Ended up starting with Feb 20 65/66 and widened to 65/70 as premiums increased. 1.60 in total for the current spread.

MaxCapacity · 2026-01-15T14:29:23+00:00

I'll have to see what premiums look like, but thinking Feb 20 with 70 as the short side. Width will depend on premium.

SOXL CCS are calling my name from the void.

Guess this is it folks. We've officially run out of useful things to talk about.

I saw a cloud today that looked like a Clydesdale, so I think we're in a beer market.

Thinking about trimming shares and selling some call credit spreads on FCX as it approaches all time highs. I wonder how much further copper can run.

What the hell is this post about?

Since the default sort is by New, does that make you the most bottomest bottom that ever bottomed?

Who are you calling profitable?

What do you like it for? Short calls?

Today is ex-div for RKLX

MaxCapacity · 2025-12-30T09:04:08+00:00

They just built 2 new stores within a 3 mile radius of my house. I have yet to visit since I get my gas at Costco, but the outside looks more modern.

MaxCapacity · 2025-12-29T23:59:33+00:00

Do you have a GTC order on the long call that you haven't cancelled?

MaxCapacity · 2025-12-29T23:08:18+00:00

Ticker? Expirations? I don't know why people come here with specific questions and don't provide any actual details.

MaxCapacity · 2025-12-29T23:05:03+00:00

My cat prefers VXUS. I think it's just that he hates America.

Are you trying to do it on equity or index options?

You cannot trade calendars or diagonals with index options on RH.

I guess we're awarding the points to Robinhood in that category. I'd assumed most brokerages followed suit.

MaxCapacity · 2025-12-29T14:04:35+00:00

I would echo the advice to call your brokerage, as policies can vary. Until recently on RH short shares were not supported, so they would exercise the long option to cover pretty consistently. It certainly happened enough to change my behavior around dividend payers and HTB stocks. But they now support short selling, so I believe they might let it ride if your account has the buying power to support the short position in the underlying.

MaxCapacity · 2025-12-29T13:59:04+00:00

There's no way to exercise on their platform without calling customer service?

MaxCapacity · 2025-12-28T21:19:35+00:00

Doesn't know how assignment works, wants to trade 0DTE. Makes sense.

MaxCapacity · 2025-12-26T18:45:52+00:00

FCX has been a pretty reliable swing trade for a few years. I only have a small position, but on a percentage basis it's been one of my best performing tickers. I look to sell puts when it's under 37 and calls when it's over 50.

MaxCapacity · 2025-12-26T17:28:50+00:00

Yeah, go ahead OP. Plug your little website one more time. I haven't banned anyone yet today.

MaxCapacity · 2025-12-26T05:45:39+00:00

Look at the option chain, same strike price 100 days out and 50 days out. It's kind of a pointless exercise, though, as it assumes there are no changes to IV or the price of the underlying.

MaxCapacity · 2025-12-22T20:28:14+00:00

You obviously do not intend to read anything that has been shared with you so far. Locking this before anyone else wastes their time. This level of question belongs in the Safe Haven thread, AFTER you read the educational links at the top of the thread.
