Re: [TheOptionClub.com] ?



Yeah...I'm feeling a bit skeptical about IC's now....and spreads in general. I thought these were rather conservative trades. I'm glad I only sold one contract.

I should have stayed away from a pharmaceutical co., though. I was doing fairly well until that debacle.

Some like indices for this very reason because equities can make big moves whereas indices tend move more slowly. However, this doesn't mean they won't move against you over the life of the trade.

A couple of things:

I'd appreciate some suggestions on fixing a trade.

RUT Aug 09 IC
440P/450P/580C/590C
1.95 credit

Also...I got killed today on an AMGN IC. One trade lost all profits (and created a net loss) since going live (a few months of work). Hmmm...should I not use equities for IC trades?

Thanks,

Carmelo
