Why don't you close all in the same time? Why do you want to do a double calendar instead of DD? BIDU will report on 25th.

Do they have any Proshare ETF for the chinese market?

Good job. A big step to become vol trader. :)

Yes. It is the only way to get their attention.

Good job OC. You got a big IV crush with good earning. Your bigger risk in the position was a big drop. A big drop in spot would come with a smaller drop in IV. Any comments?

What do you mean by theoretical value? The value when you bought your call? After earning report, IV dropped, and so even when spot moved up, your call might go down.

db: I am glad that you like taking courses. All courses serve one important psychological purpose. They give you confidence to start trading. Everyone can make money in this market if he is not greedy. Last April, I wrote an option model program and started trading options...

Aaron: If a foreigner (non-resident alien) invests in a CPO, how will he be taxed? Will you withhold tax for his gain?

That was my point. Being a CTA, you can avoid all the tough regulation of SEC. But isn't it true that it is a lot risky to trade commodities (in general from my perspective). How come SEC make it so difficult to create something like "Securities trading advisor"?

Too bad that a CTA can't trade stock options or index options. You are limited to future and future options.

Ah. That was the plan, and I just followed my plan. Good trading to everyone.

I am not sure if IB has the right (legally) to liquidate your non-IRA account because each account is supposed to be segregate according to sec laws.

If I don't have other account with IB, what can IB do? If my IRA account is negative, and I promise to fund my account 4K every year till I cover all my loss. Will IB accept it? It seems that we can trade the IRA accounts using future funding if IB accepts my suggestion.

i btc Oct 850 call, and sto Nov 880 call this morning when rut touched 850 to reduce both delta and gamma. Mark, thanks for your advice.

If the loss is more than my account balance, how can I fund the IRA account? I can't fund more than 4K a year. Say for example my account balance is -10K after a black swan and IB liquidates all my position. How does it work? Can I fund 10K to fulfil my obligation? [edit] since I trade...

With IB, I can sell naked future put without enough cash to cover the possible loss. Is it a violation? If due to a black swan event, my loss is more than my account balance, what will happen? Who is responsible for the loss, IB or myself? I can't fund the IRA account. What will happen?

I trade future option with my IB IRA account.

I didn't complain. I just tell the fact. Some people use IRA for long-term investing, and never trade with their IRA accounts. Don't understand why you think I can't afford $10.00 charge from my comment. :confused: In fact, I have an IRA with IB, and I think it is great. I can trade...

The problem with IB is the minimum trading commission or monthly charge. If you invest long-term with your IRA account and make very little trades each month, they charge you $10 each month. Otherwise I don't see any reasons why not use IB since you have been using IB for your regular trading...

If he didn't overleverage, and cut loss based on margin requirement, would he survive? I am just trying to learn risk management from his loss.
