I disagree with this statement. Mainly the "ease" of generating 30-50% returns. If something was "fairly" easy, a lot of people would be doing it. OR maybe I'm just doing something wrong.

risk free...haha. I used to think the market was an investment, now I just look at it as a way to gamble my money with better odds. Earlier this year, I actually found a theoretically risk free investment in arbitrage with loan interest rates and savings/gic interest rates. ING was offering 3%...

For the naked put sellers, isn't that because we were in a bull market for the last two years?

Hey, this is for all the Torontonians out there. The Tomorrows gas prices today website makes predictions on the up or down movement of Gas in Toronto and surrounding areas. That being said, has anyone considered using this to forecast the movement of OIL ETF's like USO? They've been pretty...

Hey guys, if you look at some of the contests on updown.com, some users are posting ridiculous returns...i.e one guy is posting 8000%. How is this possible? do you think this guy is hacking the system in some way?

Hi, I'm still new to trading. I basically broke even in my first year of trading options, made a little profit, but nothing to celebrate over. What I've read online: 1) low vol = you should buy spreads, high vol = sell spreads 2) options/market movements are based on probability (normally...

Hey Guys! I trade on CAD and US exchanges. I used a screener today on tmx.com to find undervalued stocks. Current market is overpriced IMO, but figure there is still some value especially if the stocks run inverse to the market. My inputs are: 1) Book value per share: 5 - 500 Reasoning -...

Hey OldNemesis, I know you're not here to provide advice or any thing, but I'm just curious with your low risk long expiration trades, what is your return on your portfolio for the year?

a lot of that was over my head in terms of what terms youre using example FAS, gl, spread between trade( i know what spread means but not sure in the context youre using). i assume your algo is compensating for changes in market cycles? whenbyou say hedging, are you referring to your algo...

okay zdreg, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have called you condescending. If thats what you're looking for, there it is. I could easily just not come to this thread, but I'm man enough to at least apologize when I know I've over reacted and continued this argument this far.

yeah ive used google and wasnt able to find anything..thanks for youe help. im just gonna call them and ask.

yeah ill do that, thanks. just interactive brokers is terrible with customer service.

just read that entire thing, what im getting from that is i may have to notify my broker to exercise the long. so that being said, on expiration day, you can exercise the long and potentially have your short expire worthless if that day the stock closes below your short position?
