Yeah, he does.

The 430C should be marketable at 19 with shares at 375-380.

You're fearful sitting alone in mom's basement.

He's received a margin call on the position and IBTWS will reduce the position until he's compliant.

Sure, but it would probably take him off the call and he can maneuver and wing it off to a fly.

he's there as much as anybody.

The CC at 405 for Sep18 is OK, but the BE is going to be around 380. Unlikely to break 430 through Sep18 which I why I prefer the synthetic straddle. Hit the bid on the 430C on Tuesday morning. He covers his margin call and benefits from stickiness and a nominal vol-drop if it rallies. The 430C...

There is IMMENSE color in equities. If you can trade vol on shares then there is no logic behind trading anything else unless you're profitable scalping futures.

TDA as a BD is awesome. I had one issue where a bug in the front end forced them to trade 100 micro NQ at the market in the account. I was logged off at the time. I don't trade micros; they weren't on any of my watchlists. Small loss of $1,200 which they refused to cover, offering me $150 which...

IB is seemingly randomly requiring more than the risk on bog-standard debit spreads. $60 vertical risk ($6,000) and IB charging over $70. I left them a few years ago when losing connection while legging. I called the trade desk and got disconnected. They literally hung up on me twice due to the...

I talked to the OP. It's 20, 2000 shares.

You're an idiot?

He would have to announce a sale of TikTok North America to TSLA.

I am sure the sell-side was informed that the S&P index committee was meeting on Friday, hence the vol-bid into the close. It's analogous to an earnings release. I think the shares would have been hit before the close if the actual decision was leaked. As such, they simply bid up the vola. S&P's...

Do you know what happens when someone commits 10-20% of their capital to one crowded trade and the Street finds out? What do you think they do...? Do you think they pile more into the crowded trade? Or do you think they lean on the guy because when he covers it snowballs? This forum reads as...

lol there are one or two that are smarter.

It's an example of converting a put to a call. Your motivation isn't the point. It literally converts the put to an OTM call (same strike as the put) while monetizing you put gains. You don't lose the gains on your long ITM put. The share-delta exceeds the put delta, so the hedge is perfected...

ITMs never have more liquidity than OTM.

With winds around 10 miles an hour, and gusting to as much as 15 m.p.h., the weather conditions in and around the lake most likely would not have caused the boats to sink, Aaron Treadway, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in the Austin/San Antonio office, said. Mr. Frame praised...
