they annoy the crap out of me... they're always moving on me when I just want to active/switch to a different page... ah well...

I had the same problem a couple of days ago. I think it might have to do with the new version of TWS... but I'm not sure. I was using the java webstart version of TWS when I was having the charting & connection issues... When I tried the standalone version (one version behind webstart) my...

Front running can be quite profitable, no doubt. But it's not simply front-running. Do you think you could make money by 'back-running'? .. my thought... uh yeah. Heck, I'd just like to know what some of the big players are doing period. That would be an edge worth a lot.... despite how...

Thank you!

Can anyone please tell me when the options expire for ES? Do they expire at the beginning of the day on Friday or End of day? I looked all over CME's website and can't find it. Thanks!

While I understand what you're saying... I'm not sure either of these rules are correct. Ignore never. Take it in, take it all in. Observe the delirium and the panic and position yourself accordingly.

It's surprising how annoying it is... i thought i was the only one...

So, to use your example, if you're long 2 ES 1400 FEB Calls then at expiration (assuming that they're in the money) you will end up LONG 2 ES. If you're long 2 ES 1400 MARCH (ITM) Calls then at expiration you will be settled with cash.

I just can't help but say it.... :p It's a new market!

R=Amount Risked on the trade. ie the amount you were willing to risk before being stopped out. For example: If R is $100 then total P/L(after commission): $252 It's a use of the ideas of Van Tharp. Check out one of his books if you want more info.

I personally have no idea. I just bought some otm calls and sold some further otm calls... but, quite frankly, I think I'm just throwing my money away.

What might be semi reasonable... buy a closer strike and sell the next strike out. Like buy 450 C and Sell 460.

Do you really think it's going to move 80 pts in less than 24 hrs??? Hey it's possible... what do I know?... Additionally, the implied volatility on the october options was somewhere around 70% yesterday when I checked.... not exactly cheap.

yeah... I love the option volume. I can actually trade them without having to pay the spread. Freaking sweeeet.

LMAO :p

I really need to get a news service....

Nice 40pt move on the Dow in 4 minutes! And... um... wtf is up with this rebound?!

How about some information on WHAT you are trading... :)

Just a thought... but how is the broker supposed to verify the number of years that you've been trading???
