Dave H and Dave S, Good thread. Nice to see a thread that sticks to the subject and has intelligent and informative posts. I was very active in options market (especially spreads) in its early days. Spreads were actually narrower on options than on Nasdaq stocks at the time. Have been an ROP in the past so anything I can contribute to the thread I will try to help. Would appreciate your comments on the following to educate me on current trading practices. Are you getting paid interest on credit balances derived from credit spreads? Recent orders I have put in on equity options at the bid or asked have not been executed and MM's have changed the quote. Is this common now? I'd rather sit on a spiked fence then place a market order on a equity option. OEX wasn't a problem. Still the case? Is it still possible to do a butterfly for a net credit (without legging a side)? One of my favorite strategies was to do OTM credit spreads with 3-6 weeks remaining and cover if it became in the money. Any thoughts on current applicability. Ken
