    Am I being ripped off by my broker?

    Only way to be sure is to ring CBOE and get a live quote when u enter and when u exit. in other words Audit ur broker. I've read about the NFA handing out fines to clearing groups for not meeting their obligations.... which are "to provide a fair and orderly market".

    Am I being ripped off by my broker?

    I'm aware of Globex, I'm aware of CME , I'm aware that I can place trades on the market. We're not talking about that. What this thread is talking about is options appearing to move drastically in one direction whilst not moving drastically in the other direction as one would assume. Which...

    Am I being ripped off by my broker?

    I lost 1/3 of my account due to this, thats my experience. I would screenshot options chains of the ES and then screen shot them with a 10+- point difference. Everything seemed normal. Then when I entered a trade and tried to close the trade 10 points later, I would get a different results...

    Why don't Retail brokers clear through the big banks.

    Hi, I've noticed that with a lot of the brokers I look they all clear through smaller companies, like Amp, Rjo and Rosenthal. Infact all of them. No1 clears through UBS, Jp Morgan.... Any reason?

    Did Fidelity Cheat Its Own Client Out of Millions of Dollars?

    Sounds like there are some good signals out there if Deutsch made that much $$. U gotta remember that Buffet did the same thing. He purchased Berkshire (originally a fabric company) when it was at a rock bottom price, and he almost went under because of it because the company almost...

    Straddling Exit Thoughts

    Thanks Jeff. I traded straddles for 6 months and only dreamed about that trade u landed. I think u could setup a bloomberg terminal to look for ideal stocks. Dunno if it justifies $75 K tho. I appreciate the thoughts. I'm thinking that it might be a good strategy if 1 leg gets closed out...

    Did Fidelity Cheat Its Own Client Out of Millions of Dollars?

    Quite a read there Ninja. IMO the main point is that was the company going to go bankrupt anyway? If so Deutch didn't have a leg to stand on. Didn't matter what fidelity did or Deutch buying the shares. They completely screwed up BTW, fidelity that is. So many interesting points from that...

    Straddling Exit Thoughts

    Hi Et, So I've decided to jump back on the ol straddle trade. Originally, I used to close straddles out after a 50% return. Now I've been trading a while, I'm kinda thinking that mbey I should close out 1 leg after that trade has doubled in $$. Then my thinking was to hold the other leg...
