I haven't been able to download the latest update and log in to my TOS account since this Saturday, January 18. I keep getting stuck at the update screen. Anyone else experiencing the same problems?

Cheers. Read all except Rookie's Guide to Options (but read Natenberg) and Trade With Passion (will check that one out). From this list, I can confirm that Trading in the Zone is really top-notch, but it is psychological stuff, nothing actionable. I like Carter for his actionable ideas...

Care to elaborate on why you feel sorry for me? Which book do you find value in? Thanks.

Could you post the link to the BRIC-debunking thread, please? Thanks.

Hello, I am looking for a high quality options backtesting software that is able to backtest not only P/L, but also Greeks and draw historical options payoff charts. I am currently using PaperMoney from ThinkOrSwim which is ok, but one can only backtest P/L in there and not Greeks. I know...

Hello everyone, I have been trying to create a paper money demo with TOS for options analysis (I trade at IB). However, I keep getting an error message even when trying to create the account from a U.S.-based proxy server. TDI customer support wasn't able to help me. Anybody has experience...
