Yup, the MMs did modify the system. People can't use this trick against the MMs anymore. On second thought, people still can use this trick, actually, a modification version of this trick!

metooxx, I think I can find an article on that, but I am not sure it's the same one though. But I think you'll find the article interesting. The link is at Yahoo option forum, I hope it's still still. I'll check it and poist it here later for you. It's a very interesting concept in which...

That's a really interesting point, yes I agree, Options Market Makers are crooks. They are ripping people off of the huge spread. But you know what, in my process of scalping for myself, I help out the general public too by giving them a better price to buy or sell at. If I am successful in...

Vulture, Here's why: Scalping stocks with $100k capital and making $.05 per share with 10 round trades in a stock worth $30 gives you the following profit: 3333 shares X .05 = 166.65/round trade 166.65 X 10 round trades = 1666.5 (before commission), or about 1.6% return on capital...

trdrmac, I appreciate your comment. Obviously, you have an extensive knowledge about the issue. Yes, I have considered those questions, as suggested by you, earlier. First of all, I will not scalp in illiquid options. Second, I will make sure that I will be the first on the best...

Babak, I'll try my best to answer your question, but I'll stick mainly with the rules imposed by the exchanges. It might helps if you check out the 'institutions and rules' link at www.amex.com (at the bottom of the page) Whatever ideas you get from these rules will be up to you, because...

Hm, I am glad people are thinking scalping options is not possible! Less competition to deal with!

Thanks! Anyway, I take it that you're trading in a Prop. firm. I can safely assume that you're paying cheap commission per option contract. Could I ask how much you're paying? I guess this is not something that is totally confidential. I want to know so that should my scalping is...

Many people out there are scalping stocks, but I wonder why nobody even considers scalping options? Are there anyone who's doing this right now? If so, let's discuss strategies to compete with the MMs! I have one or two, and will be glad to share my insight!

You guys are talking only about scalping stocks. Has anyone even consider scalping equity options is more profitable?

Yes, I am aware of the risk involved. BTW, how successful are you in the business of scalping? And, are there any pointers for a new scalper? I see a weakness in the auto-ex. system which allows me to compete with the MMs. How are you guys doing this? What weaknesses in the system do...

Actually, there is a way to compete with the MMs on the floor by taking advantage of the auto-ex. system! Meaning, you can sell or buy at a better price than you would normally get.

Has anyone consider trading (scalping) equity options???
