Really? I had heard that they internalize order flow. If things have changed, I would be interested in talking with them.

If you route your option order through Citadel, I'm pretty sure they(Ken Griffin & co). take the other side of your trade. I think they may even give our firm owner some kind of a credit for each order routed. Too bad its unreliable and hardly any of us route through them.

On the surface, the roll strategy appears almost silly to most, as it did to me. After reading the book "Inside the House of Money", one of the macro managers interviewed Jim Leitner of Falcon Mngmt. and he is constantly on the lookout for strats that "real $$"(long only) funds look for. I...

It could've been her son Danny. I'm wondering why she was so adamant about refusing the paternity test?

You must send orders to the "smart route" to get this rate, correct? Otherwise to trade on an exchange of choice you pay $1.75 per contract,regardless of volume, correct?

Wow, congratulations Pekelo on your equity curve, very nice indeed! You were right about ppl not understanding options. Oh well, I'm just happy to be a profitable trader these days. May 2007 be a prosperous year to you!

Here's mine. I stopped supporting it in November, not enough interest and entering option spread orders are a pain in the a**. http://www.collective2.com/cgi-perl/xcharts.mpl?systems=20300525&log=1&session=40925204875565510433624940818773117&return=publicdetails20300525...

Someone in our trading room today asked what a straddle was. Everybody laughed at him! He's been around a while and knows how to trade, it was just some funny comic relief.

Now that's one of the best compliments I can possibly get! confusing me with one of the best options traders out there, that made my day, thanks! Good trading to you too. :D

I know how you always have to have the last word so this will be my final post this thread. A nickel is a daytrade, scalp, whatever the hell you want to call it. Arb rarely happens whether its conv.rever., divi arb, merger,whatever, most shops that do that pay under $.20/contract. I don't...

You're right. I didn't marry into money. I don't have a brother in law(or wife or whoever it is) who allocates me capital that I can blow on worthless, boneheaded exotic index bets. I will take my nickel on a 100 lot for sure. Twice a day that's a grand x 250 trading days, that's a...

You sound pretty sure of yourself as to my profitability. So that was an imaginary net $8,300 check I just cashed? The fact is I'm going to make $200K this year off my deposit. contingency=trading other world markets And okay, I'm not considered a 'professional' trader because I didn't...

I most certainly am. And made 10K on a 10K account in December. Want me to post it?

Wrong again champ. First, I am profitable. That is a fact. And this cboe circular doesn't exactly have me shaking in my boots. When did I ever say I could make markets in pennies? Try to read first, whos the delusional one, lol? Maybe you just wanted me to say that so much you thought I said...

market microstructure hasn't changed, what do u think we'll all go back to retail? HA! Try again. edit: yeah, you're right, I'm gonna take my money and open up a TDameritrade account, they give you free charts right?:D

False!

I just started 3 months ago and I've made $14K on a $10K deposit. In October when I started I was trading 1 and 2 lots, a five lot seemed really frisky at the time. I'm now swinging 80 to 180 lots depending on how expensive the stock is to hedge. I'm still having some buying power issues...

Agreed. US equities will be ruined once pennies become widespread. Already looking to move to Europe or Australia to trade equity derivatives.
