    Trading on congressional legislation?

    Rearden.... I'm with you... really I am. And I'll be voting this fall for the first time in a while... But... when one considers the gravity and the apparent impossibility of the situation... there is not much more we can do but SHRUG. Who is John Galt?

    Poll: Choose between 2 traders

    That's such a weird poll/question. The question is really about consistency. There's a lot of questions regarding risk... time in trades... stress involved in opening the trades... etc. The point of any trader is to CONSISTENTLY make a profit. If you do this, size is only a function of...

    Does free ram available affect speed

    YES DEFINITELY.... when there is no RAM available the cpu has to find an alternative place to store information... one of the next available locations is.. your hard drive/disk (AKA Swap). The hard drive is significantly slower than your RAM.

    Playing Rolling options

    my only thought is how easy is it to actually get filled with market makers competing.. What's the size of the bid and offer? Cus if it's like 10k then a few hundred shares a day isn't going to net a fill... at least that's my initial thought.

    Um. Um.... what' s worse, people stealing valuables, which, for the most part, have little value? <b>or</b> Police shooting and killing unarmed citizens without questioning, arrest, or trial because they THINK that they may be looting. It's a sad day, yes. But check your emotions at the door...

    YEAH... it's a surprising little fact that most people just starting out with IB don't know. IB goes down for system maintenance every night around 23:30 - 24:00 until 00:30 - 00:45. I hope that this helps

    High Probability Low-Risk Set Up

    Exactly. But let me expound on what kiwi_trader said..... The phrase: High Probability Low-Risk Set Ups does not <b>necessarily</b> imply anything about average wins/losses or % wins/losses. It simply means what it states.

    A perfect strategy ... ? Yes ...

    I don't like this idea... you're only doing a little arbitrage... and if you're holding it long term you can't possiblly be making a very high percentage rate.. Not to mention transaction fees... and if you're constantly exiting to avoid dividends... and constantly rolling over futures...

    Options on emini S&P

    if your analysis was correct the options for that 'off' month would behave like underlying futures contracts rather than like options.... that can't be. So, what must be the case is that the stated policy which you referenced above must only apply to ITM options...which are the only options...
