Wow, I will need a few days to study your post but very interesting indeed. Thanks

Thank you .sigma, very helpful. I thought it meant asymmetrical by being short upside skew.

When you say "short the upside skew" referring to this fly, does it mean it's a credit fly with the loss exposure on the long side? This thread became one of my favorite and I am trying to understand and learn as much as possible.

Sweden is regretting and admitting misjudgment of the pandemic. Their cases and deaths are at all time high and increasing.

I am concerned about what I read on the margin algo issues of IB. Because of that I never push it and I try to use no leverage, unless it's an options where I might have some naked exposition but only on debit spreads or longs. I have to admit that in 5 years, the few times that I have...

You are mixing science with incompetence at running governments and managing a pandemic in today's world. The fact that our governments, most of them at least, are made of useless narcissistic money scavengers spineless beings without a soul who couldn't run a bath, has nothing to do with...

Did we go to nursery togheter? Because I don't remember you man... and you assume to know shit about me with your post? I didn't come here to discuss my health but to mock the idiocy and ignorance of anti-vax and covid deniers in general.

It's not so easy to find a broker that offers security and access to all markets exchanges and trading instruments for this cost. It would probably be better to discuss alternatives than hoping for a change at ib.

Of course I'll take it. I am not rushing for it, I am not in a priority group but I am definitely not afraid. I took so much crap in my body for the sake of fun, I will take some more if it helps me and the rest to go back to normality... By 2022! No-vax and various deniers will not do it (won't...

I understand. I don't like vxx as a long, for long term for obvious reasons. I am a tiny small 1 future or option contracts, or 100-200 share, trader so volume rarely concerns me, I should probably consider it better next time. I noticed that the VXZ options were out of this world. I can not...

Tipycal stubbornness of Brexit Brits, thank god a minority: 17mil on 66mil. Which company left the continent to move to the UK because of brexit? Because the list of companies, and brokers, who moved or open extra offices in the EU zone is long. You bring up stuff from the year 1200 like the...

I wasn't concerned about volume yet but if it could work as hedge or if it was tricky like the VXX

Oh... And how about "all the countries in the world will queue to have a deal with us" Or "this deal will be a walk in the park"? A propaganda made of silly slogans. And now that they can't negotiate a deal because the counterparty is way stronger and firmer on protecting their own members...

Typical blaming game of brexiters: it's always Johnny foreigner's fault. Now that they can't get the deal they want, it's the EU fault. Some british people have so much pride that they would shoot themself on their foot instead of accepting wrongdoings. Just look at the slavery trade. Other...

I don't think there is anything more idiotic than Brexit.

Did he do it manually? I thought he was using hft algo that he created in his parent's house bedroom... I would love to have a coffee with that man. :D

The big deal is a no deal... That is why they don't even know how and what. Total uncertainty. Not even BJ knows how and what. And we ain't seen nothing yet.

Does anybody deal with VXZ? Maybe better as a portfolio hedge long volatility than short, but I wondered about its structure as it is a new entry.

"Naked options refer to an option sold without any previously set-aside shares or CASH to fulfill the option obligation at expiration." From investopedia. Aren't they the same type of trade, with a difference in the cash balance?
