It looks great. Where can i sigh up?

[Kev2128]

Hey Skip. He has a great formula i bought from him in Jan and i use it and been making $$$$ and it's pretty easy to learn. He has a twitter but hasn't been on for awhile. I know he ended up making a private twitter for $350 a month where he tweet his plays which was a big to much for me.. Let me know if you want the formula and i will make you a deal.

[SkipSurf]

Nice trades. I am an option spread trader myself. Do you have a paid service where I could sign up?

[SkipSurf]

Does he have a website to sign up ?

[Kev2128]

He is doing a private twitter with his plays now. No more free plays here..

[Frogeater]

look at the board picture

[trading.jeff]

Where is the screenshot? tia.

[zivtheziv]

Ok guys screenshot results is live - 19% profit so far and 9k in the last month :)

[zivtheziv]

Yes, I never trade weekly

[JLS]

You must be kidding.

I see you open two recent trades in January, and you only post the expiration month. Since there are weekly options, that's pretty imprecise.

So am I to always assume all your trades expire third weekend?

[zivtheziv]

2015... :)

[JLS]

Don't understand answer.

What does 15 represent?

[zivtheziv]

Feb15 the expiry month.
No typo

[JLS]

Feb 15?

By 15 I'll assume you mean day, not year.

I've seen you use that number twice, so it's not a typo.

Do you know that's a Sunday?

[casem]

Thank you for the response, i have some additional questions. Is there an email i can reach you with?

Thank you.

[zivtheziv]

Hey how are you?

Good thing you are interested in options that's a good start :)

Regarding learning, two options are for you.

One option that some people here are using is learning with me over skype 1 on 1 on the phone or on the skype session which could be little expensive for the people with no funds, feel free to PM me for details. but if you have spare funds, this is the best way to invest in your future education.

Second option is to just get my math formula that I use for $250 donation via paypal and it's a good way as well but it doesn't give you access to, well, me :)

Let me know what would you like to do

Oil prices keep sinking, futures down again. Can't believe you have the guts to sell USO puts again. Good luck my friend.

[zivtheziv]

Morning All,

I will write call spreads on $INTC for 10% insurance and around $600 income

[zivtheziv]

Hey there,

First I also like this time of year :)

I take the trades the math formula gives me.

I use earnings since I think each stock is exactly the price that it should be not more no less and the math calculates the % the market could be wrong either way.

Plus allot of speculations going around and good liquidity so in most cases the selling options people will make money while the buying options people will say up down up down and eventually lose allot of money buy gambling on a direction.

[gtober]

Ziv, I am curious as to your philosophy around the earnings window. Do you simply take trades that you otherwise would have, with the benefit of knowing that earnings will create extra volatility or do you take stock specific plays because of the earnings season. Wondering if you assume more risk at this time, less risk?

I always liked these times of year.

[zivtheziv]

Morning,

I will write call spreads on EBAY today for 10% insurance should be safe trade

[zivtheziv]

I actually like $RIG at the price of today that I will let it expire and have it as stocks in my account.

I understand how other people can do so, but I have no isseus with tide funds so I'm happy to buy $RIG at around $15 instead of $30 just two months ago...

[gtober]

Ziv, I used to roll forward options on losing trades that I wrote. On RIG for instance - I don't remember the original parameters - if you wrote Jan. you could close the loser trade, and re-write for the same or similar strikes for Feb. Roll the trade into a new month, gain a bit of extra time premium, and most important, keep the cash in the account.

Its not foolproof, as nothing usually is, but it does 'buy' time for you by selling more time. Might be a worthwhile addition to your system.

Nice thread. I have been following for a few months now.
