    Sorry for the double post but another question is. Does it matter that you bought the 76? What if you bought 77,78,79...etc. Wouldn't those have gone up as well when the FB stock was moving upwards? Or does it move less because they aren't ITM?

    the strike prices have a price change according to the deltA. strikes further out have less delta and will move less per )1 move on underlying. i has a weekly call; I needed something closer to current price. I recalled $77 as the prev low for last week (so it would be a top now), so I bought a 76 thinking that if it could go through 77 jt sould get bought up to 80 but when it has a red candle on the 5 min. I just closed.

    thinking to do a trigger put trade on Nflx. if it breaks 376 to the downside then the levels are as follows: 369; 356;340;332

    I closed half my position at 1201 as it is basically at my first price target. Just wanted to lock in some profits in front of US GDP.

    1179.40 looks to be the logical target and should have strong support there.

    I'm looking at a move to about 1000-1050 next. I think this next move is going to occur faster than most people think. Then some bounce from there.

    I've been bearish since about May(first talk of Fed taper) through November 2012, where I built a short position from about 1650-1750. I covered most around 1250-1300 in the past year and a half.

    Gold market has been a great technical market for the past few years.

    so the option quoting system crashes, no live data feed of prices.This is legit! I'll just estimate the intrinsic value and make up a bid and sell. Glorious!

    Does anyone here actually work in finance? Or is this just a hobby/wealth growth tool?

    I apologize if this has been asked multiple times.

    I used to work in investment banking, but now I trade for myself. Robbie380 works at a proprietary trading group.

    I'm not sure if there are any Financial Advisors on this thread if that's what you are looking for.
