There once was peace. But then in 1946 the jews came and founded israel and started killing. Sadly they had the connections to government of us and wall street... Homemade rockets agains hightech ones. Poorly armed Soldiers against Helicopters, stonethrowing kids against heavily armed...

Quote from TraderZones: Perhaps YOU can explain Hamas constantly sending rockets into Israel that led up to this? What would you do when people claim a part of your country? Israel totally took over Palästina. If russia took over us and killed your family wouldnt you build a bomb or two...

Boykott israeli products. If you see israeli products in the shop, put em in the shopping cart and stuff em back in the shelfs somewhere else in the shop. Will result in the shop owner taking the products out of the range. Only income they have left. US is putting their money in own...

Hamas terrorists = Family fathers who fight against the jewish cancer called Israel. Before 1946 Palästine was a peaceful country and then the jews arrived. THey found out that Palästine forgot to claim to be a state and so some people from other side of the world jumped in and founded...

riskfreetrading are you mainly selling options? Are you always hedged? Is it a problem when your market becomes illiquid due to a black swan event? Sorry for asking such direct questions but being right > 90% of the time always rings my alarm bells.

goldenarm, you said: At my trading desk, 9 out of 10 traders have been net positive consistently for months to years. In the last two years even a noob could make money daytrading. We saw that from 2000 to 2003. Everyone was making money daytrading while longer term traders had a really...

So are we getting somewhere here? Maestro is trading options. He is > 95 profitable ( which includes 98.6% by the way ) on a monthly base. But he didnt tell how much he is making. Is it over or under 5% and is the big part comming from market making? Currently we have a daytraders market...

Please be avare that us-stocks data is practically worthless for backteting because of false ticks. I accept stock backtest results only if they use market orders in and out. Limit or stop orders give dramatically different results compared to real trading. The ones buying at 10% below...

I guess going short Eurodollar futures, right? Can eurodollar move higher than 100 even though that would mean negative interest rates?

Its because the big players need cash to cover some losses elsewhere ( heard there were some lossed in subprime mortgages or something ). So they put their blackboxes on pause until they can free some money to turn them back on. Exchanges prolly demand more margin from institutional players...

Why would someone go long GS short LEH or any other spread? When LEH falls hard, GS will fall too and not rise. The trend of the spread will be shorter than going short LEH and skip the GS leg. More profit for less buck and less commissions. A spread always has lesser trend and more chop. So...

Speculators dont drive markets. They provide liquidity. And the usuall small trader is shorting uptrends because it looks too high. Unless we have a very tricky cornering here, this all doesnt make sense. Maybe the chinese are more trendfollowers and like to spike a market.

Why didnt they hedge when they started the business? It should have been the first thing to do.

Today UAUA cost me 23% of my account. OK that happens but what is actually the logic behind their business? Lets open an airline firm and when oil is hitting 120+ sometime we are out off business? Why are they not hedging their fuel needs? In my view its an essential thing when running...

QQQQ is at 45.5. June Calls 10% higher ( 50 ) cost 0.43. So i buy 1000 stocks for $45500. I get $430 premium 70% of every three month period = $301. I would have to wait 450 month to make 100% Btw MSFT was at 29 yesterday, not 25. The MSFT example would take multiple times longer...

Thanks MTE My plan was to buy a stock and hold it forever and sell calls on it. I am not interested in the stock rising, just collecting premium until i earned more than what i paied for the stock. Then ad a 2nd stock and so on. But when i see your calculation and add the ~30% exercised...

Hi Help an options novice and fill in the numbers please. Lets asume i bought 1000 MSFT stocks at 25. I sell MSFT 30 Calls with 3 month livetime left for the 1000 stocks. Thats 10 contracts right? They trade at about...? ( Do i have to multiply that price x 100? ) What is the...

Yep you are right. On NYSE a pit-guy handles the order and makes the closing print. On Nasdaq, if not routed to Amex, the moc order is simulated by broker who submits a market order at 3:59:58 or so. http://individuals.interactivebrokers.com/en/trading/orders/moc.php?ib_entity=llc Amex...

Thanks Don. I am trading Nasdaq exclusively. Is it a different story there?
