Thanks. I emailed them a day ago and haven't heard back yet. I called and hung up after 12 minutes on hold.

I live in the US and have money in Canada. I don't want to convert the Canadian dollars to US right now because of the exchange rate. Are there any US brokers that allow for a Canadian dollar account?

Winston, Thank you for checking. I currently use Sierra Chart which has a basic ASCII data format. I'm not looking for free data. But I'm also not looking for something in the Bloomberg range. I found that quotes.com has adjusted data. I think I can get that into Sierra Chart. I...

stockcharts.com uses adjusted data. I don't want to use web-based charting though.

I'm looking for a data source for my charting software that doesn't require me to manually adjust the data to take distributions into account.

I'm looking for ongoing daily data. Sometimes I think I'm the only person on this forum that isn't a day trader. Does it matter what tickers or when the ETF does an distribution? If the data service adjusts their data wouldn't they do it for all tickers when the distribution takes place?

Which data service adjusts their EOD data for capital gains distributions?

It sounds like Ondercin doesn't teach money management which is a very important aspect of any type of trading.

Does anyone have this working for Sierra Chart that can upload their chart book and a study collection? I can't get it to come out right.

I use Sierra. How are you getting the capped constant volume bars?

I'm thinking of signing up for BT. I'm not interested in their chat room. Is the BT forum active enough to get questions answered and discuss the material?

I'm setting up a spreadsheet to monitor trades using links to thinkorswim. For RUT I see that the OPRA symbol changes from RUR to RUW when the strikes goes from 390 to 400. Why is that?

Thanks Mark. I have a basic understanding of the synthetics and put/call parity. Your link mentions a covered call being equivalent to a naked put. I knew about that and that is why I prefaced my question with asking about the advantage of knowing this stuff if I'm not trading the underlying...

Who does a good job of explaining this area? I have Cottle's first book and his writing style doesn't match up with how I process information.

I keep reading about the importance of understanding synthetics. What is an example of how knowing synthetics is useful if I don't trade the underlying?

It looks like TOS charts only provide intraday data for the last week. So I guess I can't get the price from there like I thought.

It never occurred to me that the analyze tab would work with dates in the past. I should be able to get price but don't know how to get volatility for that particular time. I guess this would also be an issue for Mark's solution.

I know an option calculator will work but I'm still curious to see how to do this in TOS.

Is there a way in TOS to figure out what the greeks were at the time I put on a trade several weeks ago? I can look in Thinkback but there was a huge market move after I put the trade on.

I use thinkorswim software. Is is possible to figure out how much of a one day price move in an option was due to delta and how much was due to vega?
