If you still an answer after my post let me know. You can do stops in equities. You asked a clear question, however as noted, an option is not a stop...so remove the analogy from your mind. Your understanding is correct, if if you buy a 2 month Call and the stock drops to 10 or anything, as long...

Did you get a useful answer from anyone? I've never understood why queries are attacked...but such is life. If you had the stomach to read all the responses to your post, some of them, hopefully most were not negative, then you're on your way...it's takes some intestinal fortitude and a plan. If...

Dark Pools etc.. Well said. I would add, the use of dark pools shows that size of the portfolio does not prevent clients from getting taken advantage of and the use of what is now called internalization is the same as the idea that no haggling car pricing means the buyer is getting the best...

Why are you trying to trade yourself instead of working with someone experienced? What are your objectives..principal protection, cashflow, both...I'm not going to say be prepared to lose your money...that mindset would have to exist for trading stocks. When used effectively and if it is your...

How much are you trading with and are you trading Equity Options?

Hello, you have been given some good advice. Don't be offended but the issue is always strategy. You are not buying stocks you are trading Options. The reason your strategy now works with SPY is that your strategy is ok for what you want to accomplish....you just have to diversify. Their is...

Hmmm...without correcting the math. Using what you have: 100 shares of a a $20 stock would cost you $2000. The options at a $1.00 for that same 100 shares of the $20 stock cost $100(Premium) $2000 vs $100.....where are the hairs to split regarding cost? Options allow you to reduce you...

Not sure what you traded to get 100x leverage and Options themselves are not marginable, i.e. your firm my give it to you, but the contracts themselves are not marginable and like someone else posted...your fees require looking into. Your post doesn't clarify If your broker executed strategies...

"Any way, options are great, but like every thing else about trading you have to learn about them first." Indeed.

Who said that Options are risk-free? I did not get into cost. My comment, again for a new trader was to investigate that market and that Options allow you to protect your investment and generate cash-flow.

Hi, I appreciate the civility. However, I'm not clear why I would do that? ... give anyone a trading strategy or strategies to help them make money? My partial interest in the New Comer thread, was for someone like the person whose post I replied to. A novice looking for investment "options"...

Comedy.... Before you refer to someones post as "crap" and suggest "banning" other commentators....know what you are talking about. You wouldn't "recommend" what you referred to as day trading...but clearly you do not have the experience or knowledge of Options market to have an opinion at all...

Per your last comment: "...How about losing the "I am better than all of you attitude" and maybe you can engage in a discussion properly..." You should have taken your own advice before making negative comments about something you clearly know nothing about. If I had a "...better...

You decided to make a comment about something you clearly no nothing about and referred to my post negatively. I did not provide said strategy...why would I? I stated risk-neutral strategies assure no loses can be structured in Options. This sir is Options 101. You can guarantee...

You don't know what you are talking about or you misunderstand. How is trading stocks, less risky than trading Options on Stocks? In the stock market you have unlimited risk, with Options your risk is defined and if structured properly risk-neutral. Are there any Options traders here, or at...
