My Option Trades: Learning New Strategy
http://myoptiontrade.blogspot.com/2006/06/learning-new-strategy.html
Diary of My Trades. My tools: Platinum, ThinkorSwim and ProfitSource. Saturday, June 17, 2006. I am experimenting with a new strategy which seems promising. I am going to put up a few paper trades over the course of next 2 weeks and see how they perform. Here is the first one:. Is this a bullish or a bearish trade? One of the questions I have on this strategy is that the spread seems too high. Not sure at what price can I enter such trades. Those with Optionetics Platinum can track the trade here.

My Option Trades: April 2006
http://myoptiontrade.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Diary of My Trades. My tools: Platinum, ThinkorSwim and ProfitSource. Saturday, April 15, 2006. How to trade earnings using Fly? In this post, I am attempting to use a butterfly to trade earnings. Stock I am using is SNDK. The earnings expectation has shot up the IV of the options. Earnings on 20 April. Fly benefits from a IV crush. However, a high IV implies that traders are expecting a big move in stock. So ATM fly is ruled out. How about a directional fly. Sounds like a good idea. Links to this post.

My Option Trades: I am toying with a new idea - Double Cal
http://myoptiontrade.blogspot.com/2006/04/i-am-toying-with-new-idea-double-cal.html
Diary of My Trades. My tools: Platinum, ThinkorSwim and ProfitSource. Monday, April 10, 2006. I am toying with a new idea - Double Cal. I was reading the Option Trader Mag, a free monthly e-magazine where they were talking about Double Spreads. I thought why not try one (on Paper). So here you go: One on SPY. This is essentially 2 calendars (May - June 128 put and 130 call). Max risk is $135. However, BE and max reward are sensetive to IV. The vega of this trade is $9.79. I will write more about is later.

My Option Trades: February 2006
http://myoptiontrade.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Diary of My Trades. My tools: Platinum, ThinkorSwim and ProfitSource. Sunday, February 19, 2006. Here is the Option Trade for this month. It broke above 50 day MA. 100 day MA could act as support. This is also in general vicinity of chart support. The TAPP target per AGET is 131.85 by end March. Looking at following IC. 125/132 IC for credit of $25. Max risk = $75. Max Profit (Less commission) = $25-(4 * 1.5 2*1.5) = $16. Max Return: 21.33%. I am looking at 125/131 IC. What if the bull run continues:.
