Hi guys, had. question, as I never really calculated net returns, I just make my play and know what it makes in premium, but never what it is NET ( commission, margin, tax rate you are at ) do you guys use some software, an excel sheet, app, or don't even calculate it fully?? I was honestly...

HELL NO, my reasons, last four months it's had 3 drops.. one from 179-155. upside is at 5.81 %, when we are coming out of that drop couple months back, warren says one thing and it's gonna fly, and you are closing before earnings I believe.. also this is the most valuable company... nope not...

hi guys, wanna talk credit spreads.. call me a dunce for not using them yet, but I always just found the naked put or call to work.. minus my learning experience of over leveraging when I first started.. some of my questions using credit spreads are: 1. can you get an advantage to using cost...

such as...

HI guys, from what I understand, traditional stocks selling gives you a cost basis advantage when talking commissions when you say buy and sell stock.. what I want to know, is what happens to options sellers. Do we get any "special treatment" regarding commissions as some commissions run very...

I would like to hear what you speak of, I know of no such trades, besides blowing up your account or losing it in a couple bets

yeah would love to see this as it's annoying as heck to have 30 options to scroll through

no, it happens every single time I try to log into site from computer asked IB so I'll see what they say

^ what does yours look like, a year ago, I got one and it's the gold one on their site..

^ hard time understanding what that means, but even if you had no cash, it's no difference then if you had cash sitting on the side... you can buy securities ( stocks ) with the cash, but keep in mind the more you buy, the less margin you can borrow.. the rate on that at IB is you can borrow...

been having it lately even when I log in for about 10 minutes

the column in question is TRANSACTION, I did click he ? mark, this the third photo I supplied.. this still doesn't make any sense, as these expired worthless so there should not be a negative number, as then total shows a lesser amount, which would be wonderful for taxes, but obviously there...

hi guys, another noob question, as to be honest I have always calculated my gains differently then ever looking at the statement, but was just looking there tonight and noticed something I have no clue how to read it, pics below wondering what this catagory I highlighted in yellow, called...

footnote states I am a retard for not reading it over a couple of times.. they apparently talk about physical cash being handed to them, and they don't accept it, so if they did they would charge a 1% fee for handling. man I was starting to freak out for a little, hahaha

Hi guys, was just looking on IB at some misc. section and found something odd wanted to double check, as I was going to transfer more money into IB.. this is what I saw, that cannot be right, that if you deposit money into IB they charge 1% of it??? so for a simple example, you get a big...

doesn't IB have a ticker box clearance for Hong Kong index and options,, always just a text away as thats how I always communicate with them. did you look under permission and click Asia yet?? interested though what you want to trade specifically as no one talks about this! I am getting...

HI guys, anyone else having the problem trying to log into computer, it says text got sent to phone and to click link, but I never get it, and have to manual enter access code.. real pain.. anyone else experiencing this

there is is no way you should get margin call with 50% cash or available balance left, what you are going to get hit with very very soon is whats called expense fees from IB, let me calculate real quick when they kick in.. assuming full cash account otherwise 25% in margin gets deducted if...

wow, like my expense fee margin I got today even though I had less borrowed out then yesterday, and half my positioned closed today..... no one gets to complain unless they have 10k in expense fees already this year, like me.. LOL, good old IB. if it wasn't for the low margin rates, I would...
