I've been listening to Kuppy's regular visits to The Market Huddle (YouTube). I've never met him, but from countless interviews with him on The Market Huddle, I get the impression that sometimes he's right, but often he's wrong. He has a different way of finding opportunities than anybody I...

I'm not trying for a stock. It took me many many hours just to document and find this. Why is it illegal? I should rephrase my comment after giving it thought. I know there are many specific FINRA rules for STOCKS, on when Market Makers are allowed to withdraw their quotes and not allowed. I...

I figured out how to step the screen recording software, frame by frame, in it's tightest sample rate. I was mistaken earlier to assume the milliseconds stops at 60. In this software it runs to 100, before counting as 1 second. Below I found a 3 millisecond window when the L2 changed...

I agree. It's very small. It seems odd for a Market Maker to avoid such a small trade. This strike was 2x ITM vs OTM.. Liquidity is always less ITM vs OTM, but you can see that there was plenty of liquidity within 2 cents of the bid. Even within 60 cents of the bid. But it's filled almost 90...

When you say 200 lot, do you mean 200 contracts? Unlike stocks, my understanding is that the size in L2 is displayed per contract, vs something a display of 10, actually meaning 1000 or 10,000 option contracts offered by the market maker. As well, I know that "200" in time and sales, is 200...

I've suspected something fishy going on. I've never really had solid data to confirm it. The underlining moving? Another order coming in that sweeped all the market makers? Finally, I captured it with Time & Sales, a Deep Level 2, and with video that I slowed down to the milli-seconds. There...

I'm not sure if you're directional or not, or just playing probabilities. TastyTrade has a TON of statistical analysis on when to open credit spreads and when to close them. It's been well over a year since I've seen these. I don't trade options in this manner so my knowledge on this topic...

I didn't see this in real time, but only found this when reviewing my screen recorder and looking at the milli-seconds. Full disclosure, I found this while reviewing the Lightspeed Demo. Last Friday, 8/20/21, monthly options expiration day. I saw lots of suspicious activity, but will only...

While doing my own research to understand what "COB" orders were, I found the following at the CBOE. https://markets.cboe.com/us/options/trading/complex_orders/ ("AIM" is Cboe's Automated Improvement Mechanism) "Note, during regular trading hours (RTH), the maximum order size for AIM...

Fail, and calling you out. So many that "call tops", or say the market is going to crash here, and worse, on TV, that never get called out and told how many many many times their wrong.

The market has been up since the election. It will likely still continue to go up. That's what it does >70% of the time, right? I'm sure if the market continues higher, Trump will do his best to prevent Biden have having a rising stock market. Trump drama will be the next major crash. That's...

That is very interesting. I completely agree. I've done many years of racing myself. I see many parallels with trading. Many think driving fast is easy, but like the market, the track conditions change almost every lap.. your tire condition changes every lap, your brake performance also...

Alex, well said. It's all relative.

I don't have an answer for the original poster, (I'd prefer QQQ and IWM match SPY's current expirations before SPY goes 5 days a week) but this topic reminded me of some history on the subject I learned a month or two ago. I can't remember the precise details and words said, but it was Tom...
