Of course you're right if someone was to trade the same number of options as they would the underlying shares. Unfortunately almost no-one in the OPs position trades options that way, they just lever up to whatever the product they're trading will let them trade and all those positives you...

Funny that could be almost an exact quote about someone referring to Japan in 1990...

I'm not sure you understand how futures are priced. The difference between trading ES and trading SPY are almost entirely academic for your average trader, if the market goes up 2.1% Monday then both ES and SPY will both go up exactly 2.1% When it comes to index futures like ES the future price...

You got me, I in fact do run a combination haberdashery and quant shop. Lately we've been doing better on the hats!

Does anyone in the world today stumble on a site based on the URL? Seems so 1999. Unless you (or someone else) has built brand equity in a specific URL, any random URL that somewhat matches what you're doing does the trick, all of which can be registered for a couple bucks. www.stockraven.com...

The answer to your question depends on where you are and what your nationality is. Don't come on here with all of 5 posts, ask a question that no-one can answer without additional information, then tell everyone it's "none of their business" when they ask for the required amplifying information...

The paper money account isn't going to give you anything like live results, certainly not on IB but probably anywhere. Especially with options orders. Especially especially with complex orders. It basically will only issue a trade if an actual trade occurs at your price or your limit hits the...

With the nationality thing don't you feel like you must constantly be at war with yourself?:) I won't comment on the crazy ex idea... One other idea as we're thinking out loud here is if you can get a job with a multi-national at home that has the opportunity for working in the U.S.? That kind...

Aside from the fact that you're potentially going to cause yourself all kinds of compliance issues with this as was already pointed out, I think you're also really looking at this in entirely the wrong way. Apple is going to give you $100,000 worth of RSUs the date of your hire, hence the...

Certainly that's one of literally hundreds of different ideas. I would advocate that those of us worried about an FTT work to make it look more like the SEC Fee rather than simply rail against it altogether.

I'll give you a consolidated and brutally honest answer. If you don't have a U.S. work visa and are (again assuming) from Peru or somewhere similar then you have next to no chance of getting hired in the U.S. for what you want under your circumstances. The company would have to sponsor you for...

No, IB does this with orders you have no desire to be hidden and that you fully intend to display to the world. It's yet another hidden "feature" of their system, in market that's moved significantly "the algorithm" will decide that the current public bid/ask prices aren't marketable and refuse...

Or they just hold it because in the infinite wisdom of "the algorithm" it isn't marketable, even if it's inside the current live bid/ask price.

I think the time is the issue for the OP, trading those in the after hours market is probably not great liquidity-wise?

Thank you for the kind words, although I'd have to disagree with the "most intelligent" part given some other folks here I look up to.

First off, you can cut the personal attacks, they really only reflect poorly on you (Seriously, "maggot", are you in junior high?). If you'd like to come meet me in my office feel free to send me a PM and I'll be happy to extend you an invite to come down spend some time with you in person going...

Again, your rant has nothing to do with my comment let alone does it constitute an intelligent response of any kind. I'm not sure what this guy did to piss in your Wheaties but you need to just chill out. If you want to talk business any day I'm happy to. I've started and run two successful...

OK, you clearly don't like the guy (I'll venture that people like you said exactly the same thing about Bezos for many of the first years of Amazon). Regardless, I made a very specific comment about if the terms of the lease and if that is a net positive or negative for shareholders. Your...

Thanks @Banjo. Replying to @Stockolio, I don't understand what the use of "Community-Adjusted EDITBA" in the company's reporting for a bond offering has to do with the terms at which the CEO leases property to his company?

Sorry, don't know where you're getting that term from? Did I miss something here?
