Okay so I have looked into it. ToS only uses Bjerksund-Stenslad for IV. But for some reason everything is all synced back up. I even got a demo of CQG trader to verify and everything is back withing 1.5% so I must have been getting bad data from IB for some reason ( probably due to it being a...

Thanks for the info guys. Tos is on Individual Implied Vol. Any way to change ToS from 365 to 252? Or IB to 365? I mean I guess I could always us a options calc that lets me change the days from 365 to 252, but that would be time consuming. I messed around with the DIff setting in TOS and didnt...

Hello ET! I am looking for a broker that will allow me to trade a wide range of options on futures with a decent/customizable platform. What I currently use: ThinkorSwim: I really like this platform and TDAmeritrade a ton, but it does have two major drawbacks. 1. TDAmeritrade has a really poor...

It would not be as simple as looking at Deltas between .03-.05 because those would not be within the 3rd and 4th SD of the current price. If we assume that a delta of .03 means you have a 3% chance of expiring ITM then that would put you between the 2nd and 3rd SD. You will need to look at...

As far as I know you can trade as many times in and out as long as you meet the intra-day margin requirements, or the overnight margin requirements (usually this is x4 the intra-day requirement) if you hold past the close at each day. There is no expectation for you to exit a trade before the...
