I use Regal ($29.) over the phone. But when I start the "option's club" - I want to trade online. Maybe Pacific @ $15. for up to 8 contracts. tradepbs.com I think the "straddle" experiment would take a lot of work to do it right. (backtesting) I don't have much time. Maybe we can follow it casually, and get a sense of if it working or not. A lot of times it seems like it works - but when you do the math - you probably end up breaking even at best. Maybe its more trouble then its worth. I don't know. I follow chart trends. The strangle strategy seems good - but it is kind of expensive since you have to buy both options. I'm also looking into a split strategy. A couple of days ago - I was thinking of buying Dell calls - but they are SO EXPENSIVE. But the stock keeps going up!! Comments? J
