It's MES but I tried to simulate a buy and the preview screen says "your order is not accepted. this product is only limited to certain test accounts"

Is there any announced plan to launch options on Micro ? I didn't find anything in google search.

Is this standard in IB ? I thought that if the post-expiry margin predicted (in account window) was in excess of the allowed, they would autoliquidate option positions before the maturity.

SPY, IVV and VOO are all in the same price range. To average up or down during extended period of time, options also have a catch. SPY at 281. Call 282 Apr (1 month) cost 3.65 (1.3%) Call 282 Jun (3 months) cost 7.85 (2.8%) Call 282 Sep (6 months) cost 11.80 (4.2%) Time value (decay) can eat...

If your intention is basically to hold the options until expiration and have whatever profit it will be, you can put a MOC order for ES if the broker allows it. Let's say you have an ES call 2800 and on Friday mid afternoon ES is around 2850. You can enter a MOC order to sell an ES contract...

Thanks Robert, useful alert about the primary. My broker is IB and I see that they have the primary identified if we select Financial Info over a symbol. Not sure, though, if I can check the official closing price of the exchange without calling them (of course I can check it afterwards, but...

Let's say a stock closes at 11 and we hold a put or a call for 11. Is that exercised or not ?

Sounds like someone was doing an internship with the idiots of the european soviet union where this kind of stupid ideas are mega popular.

GE had a spin off this week and holders were allocated GE (new) and WAB. Not sure how the old options worked out with that.

Out of curiosity I was checking the "How to Trade In Stock" and saw this one which has 224 pages: Then this one with only 80: Is this the same book, just with different editing, font size, etc. ?

Yep, attracting sponsors to chess should be somehow difficult because visibility and audience is not massive. I guess other sports have the same issue like judo, fencing, gymnastics, shooting, weightlifting, etc. One can be a top world class athlete and, even so, not make in an entire career a...

at what time do start the tie break today ?

If I understand correctly what you said then is useless to have maintenance across all account because one won't be able to initiate the trade. What am I missing ?

Anyone remember that day, back in 2006, when SPY traded above 9000 ? :D For old quotes, IB charts have a lot of errors. We should know and either accept that or move to another place.

Becoming categorized as Professional increases quite a lot the data fees, right ?

I suggest you install ToS demo. You don't need an account and allows you to do pretty decent stuff. Works for 60 days.

Most likely you start with an planned short term position and end up with a long term one and praying. For example, you sell a naked weekly call which goes wrong, you roll that "for free" for a monthly one. Then happens the same thing with the monthly one and you roll for an yearly one. What...

what about vertical mouses ? anybody uses ? any relief ?

Ups, sorry Didn't notice that this was a 2017 post ! :)

Last week I notice this MadScan reference in ET and tried to access the site. So far no success. Seems to be down for a couple of days, now. Is this still a valid site ?
