Well I just bought something, not sure if it's a dip or not. :)

This really isn't that big of a deal guys...

This is worth watching if you have the time: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5547481422995115331

I was going to bring that up but didn't feel like trying to explain it to "Day Natenberg". I got a call a while back from someone from the CBOE telling me that the SPX was going to be on Hybrd Light, and I thought it was already in production. We have a trader that plays between the S and the...

day, Keep trading spx, and good job on finding this "middle the market" gem of a strategy. I can't believe someone hadn't thought of that by now. I am going to try and apply it in other arenas as well. I bet I could have knocked off at least a couple hundred of dollars off the price of my...

You are so clueless I wouldn't even know where to start explaining how the SPX pit works. Your one lots aren't screwing anyone. If anything they may annoy a broker that has to yell at Lynwood to have him put one of your prices up on the screen, most just book the order anyway, and the other...

Wow are they selling this rally hard on CNBC or what? Maria is on the street smiling and yelling like it's the today show. Everything is fine and sunny here in the mkt. It's nuts.

Now THERE'S and idea for a channel.

Yeah, I couldn't believe he said that. Why would he make such a crazy statement, with the odds of him being right are astronomically against him? That must have been him loading up on es in the middle of the night.

Are the DIAs still primarily listed on the AMEX? They are having system issues and are not yet open this morning. Place a marketable limit.

Futures on the indexes trade even though the indexes are not open.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

To CBOE,CFE traders: Thu Aug 16 12:23:42 2007 EST Effective immediately, the minimum margin for all VIX calendar spreads (index options and futures) will increase from $150 to $250.

From what I remember you get filled on the last print. So if I was scummy, I could monitor a universe of thinly traded stocks. Say the last print on ABC Corp was 31.42 which was a minute ago. Since then the market has rallied a bit and the current mkt on ABC is 31.58 - 31.62. I now have my...

I think the only way would be to turn off sheet calcs all together, and that may be too much for you. Maybe it's possible to turn them off for a particular worksheet or range.

It's a legacy issue on the NYSE/AMEX. They have a shitty old system that fills odd lots on the last print instead of the bid for sells and the ask for buys. People take advantage of this in fast markets when the quotes are locked and enter hundreds of orders (BUY 99 MKT, BUY 99 MKT, etc) and get...

Yeah, she showed up and wasn't too happy. We did our best to slow her down. I miss the fun on the floor.

That was our broker MLV. There was a shitload of cash riding on it, and open outcry trades going up while he was doing it. Anyone who knew Danny bet with him. :) Since there was some fear from nonbelievers that he might die or something, we weren't sure where to do it. So we called the Ceres...

I just wanted to say welcome to the forum, and thanks for trading. I need all the help I can to skew my P&L this year and you seem to be the kind of guy I want in the mkt. Happy Holidays! :)

I think Soros scooped him up. :)
