  • Question from Wael Randa - What service do you offer to help options traders. Also I am looking for a scanner to spot big order block by investors. Any free or paid service. Thanks a lot, Samuel.
  • Question from John King - @Options could you discuss trade entry for Iron butterfly/condor (ignoring commish)-all at once vs. leg verticals vs. buy strangle then sell straddle?
  • Question from Fred Blackes - Geez, you guys are great.  Why is it that you were the only ones who read the FIO options actions April 25 2013 correctly?  Everybody else had the trader/Hedgie buying the Sept 24 calls. Do you offer any service for learning/advisory
