FYI, the number that pops up on the orange tab at bottom represented new posts, but sometimes it will show a large number as “new” when they are not. This occurs when I am categorizing past posts… when I update old posts it sometimes shows them as “new” on the counter.

Author/Contributors can set preferences for Bistro, to receive (or not receive) emails when someone replies to your post, or other actions. To adjust, click your avatar in upper right of screen and select “Account Settings.” Then select “Notifications” and check the boxes you want.

If you’d like to become an Author/Contributor, just comment below or email me!

#Welcome

There are multiple ways to Search for past Posts on Bistro, including stock symbols, hashtags, strategies, by date, by Contributor.

#Welcome

For Contributor/Authors, you can use you Dashboard to set Posts for a future time or date, as well as access other settings and features.

Use a separate browser window and enter optionsbistro.wordpress.com/wp-admin. On the left you have multiple options for managing your posts, including “Posts/Add New.” Here you can add new Posts as you do on the normal site, but you also have access to many additional features, such as selecting Categories for your post, and also scheduling your post to appear at a later time (see “Publish immediately Edit” on the right).

Contributor/Authors also have exclusive access to past video Webinars by going to the Media section. Currently, the only one there is the Contango ETF Webinar.

I recommend saving this Admin/Dashboard on a separate bookmark/favorite right next to the main site, which is simply OptionsBistro.com.

If you’d like to become a Contributor/Author, reply below or email me and I’ll send you an invitation! #Welcome

#Welcome – Hello, all… I’m proud to announce you can now enter simply “optionsbistro.com” (without the wordpress part) to navigate here. And the old way will still work so no need to change your bookmarks.

Also, please become a Member/Contributor if you are not already! Simply reply below or email me any time and I will send you an invitation. You can then make your own Posts and be part of the action.

Thanks all for your involvement and enthusiasm. Much more to come, and I’m always open to suggestions!

If you would prefer to receive fewer emails from Bistro, just go to any one of the emails and click “Manage Subscriptions.” There you can choose to receive an email with a daily or weekly recap, rather than for every post.

Some people may be viewing this website through a WordPress blog reader, where you can see Posts but you won’t see all of the features available on the full site. If you do not see the colored background, with a photo or cartoon with the words “Options Bistro” at the upper right of this page, you are NOT viewing the full site. To do so, type OptionsBistro.wordpress.com directly into your browser. Then, save that as a bookmark for future easy access. If you are an Author (contributor), you will need to make sure you are logged in to WordPress each day before navigating to the site. Fell free to comment below or email me if you need help or have questions! My email is jpayne.rdb@gmail.com

Also, as always, if you’d like to be able to make your own posts, please comment below or email me so I can send you an invitation.

Thanks! Jeff

Hello Traders!

Today I launch this blog, Options Bistro.  It is meant as a place for options traders to share strategies, ideas, questions, frustrations, and knowledge with each other.  I plan for it to eventually grow into a broader site for a community of traders.

I launch at this moment to a grand total of 1 follower (myself).  I will be announcing the site once I have posted a few trades, so if you’re reading this, thanks for checking into old posts!

Please contribute…  comment or ask questions on my trades and strategies and feel free to post your own ideas or trades.

#Welcome to Options Bistro!
