Recently I have moved away from trading the indexes it's too volatile and don't have time to watch the trade all the time sure you can do longer term and not watch it as often but even then you have days like yesterday and you have to make a decision Do you adjust and watch it bounce back and...

You are asking me or in general ?

You were lucky with the recent sell off on this trade but I would not count on that happening too frequently

By Schwab do you mean TOS or some other way to get the data

Just out of curiosity where does hoadley get the data from ?

It works for a while but than something happens and it's either shoots up or gaps down and you have to be ready and deal with the consequences and hope you don't get whipsawed Just because AMY and other have traded it in the past doesn't mean it's easy or that RUT is less volatile than SPX...

In the past I would have said it would not make much difference but that's when the indexes were much lower and smaller daily moves Recently I would say it's not so easy as the indexes move a lot more and require a lot more adjusting so I have pretty much given up on trading on indexes and I...

There was an advertisement on the top row for 0DTE but when I click on it it also has the boxcar included plus it has different strategies for 0 DTE so I was wondering which one of those if any has the $500 margin requirement

That would no longer be an AIC-22 though From what I understand those trades use a naked put which would require a lot of BP which is pretty much a non starter if you try to do it on SPX Also it's much more vulnerable on a quick pull back so potentially you may have to stay in the trade a lot...

According to TastyTrade the ideal DTE is around 45DTE and than take it off at 21 DTE or 50% profit whichever comes first

I am sure it could be done but the theta decay will be a lot slower so I am not sure if you could get to the 50% profit target by that time especially if you have to make adjustments

I got TOS working today and the spreadsheet seems to be working now Just a small problem when I make a change it does not take effect until I close and reopen the spreadsheet but I think that is due to the version of excel that I have but I can deal with that Not sure how to use it but at least...

Thanks I think the unblock helped At least I got the right date and time to show up correctly which was not doing before not sure if that means the Goti is installed properly I guess you need everything to work in order to find out I was trying to load TOS but looks like it's not working it's...

How do I add the Goti financial Add in ? The option for the add in is disabled(grayed out) is there a workaround ? Should I install it in a regular excel file ? Not sure if it will work across all excel files or I have to install it in the optionsmetrix file directly

WOW! That's a big excel file Looks complicated Not even sure how to use it

What happened to the performance of Mark's income trade alerts ? I was looking at the performance chart it was looking good until the end of may than it just crashed from a little over 12k to below 10k where it started in Feb

It's hard for anyone to determine what to do when there is no reference on how the position looks at the moment A screenshot of the risk graph or perhaps the opened and closed positions list might be helpful If it's in the profit and the market is calm it should not make any difference which one...

It's working now

I am getting a server error when I click on the Member home tab The other tabs are working

I don't think that Friday entry is so critical and not a guarantee of success It is the risk vs reward and the management of the trade is more critical You can enter on Friday but if you don't manage it well or don't have the time to manage it than you may not have good results You could have...
