OMG!!! Thank you so much Cameron. I have been looking for this particular video for some time. I have seen a number of your videos and you are an amazing teacher. You take your time to walk through and explain each step. Again thank you and I will be binge watching more of your videos🤣
Wow! Thanks for that terrific feedback. Always great to hear that I've had the impact I intended. Thanks for watching, and enjoy those other videos! ^CM
Thanks Cameron!
You're welcome! ^CM
Hey Thanks Cameron this is exactly the video I was looking for. I wanted to know how to place a take profit on think or swim and also a stop loss also on my trade on thinkorswim. I had a hard time finding this video. Iam going to have to watch this video 10 to 15 more times to get it down. Also did you do a video on here about the best option chain to pick to place an option trade if you did not can you do one also Thanks so much Iam fan of your now....
Glad you found my video! As for the "best" option chain, that will vary according to each trader's specific, personal preferences. Keep watching, and I think you'll learn how the field might be narrowed to suit particular needs. Thanks! ^CM
Thanks Cameron! Is there a way to change an existing Long call or put to a vertical spread after the order has been placed?
Yes, if they prefer - and with proper options approval - a trader can sell a short option with the same expiration on the same underlying to create a vertical spread. I hope this helps, and thanks for watching! ^CM
When do we use Vertical Spread? and why use LONG instead SHORT? Thank you.
Happy to clarify! A verticals trader might employ a bullish spread whenever they think a stock is likely to go up, or a bearish spread whenever they think a stock is likely to go down. And as for Long vs Short, my video titled "Options Verticals Showdown! Trade a Credit or Debit Spread?" should be helpful: th-cam.com/video/AdEJjL6Kbqo/w-d-xo.html. Enjoy! ^CM
@@tradertalkswebcasts Thank you.
