FSU, thanks! I also only see them doing the nite session.

Thanks. What I am looking for is can see very good profits at nite on a spread, but can not grab them. They have done what want, have hit profit target, but can not sell, thus is higher risk without being able to sell as in morn those profits may be gone. When you sell out a limit price you...

At TD the platform updates prices and P/L realtime for trades in after market, but they do not trade them, said afraid customers would get stuck in them due to poor liquidity. IB seems to, here is their page on them with hours https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/trading/cboe-nanos.php Have...

Hi, just sent you a PM

Lots of good comments. Thanks guys. Well I had trades on, which did not pull off, that lost big yesterday, counter the otion models. Premkt TOS is telling me I will make it 2X back today. Will believe it when see it.

Sounds like you have the best. Maybe someone should put you up for a Noble.

Thanks. Yes, they have bugs I told them about 20 years ago, still in the program. You do not know what your option commisions will be, it varies trade to trade, and fills are terrible on stocks. Fidelity fills are so good that at market they often give you better than mid on stocks. IB...

I have not trarded options much at IB for years, so not sure. Normally bring up spread thing in workstation and it works. Think it does pair them. Your thoughts on it?
