RFF, I got in trouble last month for using the term max-pain. Something that has been in my lexicon since one of the original lunch room CBOE traders 'splained options to me many moons ago - 10 years maybe? Anyway, some guy on SI thinks he has just coined the term and ..... What I was looking for is the minimum payout Strike for put and call writers come next Saturday. I could calculate myself with difficulty. My box typically has a heart attack and locks up when I try do download the full chain of AMZN options from CBOE since there are more AMZN options than SPoos! And I can't figure out how to just get all the current month contracts only, outside of calling each one individually. If you can help, that would be great - many of us would appreciate it! Regards, IS
