Same as usual. 5Pm CT.

If you are going to buy RAM, and the PC is a desktop and everything else is near new, I would spring for 12gb or 16gb. I don't even trade anymore and this is mine. I built it to save money.

Trade-Ideas Pro is a 32-bit application. Your 64bit OS is using a lot of your 4Gb. Then you have the requirements of the other software. I'd love to blame your broker but no WIN 64Bit hardware should be sold with less than 8GB. For what you are running, your i5 is fine but you need more RAM and...

4 gb ram? Is this a 32 bit OS or 64 bit OS? It might be lack of RAM, your location, your internet (Do not use WIFI to trade), your broker's server or all them. No way to tell unless you borrow a friend's Higher End PC or laptop and try the software at your location to rule out the hardware. I...

Lime Brokerage, the low latency division, has set up equity routing that is certified with CQG. Lightspeed, our division does not offer equity routing through CQG. You will need an equity broker that wants to offer that routing through CQG. I'm not familiar with Trade view and how it works with...

I find it interesting that on the futures side, CME and CFE are both closed tomorrow but ICE US will be open. As far as I can tell, the only US listed exchange open.

Can you provide an example including what your expectation is for stock movement and change in Implied Vol and over what time period? IMO, you need to tie an option strategy to expectations. Otherwise, it is too random.

You know I am. I'm not invited to these calls. I checked the OCC memos and found nothing.

May I ask where you read that?

Jgills, See OCC bulletin attached.

Good question for your broker. https://www.theocc.com/components/docs/legal/rules_and_bylaws/occ_rules.pdf Chapter IV - Trade Reporting, Novation, and Confirmation RULE 401 - Reporting of Confirmed Trades and Novation1 (I do not claim to understand this, but trades have to be reported.)

This all makes sense from a risk perspective, as there was no chance you were going to end up with a stock position that might cause a Margin call. I'm still guessing that you were not liquidated as a spread.

The OCC requires all listed options print on one of the 15 option exchanges. I do not have access to his trades or time and sales and would prefer not to look into the activity of another broker or ask him why he did not exit the position even though he was warned. The entire event does not...

You were likely liquidated as two single legs not a spread. After you do your trade, they are paired for margin but that is it. It would not be common to liquidate as a spread. They have to follow their WSP- a pre-set procedure that applies to all liquidations.

May I ask who your broker is? Did they email or call you at anytime that week?

"cabinet" orders where used in the past when options traded in fractions. Only specialist and MM knew they were there as they were not displayed and you still needed someone to buy the option at $0.01 from you. Now that options trade in $0.01 and $0.05 increments, I'm not sure that is an...

And Realtick:

The midpoint is not always "fair value" to a market maker and each market maker has their own skew. And, you might have caught a customer order. This is why all option orders need to be "worked" to find liquidity up to your limit. You need a process to find your limit but be mindful that the...

LVX-Not sure if this is last sale, bid or ask or mid-point.

I can’t help with foreign markets. The investor I have in mind would be more interested in US futures.
