Matt can you elaborate on how you choose your strike prices?
Besides obvious support/resistance zones, do you look at
anything like certain strikes having more volume or anything?
Also in choosing the expiration dates is there a certain time
frame you always use (like say 6-8 weeks out) or are
there other factors (like monthly vs weekly options) that you
use to determine the best expiration dates? And count me in on the
option service. I would love to try that. I have
traded spreads with another service for awhile but they only
use bull put spreads monthly and they never really explain
the "why" behind the trade. Would love to learn more on
choosing different type spreads, etc. Thanks
jerkelly - there's a myriad of things I look for.
Generally I'm looking for extremes, places where I think
there are low odds for the SPX to move in a certain time etc, and
of course I have to find options that are well priced to play that.
If I do bring such a service there'll also be a series of
educational guides and examples I'l give every one
