How many of you guys trade options?

Do you trade option spreads?

What tools do you use?

Let us know by posting replies here.

I primarily just trade options. I made 3500 trades last year. I use Schwab's SS Pro and DTNIQ among others. I'm hoping before my renewal comes up for PSM Gold that you will be able to display options as contracts rather than shares in the dollar amount columns

It's on the list. How do you use PSM to support your options trading, if I might ask?

(It's really hard for us to get an insight into how our customers use what we build ... which is why collabinvest and these forums are so valuable)

If June rolls around and we don't have the options contract support built, send me a private message.

Hi Yermo...

I trade lots of options.

Your PSS is invaluable to me (as I have mentioned repeatedly)

I like it just the way it is!!

Sorry I am not more critical - but I believe this is still good feedback for you.

Take care!

@kfarah do you use options spread trades? Do you trade through the software or another website?

I do use spreads. But they are a very small percentage of my total options trades. I use lots of leaps, covered calls, short puts, and many other combinations.

That's what I love about options! You're only limited by your imagination!

I sometimes trade via the software - but ALWAYS log my trades in the software to track everything.

I used both Ameritrade and Schwab. I currently use Schwab (SSPro).
