    CME NYMEX COMEX are down

    Hah. in my experience, basically telling someone to calm down has the opposite effect. I understood not only his concern but also he was eager to trade and wanted information about when he could. The CME website had no updates. I got them because they emailed me from a list I got on.

    If you stage the order, it should tell you.

    CME NYMEX COMEX are down

    CME Group has identified the technical issue and is working to resolve it. When the iLink gateways are restarted they will be in the normal primary/backup configuration. We will publish the pre-open and opening times shortly.

    CME NYMEX COMEX are down

    CME direct is great for options, but more of a beta platform. No accounting update, no position management, no margin etc. I used it in 2017 and it was down often.

    CME NYMEX COMEX are down

    I just spoke to the CME. They have no ETA on when they will be back up. They did tell me all Day orders will be canceled but GTD and GTC orders will remain. They will have an opening similar to what you have at 5pm CT when they are ready.

    It is not the software, so I expect you will not have to restart, but you should contact your platform. A market halt is generally followed up with a re-opening process.

    Tiered or fixed pricing for Interactive Brokers?

    I just want to toss out an alternative. We offer per share and per trade pricing. If your average order size is between 2000 and 10,000 shares at IB, we can save you a lot of money and still provide access to ECNs and Exchanges with their maker-taker schedule.

    Selling SPX boxes for interest

    You do not need OI to do this. you need a market maker that monitors the COB and has a little edge at a price you do to.

    Selling SPX boxes for interest

    ES options do not create a credit in a margin account so there is no reason to do that.

    GLD Options Treated as 1256 Contracts by E-Trade

    Kammo, I want to thank you for this post. It is not often I'm surprised by new information. There are a number of website that refer to ETFs backed by commodities that qualify for different tax treatment, but I have not been able to find that on the IRS website. As I do trust GreenTradertax, so...

    What price did you try to sell and what month? How did you calculate your breakeven?

    Options commission question....Tasty Works......

    Semantics. https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=563 P4. They get paid by Market Makers to route orders to them. They just use their own routes not a third party.

    Opening and closing auctions for single stock options

    It is, but does not include other exchanges. THese are my suggestion. Do without what you want. Never enter market orders with options. Never enter STOP orders with Options, see#1. Never enter market on open or close orders in options. Always take responsibility for best execution by working...
