On thinkorswim I can set the VWAP only to Daily/Weekly/Monthly and each time it resets so after 1/7/30 days respectively it becomes in line with stock price. I there a website or software that has VWAP that won't reset and instead work like a standard Moving Average? Thanks, have a nice weekend

What luck I joined before TDA take over. 1.5$ per option contract, $0.01 per stock unit/$3 min. funded my account with just the minimum 3K

I was looking for a good screener to find penny (or near penny) stocks with rising volume. some cool screeners are out there but they are very unfriendly to use, those that didn't fail in friendliness asked for a high member fee. So after many days I said to myself lets see what good old TDA...

Thanks, anyone using their premium services?

Is in possible to know how many open short positions a stock has?

messy - very but there is no elsewhere

Is anyone still unhappy?

found a way to customize thinkorswim to show me just the relevant earnings. If it comes in handy to anyone I can post how (easy)

Where can I see a list of just the interesting companies with upcoming earnings? (yahoo, msn, thinkorswim etc, just have long lists that include all companies) Thanks

So the order will be filled in a fair price?

will I get a normal price? How does a broker send out a spread anyway? I mean, even when bid/ask spreads are far apart the broker manages to get a price in between. The problem I have is that the adjustment I need to do on FAS that includes 4 different strikes. It doesn't look similar to any...

Options have zero sum, that means that if you are winning then someone out there is losing money. By just betting without a plan you will probably be on the losing end. My advice is to search some information in google or even youtube about how to get started, type in something like "options...

Welcome aboard. Do you want to know our thoughts on your FB trade or about getting started with options? Perhaps you should start a new thread with your massage. it sounds like you are new to the markets, you say you are "hoping" the stock goes down.. it sounds like a bet, and maybe you are...

While the stock was obviously a casino to begin with, I wonder how high the premiums for credit spreads will be.

According to the demo I don't see any option analyzing tools on IB. I'm used to TOS but even some basic black scholes will be fine to begin with, I'm not planing to trade too much outside the US.

True, and as the trading day started I noticed the bid/ask spread got tighter so I might really go ahead and give it a shot (still hesitating cause I promised myself to never go debit) Will go with the 30/50 strikes to reduce cost, Open interest is good too. Cheers!

That's much more interesting then mine :) But spreads are wide, It would cost much more; so how about: VXX - Jan 14 30-50 bull call (1.60 mid price) or VXX - Jan 13 30-50 bull call (1.24 mid price)

Ask is 2.66.. better chances then powerball + I will have some downside protection on SPY butterfly spread. might buy one contract today.
