Still a bit confused...Say I'm selling the spread for 9.75. Because both legs are deep ITM, I'd be assigned and exercised, so I'd be debited $10. (width of spread). So 10.00 - 9.75 = .25 guaranteed loss. Is that right? Thanks!Stacey

Bob, I should have answered by saying by looking at all those time frames you will just be confused all the time because the same gyrations we are studying on the daily chart happen maybe three times inside the hourly chart and up to 20 times per day...

A trader will not be successful looking at all the time frames you mentioned unless s/he is available to react to them. You need to pick one and trade it. And if necessary only look at the first quicker timeframe when you see your normal p...

In your example, if the stock closed at 100, the 150 put is worth 50, the short 150 puts you in the hole for 60 for a loss of 10, but you received a credit when you put on the trade so the total profit / loss at expiration with a stock price of 100 w...

I created a risk graph for an ITM put vertical on an index, which showed virtually no risk, (unless spike in volatility). For example, XYZ trading at 100; sell Dec 160p; buy Dec 150p. Risk graph indicates profit if goes up; basically even if stays sa...

in my opinion, when the ADX is rising it has strength.I believe there is no other way to measure its strength.And if the ADX is flat but the two DI are separating, then that also shows strength in the DI in control.

Thinking about Mikey's comments on WMT... "+di rose again and adx flattened meaning next day could be anything". Should we be relying simply on the strength of the ADX rather than whether it is flat or rising?
