Day Trading One Month Out Options. Learning To Skim The Tiniest Of Moves

This blog is different. It's about skimming small profits on one type of option in particular. It's also my story about how to make the time value of "one-month-out" options your very best friend. What I am about to try to describe to you is a phenomenon of wrongly calculated time values built into option pricings.

Ford 15 Calls

Yesterday I posted a blog called Ford 14 Calls. Please read it to better put this blog into perspective. Here is the action this morning.Call it the perfect storm. $500.00 in to like $4,400.00 in 90 minutes of trading.
Why did this happen this way? Well these option expired this day so if your buying in at 9:32 a.m. you only have a matter of hours to get it right. I talked about the Ford 14.5 Calls yesterday and how they exploded up. Today was a continuation of this excess exuberance. Will this occurance repeat itself next week? No. Next week series of Ford 15 Calls will be expensive to buy into because you will be paying for 4 or 5 days of trading time. The kick we saw today was a one time thing. ** Please press the upper left back button to read one of my most recent blogs about the Ford 14.5 Calls.
