I called this morning and they said ES today with only single, limit orders. Several other products are scheduled for next week, but we all know what "next week" means, so we just have to wait and see. If you are an active trader you should call and negotiate your rate.

Oh sorry, I thought we were talking about trading options. Feel free to continue your discussion of an arbitrarily chosen mathematical formula with speculation used to fill in the unknown, stochastic variables. When you find an index that has a flat vol curve, you be sure to let us know.

And as to in the money vs. out of the money, it is obviously irrelevant. You can use the 1360 Calls and 1455 Puts in my example and, because of put/call parity, the results are the same. The 1360 Calls closed 67.10 and the 1455 Puts closed 60.3. The out of the money Calls (and therefore the...

This thread is a mess. It is not a matter of anyone thinking you are wrong, you are either not communicating your point correctly or you have no idea what you are talking about. To say that in "any futures contract" "a put is worth less than a call if they are equally out of the money" is a...

Yes, there was an issue with continuity of the backup data feed that they want to make sure is working properly before live trading starts. If it is not Next Monday it will be soon thereafter.

That’s nice for you joeactuary, we get it, you love IB. I have stated over and over again IB and TOS are very different companies and always will be. I can't imagine why a professional trader would waste time with anything as small as a 20 lot. People like you are the exact reason the life...

Yep, that is why I said "supposed to." The new target date is May 5th. We know they are close and actually working on it, but I am not going to hold my breath to see if they push it back again come next weekend.

Sent a pm, but for everyone else too: On the thinkorswim.com website under "why think or swim" and click "rate, commissions, and fees" the listed rate for EX/Rates#2 for Options is .95 per contract with a 19.95 minimum per leg so if you are trading more than 20 contracts then it is worth it...

Their advertized rate is .95 per contract all in for anyone trading over 20 contracts, so if you are a large trader you can obviously get a little better than that. Also they just updated their target date for options on futures to May 5th. We'll have to wait and see if that get changed also.

I don’t disagree with you one bit if you are just trading, email, surfing, etc. If you are doing things like trying to edit HD video and burn it to Blu-ray, as well as get the most out of the best games then you will need more.

Never had Raid0 before and that is how they send them so I wanted to try it and see if the "extreme performance" is true. I have an external Maxtor that I backup everything on, so Raid1 isn't a priority. Gnome will probably throw something at me, but this computer only comes with Vista so my...

Did you change your mind about the market making it to the 50 week ma? Any hints as to how large the stop is or your target?

I was under the impression they are Raptors so I called and doubled checked, and they are Raptors. Nice equipment you have there, a family member is a professional guitar player in California and he says the only thing that makes him feel better about his house going down in price so much is...

I know, I know. Its already overboard, but if my wife can spend 5k on washer/dryer and fridge (apparently they all need LCD screens now) then I figure after decades of buying middle of the road equipment to save money I think overspending once wont kill me.

It is two of the new ATI 1GB cards, so a total of 2GB of video. The specs for the hard drive are an exact quote from them, you can see them on their website. The price I noted in terms of ES was for everything including the monitors, extra warranty, battery backup, etc.

But the Alienware mesh cap, mousepad, and binder are "free". Doesn't that make it worth it?:p

That was my first question when I called them - is dealing with them the same as dealing with Dell. They assured me, and I can confirm it so far, that they are run as a separate and independent entity from Dell.

I figure I am doing my part to help the US economy, and I don't even get a rebate check. I ordered a new Alienware machine, so for anyone thinking of buying from them I will let you know how my experience goes. They say it will take several weeks to get because only one guy builds and tests...

See how much easier it is to trade with the trend, I can't remember his name but I think he goes by B1S2 that says you should always trade with the trend.:)

Not in anyway a comment in favor of anyone, but I just thought this was funny regardless of who you want to win: "We in Denmark cannot figure out why you are even bothering to hold an election. On one side, you have a Bitch who is a lawyer, married to a lawyer, and then you have a lawyer...
