Can someone give an example of a trade by a true scalper? using something very liquid like the ES mini. To be honest i still dont understand how to execute a true scalper trade and i am sure am not the only one here. Many people loop different very short term strategies with tight...

nytimes heh? what a bunch of bullshit. 1) by 2011, the servers would be many times more powerful than what we currently have, easily able to handle the added capacity 2) by 2011, there will be new/matured bandwidth technology such as the verizon fios, high speed satellite (beginning to be...

nt back then was only for professional use. Many of the games and apps do not work on nt. And 3.1 to 95 is a HUGE upgrade. Dont you remember dealing with all the memory crap on 3.1 modifying the autoexec.bat etc for each different game so they would load... win95 solved most of those...

LOL, jim roger was so pissed in that video. But he does make some good points. Hmm maybe it's time to learn commodity futures.. what about buying wheat and hold it for a year or 2. :p

it depends on the option, unless it has tight bid/ask, placing stops is sometimes more risky than not. Some methods i tried in the past including placing stop on the underlying price level (which usually is much more liquid and doesnt swing like a wild monkey) and have that trigger the...

Are calendar spreads more effectively used when the front month contract is closer to expiration? so to give you higher theta decay and less exposure to the market (price movement)? For example, if i write a calendar spread: SELL MAR PUT BUY JULY PUT Under what condition is it...

here's another funny from optionsxpress. i guess i should just give up trying to trade options on futures with them and wait until my IB account is funded. Buy To Open 10 ESH81250P E-mini S&P 500 MAR 2008 1250 P Limit/Sell 2.50 Day Order Sell To Open 10 ESH81270P E-mini S&P 500 MAR 2008...

lehman is very conservative and has one of the most experienced and respected management teams on wall street, led by dick fuld who built the company from the ground up back when it was just a bond shop takeover target after the american express merger fiasco.

fyi just to close this out if anyone else is using the same. I spoke with the futures tech at optionsxpress, basically margin calculation doesnt work for options on futures, so it will dispaly 0...and you wont know your margin requirement until after placing the trade (unless it exceeded your...

TOS is the first broker i tried as i heard it has one of the best options platforms, unfortunately it doesnt seem to allow options on futures trading. I tried the demo and couldnt get the chains, and also asked the customer service, which didnt quite get it either what future as underlying...

thanks i will look through them. But do you happen to know if such function exist in IB? I did check out all the buttons/charts etc.. before contacting CS. It's a very common function for options, bit surprised it's so difficult to find (if exist)

Hi, How do you get the Profit&Loss chart at Expiration for options in InteractiveBrokers? Something similar to the attached screenshot (the profit&loss chart). After spending about 2 hrs in chat with customer service, the lady has not a clue what i am asking even after showing her the...

commiebat, i am a bit confused. At optionsxpress anything not cash cant be used as margin i dont think. Here's an example, 1) I have $10000 worth of stock, try to write an option, says i dont have enough cash(margin) to do this. 2)I have $10000 cash, try to write an option, says i have...

why not SOLF? is there something wrong with this stock. just dropped below the support. havent been really following solar much

no

i must missed the boat, wtf are you guys talking about? link?

heh nicely done, never get tired of brits' humor...

sadly this is true, do you really think he cares THAT much about the prices currently? 1) His investment horizon is much further out 2) his fund is unlimited (until the oil runs out)

tma will have nothing left after the call, nada. Except maybe office chairs and desks. Delta is a completely different story. There maybe a surge due to speculation, but do you really want to bet on that? Only play this, if you think there will be a bailout/rescue, othewise it's dead.
