    Trader-Dale reviews?

    Reading his book on volume profile shows he probably doesn't know math well. On page 143 he talks about red coming out 32 times in a row on roulette as being the "world record" (it is insinuated this is a fair wheel). Now he probably just googled this, as I got the same stat as number one...

    Trader's home office deduction question

    Be warned taking home office deduction, triggers audits more often than not. I know a guy who was audited 3 years in a row for taking a home office. He didn't have to pay any penalty but be aware.

    Is there historical data for options?

    Tds thinkback is about as good as you'll get for something free, however it's just a snapshot of closing historical prices that could be wrong or not accurate to what the options were actually trading. Take a look you will sometimes see huge bid ask spreads even on liquid tickers.

    Rebates on wash sales?

    That's a good point, furthermore the complaint states they plan to continue doing this in the future, so they are seeking an injunction.

    Early assignment and pin risk basic questions:

    Here is how it would work to do what you want to do. Stock is at 100. You own a 50 call deep in the money little or no premium yet can't get filled. You can sell short @ 100 and then exercise your call option same day (notify broker by 4pm). The next day your short will be covered when you...

    Tastytrade Review + Criticism

    TT imo is just an infomercial to drive commissions to TDAM. Here is how I know. Tom will never give you his P/L percentage, probably because it is negative and considered a business expense. However everything he says implies and edge selling vol at high IV rank. Sorry, but there is no...

    What's the current view of Tasty Trade after Karen-the-Faker?

    The sad part about Karen Burton, super trader or jailbird, is that TOM still defends her. She is a mini Madoff... period. If her strategy was an honest one of rolling until it goes her way, why did she bill SIX MILLION on fake profits? She could have not billed and then maybe i'd believe...

    Tastytrade Review + Criticism

    I think your numbers are a little off. For example the DJIA returned 8.5% annually from 1980 to present, with dividends reinvested its 11.9%. The S&P returned 8.2% with dividends 11.07%.
