Please ignore my earlier explanation. On reading this a 2nd time, I think I did not explain it correctly. Maybe somebody can explain it better than me. There was some discussion on this a long time ago in ET and that's where I picked it up. Sorry for the confusion.

I did not vote as I don't know whether its good or bad. So can you pls answer my question. Thanks

Hypo talking to himself again. As usual. :D

Thanks folks. Will look into it. Anybody wants to contribute further are more than welcome. Lindq, Ahem..cough cough. Now since when did I mention that I know the direction? If I knew I wouldn't be interested in hedging right? I just mentioned I don't like gaps in the wrong direction from my...

Momenythansens Thanks for sharing. Ok, will try to explain what fearless9 meant. Fearless9, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. By sharing with one another we become better ourselves. :) What marketdelta.com and many of us mean when we say 'aggressive buys' are trades at the ask side...

Momoneythansens Pls continue to post. I appreciate your contributions and meant no disrepect with my statement. Was just trying to say do not let fearless9 get under your skin. Most of us would term it the way you do. Right now, I'm busy with the market so can't talk much.

Can anyone help on the below matter? Thanks. I'm thinking of holding stocks overnight (this could last from 1 day to at least a few days/weeks). But I do not like gaps (that are in the wrong direction). Is the best idea then to hedge with option? If so should it be an OTM, ITM, ATM option and...

Interesting

Newb question here. How do you determine the max/min pain? Thanks.

Momoneythansense, Just curious. Do you use delta and do you find it useful? Don't worry about getting the terminology wrong. I understand where fearless9 and yourself are coming from. Thanks

So it is really illegal. The way to overcome this is to do it with separate brokers but then one may run into trouble with the IRS. Dang :( Thanks nkhoi

I am getting confused here. Banjo mentioned it is illegal while Don says can. What is the real answer? My main purpose is hedging the overnight gaps for stocks and up till the next morning to decide whether my bias in direction is still true. I think options is not that good a bet, that's why...

Maybe a rep from Interactive Broker could answer the question?

Bighog, thanks but can anybody clarify whether we can long and short the same STOCK if we use 2 different accounts with the same broker? What about if we long stock with 1 broker and short stock with another broker? Advise appreciated. Thanks.

Found this thread. So is it still true that we can't long and short the same stock even if we use 2 different accounts with the same broker. What about if we long stock with 1 broker and short stock with another broker? Advise appreciated. Thanks.

5pillars, Thanks.

Loandfinder, I think (not sure) that if you use use IRT, then you will not have the footprints. BTW, curious, your footprint charts you are seeing is the 'bid*ask' and not just the delta? Thanks

5pillars, Thanks for sharing. If you don't mind, I do have another question. Based on your 4 entries and even if I throw linear regression channel in to help, I have the feeling that I will still find quite a number of false entry signals. Granted, I have not tried this combination yet...

Sorry, made a mistake in my example. The example should be as below : Also, I've given an example below where the shift in delta would not work. Say for example, the important support level is at $50 1 minute chart Time Delta Price 10.57-10.58am -20...

5pillars, I hope you don't mind sharing your knowledge on delta. Not trying to put down anybody or any strategy, just sharing some of my experience here in order to get some help. Thanks. Simplified example. You have mentioned about the shifts in delta (eg from -ve delta to +ve delta)...
