I have kept one 1250/1265 too open just for watching it, this was an expensive training.

I have learn a lesson too !!! Bob why going back to the XEO, no such SET surprise like this one using the XEO? Is this SET "discrepencies" specific to the SPX or all indices traded electronicaly or from the pit may have this kind of surprises a month or the other ? Denis

I do not understand how MM can manage all these small spreads and offer the trader the mid shaved by.10 I can becompletely wrong, It is for me hard to beleive that a MM will manage 1 or 10 SPX1230/1240 spreads or even 100, I beleive they probably have batches of 1000 or 5000 SPX 1230...

Phil, Probably my English, I have not tried to get better than the mid, I should have written the mid less 0,25 in case of a credit spread (the plus 0.25 was in my mind between the Mid and the Nat).

Ok, lets use quarters this time Assuming I get filled long SPX 1240 at mid plus 0.25$ and separately I get filled short SPX 1230 at mid plus 0.25$ (equivalent cost of the vertical spread + 0,50) Now instead of the 2 separate orders above I sell a vertical spread 1230/1240, can I expect to...

I read more than once than guys at Tos can get SPX filled at Mid price plus a dime Is the "plus a dime" valid only for a simple option, or also for a spread or a Condor Or For a spread she should expect Mid + 2 dimes and for a Condor Mid+ 4 dimes. Also the mid is always moving so it...

Phil, If NOV SPX WEEKLY 1185 Put @ $7.60 was ATM at time you posted that message, it looks to be quite expensive, half the price of the same ATM put expiring 3 weeks later, no? And if continue like this, week after week, it would rapidly pay the long term option after 2 weeks and then...

Does someone know how is the financial situation of Betonmarket. Remiraz wrote above customers wait for BOM tohave some backing/credibility, does itmeans that theycould diseappear or gobankrupt easely. Are they like brokers (one trader win what another lose) or like Casinos, getting rid...

When I wrote full edge, it would be only in the case of a SPX crash below the short and not recovering at all, in that case if the S&P future is liquid enough to be sold at the short strike of your spread then no money is lost and in fact money is made as the money from the future will be...

Phil, What about selling futures for same amount as you have put spreads would be a 100% edge in case of catastrophe if no slippage nor gap, no? (Ex; having a permanent stop sell of 2 S&P futures/spread at the level of your short or few points below) if nothing goes wrong this stop sell...
