Not sure how to post pictures, but pull it up. It reads RSX 5.65 Bid 5.95 (size 0) Ask 5.98 (size 0) Compare this to QQQ 337.30 Bid 336.17 (size 1) Ask 336.26 (size 6) It shows up as size 0 vs 0 when a security is halted. ...

Thanks for letting me know. Earlier I tried buying puts a few minutes prior to posting here and also just buy RSX outright on Fidelity and it gave me the error message that only closing positions were allowed. This evening on Schwab and it shows RSX as halted. Fidelity gave me the message: bu...

Have you traded options before with other brokers or is this the first time trading options on any platform? What is your general impression of Tastyworks and if you have used others before, how does it compare? I have fat fingered orders with Schwab and not realize it until later. One example, ...

I am confused as to why you think you have to exercise the options. You are not obligated to do so. You can simply close out the position and bank the profit. Did your order to buy on March 1st fill at 14:39:22 or 15:42:25? I had well over 200 calls of CLF in a few strikes last Friday with ...

AMZN is up 9% if you don't count today's "sell off from Meta earnings." The market probably also likes that they are jacking up the price of Prime. Today I was better prepared to profit, regardless of how AMZN went. I had open tickets to buy QQQ calls and puts and executed the calls once thei...
FB and QCOM were unexpected. Who could've anticipated such a massive drop in FB? The astute ones had their finger to buy QQQ puts. If you bot $1000 worth of the QQQ 363 puts expiring today right after FB earnings came out, then you could've profited over $11,000.00. This would've taken place i...

Same with RIVN puts. I decided to get in them this morning too and made $1.65 per in less than 15 minutes, but did not buy anywhere near enough. Didn't want to be too greedy, especially since I was down in most names and I got a late heads up on RIVN...

Is there data showing the probability of making a profit if bought and sold before expiration? If I hold an option until expiration, then I couldn't unload it for anything to minimize my loss and/or the cost with commissions would have been greater than the price I could get for selling it. ...
