Now I must (manually) calculate the final result...

And here the significant Times&Sales data for the said CBY option strike to show that the said 2 orders have been executed as the market price has crossed the 2 order prices..: Beware: here the times are in EST, all other times are usually in my local (CET). I have not managed yet to use local...

Here is the chart of the underlying (CBY):

Here's the screenshot of the said 2 close orders for the CBY options before logging out:

Ok, here the screenshots: First, the account screenshot (but as said above this is not the final result!):

Ok, regarding CBY: it was a hard fight, but I nevertheless succeeded! But there is a minor problem if it interest you: in IB Demo your account every day restarts with 500k (actually you get assigned a new account every day, so every 24h it logs you off). I have not closed my position but...

It is also an overtake candidate. Kraft Foods wants to overtake Cadbury, has offered $16.5 billions. All the news about this overtake bid: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/h?s=CBY

Suppose you have a 100k margin account at a retail broker (for example IB), so your day trading buying power is the usual 4:1, ie. 400k. Can you buy options for 200k in this account? Or what is the max possible?

Yes, I had success with SPY: made 16.8k But... the bad news is: I have big problems with an other stock :-( I made some significant losses with it (about 8k loss), but the battle is not decided yet. It is my bloodiest day since I started. But I still have hope to turn the situation into my...

It seems I'll make most of my profits today from SPY. Not sure yet, but I tend to concentrate myself on this instrument alone.

Are you an informant of, or working for, the IRS? :-)

BS, it's as legal as it can be. And: did you know that even the giga financial firms like BofA have subsidiaries in tax-heavens?... Even some US govt owned companies! One should talk first about these cases before hunting innocent individual traders who just want to save on tax... Legal tax...

I think one should found a small company in a tax-heaven or join such a company. And do not trade under your name, instead trade under the name of the company. Another alternative: find a local individual partner in that tax-heaven, use him/her as the account owner, and you do the trades in...

Daily result so far today: +32.5k (+6.5%)

Yippea! :-) I won! :-) I had to use 350k to finally win this battle. Acct now: +28k (+5.6%). Unfortunately I've neglected some other positions while fighting with the EDZ MM guy. For example two C option strikes had already brought much profit but I haven't closed them, now they unfortunately...

1st attempt didn't work, although he seemed to agree. I think he tries again. I'll stand by my decision (offer). Hmm. he is again back to -2.5%... Too bad... Never mind... Time&TheCrowd are on my side. Sooner or later he will cross my exit point... :-) He should be glad that I ask only for...
