I was going to ask the same question today. I'm thinking of LLC, but wouldn't it be also beneficial to have a corporation which will charge that LLC a management fee. This way I can unload the LLC of some of the high tax bracket money. The question is how to use that money so that I don't...

"Bleak Market Monday" article by CNN is market manipulation by association. The article is gone soon after the opening.

I believe this is because of the volatility. The out of the money calls have bigger proportion of their time premium allocated to volatility (for 210 Nov calls Delta = Vega, look at the other greeks to see the whole picture).

I don't think AAPL goes down either but the point to sell Nov call is to minimize time decay. Jan 180 call is out of the money so it's price is all time premium. You'll lose it all by Jan no matter what the stock price will be. The time premium just decays, period.

No: Buy Jan, Sell Nov. Nov decays faster then Jan, so you are protected from that side. If Nov call expires worthless then you have Jan call for less. If Apple gets above 180 before Nov call expires then your profit will be very small. I'd close the spread if price gets to or slightly...

I'd go with calendar call spread to minimize time decay. The one I bought 2 weeks ago is Nov-Jan @180 strike.

I received the security breach letter from Ameritrade today. It says that I'm getting it as a former client. The fact is that I've never been Ameritrade client! I had an account with Datek but I closed it well before the company was bought by Ameritrade. So they sold my closed account too...

What kind of performance would you expect from an automatic trading platform in terms of ticks per second it can handle? I'm doing performance testing of my trading platform and I'm getting between 40,000 and 50,000 ticks per second. The code is written in .net and is running on a 2Ghz dual...

Question for people who have built their own trading platform: How do you handle the overnight gaps when you calculate your intraday indicators? Do you just load the previous day bars at the beginning of the session? If so, do you include pre/after market data? Or you start from the...

The best thing is not to be logged on as administrator all the time. Just create user account for your regular work. When you are logged on as admin you (and therefore any virus, trojan etc.) have access to all system resources.

Look at HSA plans. They provide some tax advantages.

But how about damage control? You may loose additional funds, more than you may be able to recover.

Anyone?

Any feedback on the modulusfe TA-SDK? Has anyone tried it? How about their data feed?

I'm using IQFeed / DTN.IQ. They have good API. But they limit the amount of days you can go back.

Just answer with a formula: 60 miles if cars start at least 100 miles away from each other. Otherwise N% of the 60 miles where N is the distance (in miles) between the cars when they start.

TraderManiac, you had noticed there was a problem, right? So you took advantage of it quaetly. What did you expect? Why you didn't call? So if your bank deposits $1,000,000 into your checking account by mistake will you go on a shopping spree when you know the money don't belong to you?

There are already some solutions in place. Well... they actualy seem to work other way around: http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2006/05/15/8376854/index.htm Do you want yet another solution? How about this: NO MORE SUVs (then continues in fine print: new price of...

There are some problems with the logic here: Illegal immigrants don't have the right to work, correct? So why call this strike? Why everyone is suddenly concerned they don't go to work on the 1st of May? Does it mean they are actually needed here? So then why they are called illegal immigrants?
