StockApprentice: I think I'd scream about that one. For all the good it will do you. I think this is a cosequence of no multiple listings on OEX.....among other things.

Did anyone see the statement made by LaBranche the other day? He actually had the nerve to say that the specialist system was there to protect the small investor.

It was SMART routed but only CBOE trades that series. The OEX

Well here's a new one on me; Today I entered an order to sell 23 contracts @3.00. The current ask was 3.10. After sixty seconds 10 contracts @ 3.00 display on the ask only to be immediately over ridden by 55 @ 3.10. This continued for about an hour. They would display 10 @ 3.00 but...

Metoox is right that PHLX does it all the time and PSE is getting the same way. Phlx almost always holds the order for two minutes prior to execution. Have your TWS set up so that all exchanges show the contract you're trading. Either use direct routing or don't bother with the trade if its...

Actually both AON & FOK apply as well to options. FOK= Fill or Kill. Essentially the same as IOC. Good idea though to start a thread like this on a relatively new instrument.

How many cancels? That seems astronomical for one day>

I read a few days ago that Michael Oxley, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, (rep from Ohio) is busting the balls of the SEC over a similar issue. Perhaps an email and/or letter to him might result in some additional scrutiny. Michael G. Oxley Ohio-4th, Republican 2308...

There is indeed validity in Sail's quote. That doesn't mean one can't be successful trading options. Apparently NOMOREOPTIONS ? QDZ 1,2,3,4 can't or won't make the effort to learn. Sounds like an entitlement whiner to me.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Well no it wouldn't be paranoid but here's how CBOE works it.....at least on OEX. Lets say the spread is 10.00 x 11.00 and you enter a buy order at 10.40. The MM looks it over first and it gets displayed internally. If no one on the floor wants the trade it gets posted to the bid side...

Sounds as though you're trying to get between the spread; or are you trying to lift the ask?

Rally through thursday's close.....down on Monday.

After two days with the cancel in full effect it seems obvious to me that it is a ploy to; 1. Keep your order at a particular exchange 2. Make a fee whether a trade takes place or not 3. Try to force traders to pay the spread 4. An attempt to sidestep electronic linkage ( a whole new...

Market opens here at 0530 and closes at noon. Leaves all day to do something else. It's great.

That's often true but not the part about amiable relations. It's usually done to obtain the stranger's supply of alcohol in exchange. Sort of the reverse of what I did growing up in L.A. That is, apply the alcohol to the intended target....you know the drill. SUNNI; The "lower 48" still...

Alaska; and please don't lump us in with Pacific or hawaii. We refer to those as "the states" or "outside".

Finally the crux of Hii's position. He still can't get past the 2000 election.

If you are a less than silent majority, why do polls show over 70+% support for the war ? A nation is it's people, not it's government. I believe you will see many Iraqis supporting coalition forces rather than taking up arms against them. From your posts I assume you believe that France...
