Mark: Re squeezing that extra eighth: Yep, I've been there countless times. Attending the Option Investor seminar in March really helped me out on this, for some reason. I'm now concentrating more on the right entry point and getting off my own back about finessing the exit. If I'm in a position that's kind of hairy (like this QQQ put play, for example) and see the market beginning to turn, I GTFO. Did you know that orders of ten contracts, placed to sell at the ask, are executed automatically and aren't passed through the specialists? Learning that little fact comforts me in some of my more agressive position trades.
