Good point. WinME is an enhanced version of Win98... and as we all know Win98 doesn't have any multitasking. Windows 2000 however, is very well suited for multitasking support. (It's amazing how long it took microsoft to integrate this key feature that has been around in other OS's for...

LOL DATTrader.. you're killing me :p :p :p

I told you that I bought "OEBMP and SPTMJ " ... equates to a put on OEX at 580 & a put on SPX at 1150. I also make sure to use IB's "best" order routing.... Additionally, my stop limit (loss) order was correctly entered... perhaps it was as you say, a coincidence....

Wow, is my face red... I should have known that! :eek: Okay, I really want to learn how to trade these index options profitably... Do you guys have any pointers? Yesterday I was trading PSX and had the bid and the ask at a 1.0 + spread! That equates to $100+ which is really twice as...

I was trading: SPX and OEX today. I bought OEBMP and SPTMJ today.... I swear that after watching the market for 4 hrs I didn't see more than 15-20 trades go through.... The more that I think about this the more that I realize that this is a problem with IB... Does anyone have any...

I've just started to trade options and I have become increasingly frustrated by the lack of liquidity... even on Index Options. I've been trading with IB and I am wondering if there is: 1) Cheap software that will allow me to see the "depth" of the market. (something other than just level...

Dave, Where did you find out all of this info? I would really like to check it out for myself. I haven't been able to read anything that was of much help/detail yet. Thanks for the help!

I was wondering about the "new" NASDAQ rule about daytrading... Does it apply to: 1) After-Hours trades? 2) Non-stock/equity investments? Thanks for the pointers. :)

I'm going to have to re-evaluate www.cboe.com, maybe I was just misunderstanding the data. KTM, check out www.cboe.com and see if you like their data. It's delayed 20 minutes, but they allow you to download it to a file... oh and it's free. I've found it to be a bit confusing, but I'll...

That's a good question. I am sorry that I wasn't clear. What I meant was that I need accurate end of day (EOD) options data. I am going to be doing most of my market analysis after the closing bell and I need a good quote service. I have been using www.cboe.com recently and have found...

Does anyone have a good options quote service that gives them accurate after-hours options pricing? I've tried 3 different source as of right now, and I'm getting 3 different quotes for my options chains....

Thanks, that was helpful. I am currently trying to find decent options software. I want something that will help me to keep track of my trades and is not cumbersome. Any ideas?

It is suspicious because it makes it difficult to understand who is really responsible for the software. (It's hard to know who is selling the software and thus who is responsible for tech support, maintenance, etc.) You should setup ONE main site for all of your SL4 information(pricing...

Phoenix1, you missed my point entirely... ah well.

Does anyone get the feeling that they're listening to someone selling amway? If you wanted to make us look at your product you have already done that. We will continue to look at it until we have made up our minds. But for heavens sake, stop telling us how awesome your product is, it is...

Good point. He's got all the markings... 1)Avoids issues/questions posed (can't answer questions about secrets...) 2)Continually repeats his points hoping that we will be too distracted by his words to realize that he's just hyping nothing. 3)Hype, Hype, and more Hype

I agree with you 100% DATTrader. Also, when you go to his website prepare to be annoyed. Upon entering the website you instantly hear their spokesman flaunting their product... and once you hear it once you don't want to hear it EVERY time you go to their main page! Is anyone else annoyed...

I have another question. I was browsing the Chicago Board Options Exchange website (www.cboe.com) and did a lookup on recent equity options prices for "CSCO." What I can't understand is what seems to be a divergence in "last sale" data. Here is an example: Calls Last Sale Net Bid Ask...

I just opened an account at IB to test out their services, everything looks to be going well. I am planning on using their services to begin my journey into options trading. I have never traded options before and I am very curious about the liquidity of the market. My question is this...

I stand corrected I had apparently misread the rule. Thanks for the correction guys.
