    100 % increase in options volume / IB quote

    Thanks for the input. It seems the powers that be came to the same conclusion you did as prices seemed to be adjusted across the board today with very little movement in stock price (for CCMP anyway).

    100 % increase in options volume / IB quote

    It would be great if you all could do something like Seanote is doing on a daytrading thread, namely posting some of your trades so a newbie such as myself can hopefully learn to trade a bit better. I say this because more than a few of the contracts in the feb, mar and apr options of which...

    I tried the web based version of TWS today and had same problems. Also trie earlier version and it lasted longer, but about 3:40p started breaking down showing negative shares bid.

    Trading Strategies/Mechanics

    Bright, what is the catch?

    Thanks for the response. So you are saying that I pay them a commission on trades using the money they staked me? Seems like a good deal to me. As far as being profitable, I have to be. It's either that or get a real job. The problem I have is being limited in the number of trades I'm...

    Bright, what is the catch?
