Trading Site of the Day -- One Option: Option Trading Blog

Pete Stolcers has a blog called OneOption in which he discussed the theory behind option trades as well as showing real trades.

In his February 13 article, he talks about spreads. He discusses when to get in, how to get in, what happens when you are close to an expiry date, and examines some considerations on how to get out. He also discusses how he finds a suitable candidate for a trade.

As part of the analysis, he also examines the overall market situation. By thinking about the general, followed by some fundamental analsysis, he then generates a 'feeling' as to where things might go.

So, by what I just mentioned in the last paragraph, he isn't just a technical analsyst. He does examine each symbol's fundamentals and latest news to help justify his feelings as to where a trading instrument might be heading.

Initial posts to his blog were few and far between. Perhaps he may maintain more frequent posts in the here and now. Anyway, there is useful information there for a practitioner to learn from.
