Anyone here trading/arbing this deal ? Which contracts do you like ? Getting $61 a share, my thought is 50/55 JUL CALLS and the 60 JUL PUTS for WGR but what about APC tracts?

Me either and yet, i'm trading one. It did 22,000 shares today. LOL :D We'll see $4.50 soon, is my guess. They plan to close a couple more stores and have fire sales. Looking over the books for two stores, it didn't get any better since last summer. It's a good trade that doesn't need to...

LOL :D Fuck off

Net Liquidation in TWS has been wrong for nearly two months now. Unrealized PnL is wrong for every position held. Defaults have to be constantly reset for entering orders. And now, Option trader does not save any option chains--they have to be manually entered each time you log on. IB...

I'd like for Net Liquidation and Unrealized PnL to show correct values more then 10% of the time. My unrealized PnL for today was +$8,000,000 this morning and each PnL for every position is wrong. Net liquidation is off by more then $10,000. IB management has stated quote " This is a...

Shorted TWTR last week 6.86 avg. price. Put in the vault. If it runs up, shorting more. Set aside six months worth of time and money for this one. It will implode.

For single option trades, NO, unless there is a lot of wiggle room. For spreads, YES, depending on all variables--usually fill at the natural price and if not you wait or move on.

So BOXes that yield a good return are almost impossible to execute ? Waste of time ? Thanks.

They'll start to keep you out of trades that they can't hedge in time. I used to trade extreme swings with a broker until they simply stopped getting me the fills, started "reviewing" my trades. Had i implemented any type of sophiticated trading scheme they'd bounce me. FYI... IB...

So the days of stupid equity traders that can't count to 12 are over? Shit man. I best find a new career or hit the books.

Working your own portfolio you learn as you go. Greeks are important to understand but one could spend a decade analyzing and theorizing about just one of them. Even if you know every formula by the book until you practice with real trades it will seem foreign to you. Point being, knowledge...

If you plan to trade options through IB's friends and family advisor account keep in mind that TWS will not break up the value of 1 option contract across multiple accounts. I know it's not an issue for most. If IB goes under and SIPC doesn't cash out investors, i'm screwed. A 'dvp' account...

I've taken a liking to this car, it's easy on the eyes too. You guys wouldn't eat that junk if you knew the contents. Sure it's a donut but i'm sure you did not order pigback/lard with that combo? It's a bad trade in my eyes. Enjoy though, you lucky bastids! :)

Let us know when you can afford gas for a Continental GT coupe :cool: :D No word from the OP yet, eh

What is your full name? In which district are you filing your lawsuit, town, state, country? Where can we reach your attorney? You do realize this forum is not meant for soliciting witnesses for pending lawsuits.

Your question is like asking how long does it take a NFL Player to be charged for either rape, murder, or aggravated assault. It will happen eventually, just keep beating hookers after doing lines on their belly. But there are no guarantees in life! Is there an assault that is not aggravated...

There is nothing wrong with daytrading and/or catching intraday instrument trading action. The problem is not the odds you state; the problem is that you somehow convinced yourself, brain-washed, that you could make money daytrading using some of your methodology from a completely irrelevant...

I was directed to this thread by a friend. He told me there is an injustice that needed fixing. A good trader needs a prop firm like a two bit hooker needs advice from a cop on how to get tricks. It's funny Don 'PROPaganda' stepped in to gloat about 'his prop firm' and 'his way' when the...

The market humbles without regard, one must humble the market with less regard. Slices of time, space, and energy still comprise elementary market action. Dream of walking right-side up off ceilings; harmonically tune your energy. Do you own RIMM shares or options?

Rodin, Thanks for your words and insight. Good luck with your future hedge fund work and training. I'll make sure to study and train even harder now. ciao`, Clouseau
