I've been seeing and watching the same thing... last monday I was buying calls on QQQ. I'm watching this action closely. The nasdaq seems incredibly slow to move. I know that there is a lot of resistance here, but geez. When the the S&P moves 15 pts I expect the NDX to move more than just...

lol, exactly

OMG! :eek: That had to be gut wrenching! And I thought I had bad stories! Christ!

Congratulations...I'm glad that you're making money...it should hold you over when your irrational strategy and egotism lead you into times that aren't worthy of congratulations.

Quite ambiguous, would you please rephrase?

For remote traders, there is no doubt that ISE kicks a$$. Trying to trade over the CBOE's electronic market is complete BS. I've had too much crap happen for it to be a coincidence. Just do a search on some of my comments on other options threads if you're curious. Also, while the spread...

lmfao

yes, in Cleveland

this is pathetic. don't we have constructive ideas/ concepts to exchange?

ANY Accounting error would bother me and is serious. Assuming that IB was in error, if they couldn't recognize their error of 70 cents I would quickly wonder what their behavor would be like if the error was for a larger sum of money. 70 cents is no big deal, but in the accounting world 1...

:D

How would this be that much different from what we already have? Most of the people in the chat room now watch and trade futures all day. Of course futures aren't all that is traded, but they are mentioned frequently.

Wow, I had almost the same problem with IB/PHLX about a year ago! ...except for the margin issue. I do my best not to route to PHLX anymore.... I feel your pain...lucky enough for me though they busted the trades the same day cus I raised a fus....

EBAY EBAY EBAY. I boght two new 18" dells for a total with shipping of $800.

Well, I use IB and I lost all of my quotes for a few minutes. That includes futures, stocks, and options. Also, I just want to add, that the only way to avoid such insane market swings is to NOT pamper the guy who is the cause. If you pamper him and bust his trades then what incentive...

I agree with most of the opinions already expressed. The biggest frustrating thing about this is that there is no way, as a trader, to plan for or avoid this shit. Their decisions are entirely arbitrary. What sucks the most is that CBOT is screwing themselves. What they most obviously...

Vega, are you forgetting that I'm talking about options on OEX?

This is easy to explain since options on this stock are traded on multiple exchanges... you simply found a better offer at a different exchange than you were currently bidding at/on. (AMEX/CBOE/ISE/PSE/PHLX...)

thanks for your comments. However, my order was electronic sent via IB TWS. THAT is why I'm so confused.

Interesting insights. I don't like the original poster of this thread, BUT I was trading OEX options on expiration friday last month and became confused. I was trying to sell my calls at 1.50 and had the order outstanding for a few minutes. I saw my order come up in TWS as the best offer...
