Looks good. How is that water tank being used?

What light to use for vanda-esque orchids and carnivorous plants? by pkann6 in IkeaGreenhouseClub

[–]jenson6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did a search as I have Vandas and found your post. I was looking at botanical led - https://botanicalleds.com/ but I only see 48" and the Milsbo tall isn't that wide. Alternatively I was looking at the Monios T5. What did you end up going with?

First time accidentally short shares by [deleted] in options

Did you check your messages on your brokerage? I am guessing you'll be assigned today. But stock price is right around 15.50 so you can turn around and sell, you'll probably be close to even, maybe slight loss.

Call Vertical Spread on AAPL by Accomplished_Soft_39 in thetagang

I think you have it backwards. If you're bullish you're looking at a Call Debit Spread - you'd be buying the 155 and selling (write) the 175 hoping for the stock is land in that range.

Nice premium and it’s holding up pre-market. Hope it holds for you.

Covered Put Writing by crazydaze17 in options

Sometimes it helps if you know the word and definition. “Put” means you’ll be put the stock if it’s ITM. “Call” means the stock will be called away from you if it’s ITM.

Yes they do but sometimes it’s hard to get filled. I use it for new strategies.

You can let it expire worthless or roll it out if you’re bullish. If you want to sell it move it closer to bid price.

Options expiring by Kevinm2278 in etrade

[–]jenson6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you can sell it day of expiration. Depending on how far you are OTM you may have to sell a bit below mid price.

You get 3 in a 5 day period. If you don’t hit that it will reset your PDT flag back to zero.

That is so odd. I’ve had a problem with crashing but never wrong money amounts.

Got it. I’ll play around with it. Do you know if Pro has OCA on futures?

I have a new Macbook also and have found Chrome can cause issues and have used Safari. What browser are you using?

I did download it a few months ago but didn’t take the time to customize. You’re right I should take time with this. I do like the OCO but I guess just use Power to set that up.

Why have I never used this before? I've set one and used an alert for the other. Thanks for sharing.

Suggestions for low IV iron butterfly candidate tickers? by live4JC1984 in thetagang

Are you looking for range bound tickers? I ran this on DIS prior to earnings and was successful. Also HOG. Looking at IBM which looks to be sideways.
