that, the failed parliament election threatens the power and agenda of Theresa May therefore may affect the Brixit plans and more turmoil in the pound. The terrorist attacks in London in the past weeks could also hurt commerce and tourism short-term. I wonder how much weight these may affect the seasonality...?

NAS100 several records high,the odds favor a pullback this month.

I don't trade ratio spreads, prefer vertical spreads and delta-neutral strategies.
How do you measure stop loss (by volatility aka options prices or by underlayer)?
