got it, thanks.

how do i create my own version of this chart (see attachment) in excel, beginning with only daily closing price data? any help would be greatly appreciated! ben

it is interesting, there is a lot of bearish USD/JPY sentiment, but realistically it has been putting in lower lows since the 'bottom' at 115.20ish. as the nikkei continues to get killed its continued sensitivity to a rate hike has become apparent- and it is possible that the carry trade will...

what the heck is OMNI?

I am interested in selling puts on an index etf for long term investment purposes. I hope to collect the premium, but would be happy to be assigned the shares since i will hold them until i am old. The other element of this plan is that I will not act all at once - I will sell the puts so...

sorry to hear that. i think this may be a bigger move back towards the 1.16ish level, but we shall see. i am not making any bets.

interesting. my instincts say short USD/CAD below 1750 - the recovery from the recent weakness seems to be a little sluggish. that being said....relative to the strength of crude you would expect to see the looney acting a little stronger than it is...

if you use IB, you could try using the market scanner and screening for option implied volatility... or if you got creative with the criteria, maybe the yahoo screener would do it...

if it crosses back above the 'valley' low, then the original reason for putting on the trade is no longer valid (it is no longer a double top) so you might consider getting out if this condition is met... a more important question to ask yourself is why in the world should you think this...

On page 2 of 'products' in the IB Feature Poll, someone has added the suggestion of allowing IB customers to participate....in case you want to vote ;) ben http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/general/poll/poll.php?ib_entity=llc#cat_pro

it is amazing how the market always manages to confound its participants - the market had already exploded when this post was made - and those who followed its advice probably bought the top of this mornings ethanol action as we trended down through most of the afternoon for only a small gain on...

"BENCHI----Make up your mind. If you knew when to get out of a loser and when to add-on to it, you're saying that you can precisely forecast the market," I don't see how i'm being inconsistent here - i didn't claim to be able to forecast the market - all i said was that i did not think that...

part of what i'm saying is that money management is not a good enough reason to give up on a trade (within reason of course) there are consistent ways of defining value, and if you have one then you can make the distinction between when to cut a loser and when to double down....

One of the problems I see with using Price to gauge the strength of a market is that it does not give the technician any sense of value. If you put on a position based on the strength of a market as determined by its price, you have no reason to have any confidence in your position as it runs...

thanks bruto, will check these out.

I am looking for a way to find correlations between lesser known instruments... Would plugging IB's API into Excel, harvesting the data and performing the necessary calculations do the trick? Can anyone suggest an easier way or know of a program that already exists? I am a programming...

same stuff - it will look slightly larger on the 22 inch though

Okay, This is admittedly a long shot, but is anyone running the Nikkei Mini through Market Delta on IB? If so, I would appreciate some help setting up this symbol - I cannot seem to make it work. Thanks, Ben
