Here is a hedge trade to consider in a long stock account.

Michael - thanks for following me - if you are not aware, you may also want to follow my YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@sjgtrades and my website at sjgtrades.com (it is actually pre-launch right now and still getting dialed in - but should be good to go by March 1).

You are correct on that point and I do not think TOS is a bad platform at all. In fact, I consolidated 5+ accounts and all family accounts to TOS years ago from multiple other brokers because of how good they are. My neighbor (and his son whom I used to trade with) is fairly high up the food...

I truly do appreciate the thoughts and you sharing these as they may well suit other traders' needs - for me, it is all about having a dashboard like this that I can quickly glance at throughout the day while I am working on other things. The fact that Option Traders Assistant allows me to open...

Yes Status - it can be done within reason and I have actually done a couple of sessions explaining HOW to do it. But there are some challenges with it and it gets very complex when you have multiple trades open in the same symbol like SPX and it gets even more complex if any of those trades are...

Here is a complete walkthrough of these two earnings trades I shared with my "Small Ball" options alert group at sjgtrades.com

I am starting to share more and more videos like this in my YouTube channel:

As an FYI - most platforms calculate their own greeks and as such they will very seldom agree with each other, the key is to decide which one you want to work with and then base your decisions on that specifically.

Ah - did not think about the data feed being broker provided. As a possible thought, I know years ago you could set up an account for about $100 at TOS and then have all of the functionality and data that million-dollar accounts have - so while it may be more trouble than it is worth - it may...

Guy - I am certainly sorry to hear of your experience with ONE as well and I certainly hope that I did not draw undue attention to this group. Like you, I only asked a basic question of their tech support back in Nov and the next thing I know I was being accused of all sorts of things. I...

Thanks so much Dave and you obviously know your way around the workings of computers WAY MORE than I do. I do know that Parrallels is configurable, while I understand what you are seeing, prior to going to the mac, I used a PC with 32 gb of Ram and decent processor and still found ONE to choke...

Yes, I have pushed the 64-bit on a PC equally as hard, but unfortunately, the 64-bit version of the software does not yet run on an M1 Mac in Parallels, it seems only the 32-bit version does, and it chokes pretty rapidly.

Srk, for clarification, are you doing this on the 32 bit version of the program or the 64-bit version? I am assuming the 64 bit version and probably on a PC as well, but if for some reason you are able to log that amount of trades on the 32 bit version on an M1 Mac in Parallels, I will start...

Thank you - the 32 bit version seemed to be OK for me up to about 5 trades as I recall, then it started to choke and I had to go to the 64 bit (which does not work on M1 mac at this time).

Z - how many trades do you have open at a time and do you find that ONE crashes or stalls if you have more than 5-6 open at a time? I had previously been able to run the 32 bit version on windows 11, but I often have 15+ trades open across 3 accounts and the 32 bit could not handle it at the...

I have posted on this before - but PLEASE be aware of this: https://www.loom.com/share/9fc8560fbd104714b8002864aa95e322 ONE assigned fill prices can be DRAMATICALLY different from your actual fills - so be sure to keep an eye on that.

I have the 16" M1 Mac Laptop.

The new Mac's are AWESOME, very fast, very quiet, my fan has never kicked on in about 1 year of use at this point. You will love it.

I often have 15-25 trades open at a time across 3 accounts, so I could not use it and gave up trying. At the time I tried it a few months back - I tried both the regular and Beta versions and the regular version seems fairly stable (again with only a few open trades) and the Beta version would...
