On the contract specs............. m8, u might wanna read the specs b4 you trade things.o_O

Means no bailing on your ITM options if you don't want them.... you get em.. fully obligated.

Options by definition, are an agreement where buyers AREN'T obligated to the trade...... Quite specifically AREN'T obligated..... AREN'T!! Ssssssoooooooooooo Why am I reading that Contrarian orders aren't allow on ITM options at expiry!!! ( ES EOM and both weeklies ) That means that the...

IB is so protective they would increase the margin past the face value of the contract..... and come up with some reason of course :)

That pattern was similiar to that boring pattern on Friday. Although this was more interesting with a greater range. IV will be higher due to no / limited upswing. Good luck with the next session every1!

Quite a sell off! Did any1 short from the open?

The ones that expired last fri and possibly this fri. You can't day-trade any further out because of to much premium IMO.

With that very low range. There would have been no survivors. Both calls and puts. Time decay would have ripped through everything. Any option buyers heart would have skipped a beat when they saw that pattern.

What was that? Options buyers would have got smoked during that session.

You are not completly correct either. You can't ring ur broker and not get the options auto- exercised. ES weeklies, EOM don't have contrarian orders allowed. Only the 3 month options allow contrarian orders. If you are holding ITM past expiry then you get exercised. You either exercise...

The ES options are quoted in points.. each point is worth $50. So its not $74, its 74 points. :) Secondly, please don't use the name option express here on ET. They are the most over-priced broker out there. Especially for online trading. its probably around the $29 mark for placing a round...

You handle routing? and data provider is?

Trend day today! Doesn't happen often but there you go. I'd prefer a bit of yo-yoing / rollercoasting myself.

+5 on the first 15 min bar

Thanks for pointing that out S2007S. You should go and work for bloomberg. They are always digging up stats like this :).

Well done B1. You appear to be taking some very small gains as well..... perhaps you are turning into a market-maker / HFT. :cool: You can add that to your list of different trades.:D. Nice 6 point run from the open. Have a nice weekend all.

:wtf:

Good luck B1S2. Ol WWF Smack down pattern. Decent 12 point swing in the latter part of the session. It would have been a wild goose chase trying to catch the right level..... we've all been there b4 :D. Probs slight Vol pick up from the sell off for that decent run. Good luck Traders!!

If your looking to put everything in 1 account then go with interactive brokers. If you want / can, just dump $$ into either AMP, Ninjatrader or Optimus. Not much difference between these guys. Good luck.

Very close trading range this session, only hit +5 points from the open at 2:00.
