    ¿best language & platform to automate options trading with ib's api?

    Susquehanna 100% yes. Citadel, I think so. But they are automated market makers trading as broker dealers and members of the exchanges with direct feeds to market data and the matching engines where they can bulk quote, do not have to tag markets as open/close. -you have to cancel replace, tag...

    Questions on Day Trading!

    It can never exceed what you had Tuesday morning. If you had DT BP of $200K that morning, and liquidate, you still have $200K until the next day, then $400K wednesday.

    Options spread profile - Max profit value

    Your examples of Trade 1 and 2 require me to make assumptions. Are they the same month, what are the strikes, etc. I suggest you read more. https://www.lightspeed.com/trading-education-center/ I do not see a symbol on the TWS strategy builder, so I will assume XYZ where is option is for 100...

    Options spread profile - Max profit value

    I can speak for TWS. I want to impress upon you that if you can’t quickly understand the risk/reward of a simple vertical call or put spread you might not be ready to trade them.

    2-Year Note Futures Tick to Be Reduced by Half, Effective Jan 13

    2-Year Note Futures Tick to Be Reduced by Half, Effective Jan 13

    I hated learning fractions. I had to hand signal them and do the math quickly. Not my best quality. A typical order was XYZ, July 45, buy calls, sell puts 7/16 credit 100X-GO. I'd have less than a 30 seconds to get to the option post, find the strike, do the math and tell the specialist what I...

    Karen the Supertrader speaking at tastytrade ‘s Geeks on Parade

    BTW, I have nothing against option sellers, as long as they do it in a responsible manner. In fact, there is a CTA I have raised money for that is a net put seller. For those that understand the risk for a part of their savings, it might be a good fit.
