I have made this thread a Sticky in the Options subforum. Thanks to all contributors.
I also want to mention I am currently soliciting @ron99 to do some futures.io (formerly BMT ) webinars on options. Please encourage him

@ Ron99,
Count me as one who would be interested in an options selling webinar!
I am currently selling weekly options on ES. I've been at it for 8 months and have been doing well with it.
Any opportunity I have to learn from those who have been doing it for as long as Ron99, I will jump at that!
Hope it happens.

I only come to this thread about 20 times a day to see what pearls of wisdom Ron will drop next, so yes, I would definitely love to see a webinar.

I have been considering selling on the weekly ES options also for some time. The videos that Ron posted a few weeks back on YouTube have sidetracked about 80% of my attention the ES. Any insight you have on your weekly selling strategy would be most appreciated...
Looking at the June contract ....
My murky crystal ball sees a double top on the horizon with less volume and bearish divergence in the RSI..Pullbac on the way.....we'll see...

Ron,
Can you use PC_SPAN to calculate/project what margin is likely to be on a position if there is an averse move against it?
This is just an example, not real...if I'm short 1 ES WK2 1500 put with an initial margin requirement at entry of $2,354 while ES is trading 1577...can I model what the margin requirement is likely to be on that same WK2 1500 put if ES is trading at 1550 in 3 days? Or at 1530 in 6 days?
Any information you can provide is appreciated.
