How do you unwind from the negative side of a straddle option when I am option trading?
Mark W asked:
I am trying to learn more about option trading. I know how to use calls and puts and have made money doing this. But I now want to get involved in straddles, spreads and selling options. So if I am using a straddle how do I unwind from the negative side of the straddle when the stock is moving away from that side? How do I use a spread and how do I sell a seccessful option?

Is it true that Market Makers will pin an option between strikes?
bob g asked:
I have been trading options for 7 years now and have noticed that sometimes options with high open interest on the calls and puts will be pinned down until the position expires. Is this true or just circumstance? Either way it seems suspect.
