I guess that an european customer, even if willing to open a new account and lose any history et al, won't be able to open it in IB USA to get rid of IB UK ?

Not sure if they don't auto liquidate it. But even if it's not the case, DITM options, close to expiration, are horribly priced (too large spread).

I have no idea but if the principle is to "protect" EU customers, if somehow IBUK will not be obliged by these regulations, all IBUK EU customers would have to be transferred to something like IB Germany or alike.

If you're in Baltics why were you saying that "Personally, this is just an incentive to update my residency information.". Wouldn't you fall anyway in IBUK ?

The question I made was this (I didn't know what they had to do to make it available - and I still don't, except what is mentioned here in the thread - so I was very generic in the question, describing the problem and asking if there were plans to fix it):

I wrote to BlackRock, SPDR and Invesco. BlackRock already replied and has no intentions of complying. This is iShares ETFs like TLT, IVV, IWM, EFA, TIP,... * https://www.ishares.com/us/ishares-global?locale=en_ZZ&switch=y

That is in the first edition of 2014 (the one I have). Sounds that an expanded edition was published in 2016. On that one he is in chapter 13.

Chapter 10: atticus - the options expert

Would someone care to share other alias for Atticus please ? The "original" atticus nick stopped in Jul 2013, as far as I can see. Just if someone is not aware, he was also interviewed in the book Traders of the New Era.

Right. This only happened now in IB but it's something that was in the news for some time. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-23/the-unforeseen-boost-to-europe-s-etfs-as-spy-no-longer-an-option Meaning that if SPDR haven't solved the situation since then (and KID seems something...

That's scaring. Did you tick the box "Fill outside RTH" ?

Yep, that was the case before this drop. I thought that when this happened that new strikes were, somehow, "created" (don't know how is the process).

Thanks. I was specifically looking into something around 30 days. Just found strange that we see more variety of strikes far from ITM than closer to ITM. Btw, how are the strikes created ? Is the exchange or the mm ?

SPY is currently at 263 Looking at the options 28 and 30 days, we see strikes 270, 270.5, 271, 271.5 or 265.5, 266, 266.5, 267 available. Why isn't there something closer to ITM, like 262.5, 263, 263.5, etc. ? I just see 260 and 265 and nothing in between.

Let's say that in column A you have your account value, which varies every day. In column B, cell B3, you can have the following formula: =A3/MAX($A$2:A3)- 1 Then copy that down. This formula shows you the max DD, day to day.

thanks. so it's -7% until 17:00 NY time ? what if the market opens -5% after 18:00 NY time ?

Shouldn't we have an halt when S&P futures reached -5% ?
