Hey Thanks Carl!! I tested some of them, seems to be an affiliation with monstertrade, but I decided upon OptionssXpress virtual trade. I grasped the basic concept of options. Started to learn about credit/debit spreads etc - very confusing stuff. I wonder how others began learning...

for USA citizens I'm from Europe so they said I cant make an account with them

I see How much is few? (Money's tight) Could you name a haggle able broker you had the experience of working with? And is demo really that inaccurate? In Forex Demos are more or less identical, as the live feed, except the commission feeds are not deducted.

It makes sense. But raises more questions than it answers :)

Hello folks :) I'm looking for Demo account to practice trading Options. I found "Lightspeed" but they offered my only 5 days of demo, and other brokers that I found require me to make a real account (without funding) in order to get to use their demo. And that usually requires me to send...

There is more value to the option before expiry than .... <--- this This means that it's almost always not economic to exercise early <------ and this. They seem like contradictions, ummm Don't they?

Alright Could you please tell me why it wouldn't be worthwhile? I would be very interested to hear!! Having Long call 2 month option, being in the money I notice in the last week's Monday I notice that the underlying stock is making a strong reversal. Wouldn't it be more profitable to exercise...

I think I stumbled upon the answer: Limited Risk Risk for the long call options strategy is limited to the price paid for the call option no matter how low the stock price is trading on expiration date. Example nr 2: Suppose the stock of XYZ company is trading at $40. A call option...

Np I explained my question in original post, but maybe I made it unclear. In Forex you have a stop loss. Lets say I set my stop loss to -450 dolars. Once the SL is hit, the position closes. Does the same happen in options? As in my previous example; If I have Long Call position of XYZ stock...

Thanks But that still totally disregards what I was asking! Am I being super dumb here? Is my question so inadequate?

I did search for this. But how am I to define this exact scenario in a searchable term Couldn't.. Nothing specific came up. Also, I've read over 80 slides on options and this question still bothers me. Edit: Thanks for the link! But, it still doesn't clarify what I asked. It says that I can...

Hello community. How are you :) I'm new here and am taking some online courses to learn about options. I am a bit baffled by one thing at the moment: How much loss can I get on a Long Call/Put position? For example: I have a Long Call position of XYZ stock May 80 trading at 4.5 usd (450)...
