Thank you sir Equity options are a new realm to me. The multiplier is 100 so I am all set buying say 5 contracts for 500 shares. On another note, when viewing the option chain, the price for the strike i want to purchase keeps changing, why cannot I not submit my order? (I get the can't...

The pit I am familiar with and spend a good chunk of my days 1 contract means 1 contract. I am not sure you should be posting when you don't know who is on the other side of things. None the less, thanks for the info.

I want to buy 100 call options, is this entered in the quantity as "1" or "100". I just want "the right to buy 100 shares", but the default came up as 1 in the quantity so I dont know if that means 100 or just 1 share. Thanks

Do you know what the ticker is for the 10 year cash on Interactive Brokers? Can you explain what FIT and NOB are? Thanks!

So you do not reccomend trading the ZN with technicals? I have been backtesting some signals for the past couple months or so and I have found there to be decent trends with good signals being generated. I like the ZN because it does not move at a lightening pace and has very good volume.

Wait, you just went form 5k to $700 in a matter of a couple days? And you were trying to grow this money into a rice rocket? Wow. Hope your luck turns around in about 5 minutes. Shuld have traded 10 years or something where you can make decent money off of easy trends for a little while to...

Have a look at that pit just after 11am and you will have an idea what a fire drill looks like. Your comments are incorrect.

I think it is so funny to listen to people looking at those useless boards above Roulette wheels and say "ohhh look, 5 reds in a row, its gonna be black this time, it has to be, the ODDS are against it not being black". Like the god damn ball remembers if it was black or red last time, give...

My only advice to you would be to use Interactive Brokers to keep your comissions nice and low. I do not trade options with them so i am not up to speed on comissions for them, but I would imagine they would be much cheaper than Fidelity.

What is this garbage? Is that a man or a woman talking? Whatever it is, not too sure what the hell he/she is doing huh?

HAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA This is BY FAR the best thread I have ever seen in my short life on ET. Oh my god this is so funny. "Lets go out to the money tree and pick off enough bills for a rice rocket"

You are best to not even ask any questions here because you will 95% of the time get a useless answer by someone who has never even heard of a Bund, Bobl, or any other German debt instrument for that matter.

Exactly. For all of you who have not read it, I reccomend reading "Mr. China", and then let me know if you are willing to put up any money behind any Chinese company. Sure some of them may be great, but I certainly am in no rush to dish out cash as an "investment", pleanty of great investment...

Most of those stupid emails are actually from Nigeria and other places in Africa? I always thought it was some shmuck in Detroit. Quite funny

I think i would pick the ING Orange savings account

If you just read Natenberg once (or five times) I would suggest reading it about a dozen more times.

I can't stand the TWS front end, i have not had issues with data or executions but the front end is terrible, I find book trader much better to work with than the data pages, but I still do not like TWS all that much. That keyboard looks like a real POS by the way.

Has anyone found any RSS Feeds that are real time? I have set up Reuters and Bloomberg RSS feeds but will have to wait until the market day to see if numbers come out in real time on it or if they are delayed. I trade bonds mainly and need economic figures as they are released to act quickly...

I use IB right now and as far as I know they don't offer anything. I'm screwing around with some RSS feeds from Reuters and Bloomberg but i doubt they are updated in real time so it wont do me any good.

I have become quite spoiled down at Merc with the vast array of data service terminals (Bloomberg, Reuters, etc) and the DJ News Wires up on the big boards all day (except the DAX has been busted for a week now........) I want a good news feed that will provide me with the major headlines...
