Ok I found the real problem. Operator error. I tried to buy market order and interface was set to limit with a price of 0.00, so it sent a limit order for 0.00. When I clicked on Buy it did not give me an error or indication anything went through, so I thought it just wouldn't let me do that. I...

I found out that somehow an order made it into my broker from SierraChart but Sierra did not show the order. I contacted the broker and fixed it. It was never filled, but still open. The dashboard was correct, SierraChart was not. Scary.

Can someone tell me how the previous day's trades on ES affect the next day's available margin?

Everyone is different. Maybe, just maybe, you can't trade like your mentor. I know myself pretty well, so I can tell you, for me, I can't trade multiple instruments. I look at one or two and get to know them well. I set daily losses and stick to them. I set daily targets and stop when I get...

So I watched a put strike with 0.67 delta just before a large downward price movement - when the delta went above 0.70 the bid stopped moving, i.e the spread kept...

I wasn't. I don't trade FOMC days.

It could be that all the volume is on one side.

I am not sure of anything.

I know, but the ask moves, just not the bid.

I like to daytrade the current SPY option expiration. The spreads, up until now, have been good and only widen marginally, if at all, when the price moves. However, the last week or so I have noticed much wider spreads and if I do find an acceptable spread and the underlying goes my way the...

I mentioned in another thread that I have noticed the 1 min charts now look like the 3 and 5 min charts, so just use the 1 min timeframe.

I noticed today that the 1 min chart looked like a 5 min chart normally does
