I believe that's from TOS.

I have similar views but my target is closer to the 100.

I say nothing wrong with OX either, but if you get yourself familiarized with the TOS paltform, you'll know why most here are switching to TOS.

You have not mentioned, and nobody asked ... what size of an account are you talking about that you are making a few hundred to a couple Ks a day with? And, what % of capital are you using per trade? One cannot tell how well you are doing if the account amount is not known. I wouldn't be too...

hahahahaha

I agree with your point of an IC to not care about direction but only about ranges ... afterall, that is the strategy of an IC. However, I disagree with your opinion/assessment that people are spinning their wheels about market direction when implementing an IC. Let's say you've been...

Did anybody play RACK? Barring any major moves before closing today, I am looking at some serious ROM :)

It seems like you want to justify your intention of not reporting it so you want to make yourself feel more at ease should you decide not to report, by gathering the troops here to agree with you. Well you may get away with it, but in case you didn't, maybe you can log in to ET from the penn...

Just remember you win some and lose some on straddle plays. The stock has to move more than what the premium cost you, not to mention you also have to deal with the factor of time to expiration etc. In other words, it is not as easy as you thought, or else everyone here would be doing them.

I am an analyst at my firm and I trade pretty much all day..... but I also work my ass off after trading hours to get my regular work done in a timely manner. Then I go home and do research and analysis for new trades and positions. All in all, I work about 16 hour days combining both. I...

I think we have similar style :D

Mav, I haven't been here long but certainly no stranger to BBs. I know you are a straight shooter and in many ways I like and respect that. However, it is my interpretation that if she deleted the post a little after posting it, then maybe she realized it was a mistake, or that it was...

I just got through reading the last 30+ posts. Interesting discussions there. I've always mix and match credit/debit/multiple calendars etc. that I don't sweat much about any one. There are merits to both sides, as debit spreads don't tie up margins like credits do, and that allows you some...

A week and a half ago when the RUT was around 766 (but it has been continuously breaking all time highs) and knocking on the door of my 780/790. I doubled up on 790/800 to get ready. Then it retreated south and I was left with -1x 780, -1x 790, +2x 800. I didn't like the way the...

Risk, I for one am glad you're back. I like new ideas and am looking forward to it. Thanks!

I love the RUT. I have had good success with it.

I am not sure why are you worried about the APR short 800 strike for the RUT given the recent run up and with only 1.5 days to exp. If you worry about it now, it :seems" to imply that you maybe a little too risk adversed for the RUT. Just my 2 cents. But I believe the 800 should be relatively...

I am biased for it to go south tomorrow as I have some short strikes knocking real close to my door for APR :D It is interesting that people forgot that the expectation of the fed's rate hiking days are over have been anticipated; oil is at all time highs, and we have Iran playing with...

I was going to post something similar to this but you beat me to it. Well put.

IV, interested in knowing why you think this is a reverse calendar candidate when front month IV is a lot higher than back?
