I understand your point, but I disagree with your analogy. In the case of the maze, the choice of going left or right is mutually exclusive for the same event. For the trading setups, the mutually exclusive choice would be trading the setup as a reversal or a breakout. You advise to always...

TRO, why do you say that a trader should only follow green rat or red rat reversals, and not both? Why can't you play on both teams?

I think the most interesting output is the probability of touch, which is approx TWICE the probability of the option finishing ITM. For example, if we assume the delta is approx the prob of finishing ITM, then a 30D option has a 30% chance of expiring ITM and a 60% chance of touching ATM during...

OK. My suggestion would be to call your cable ISP and try to get your call transferred from the first-level customer service to the more advanced technical support team. Then say you have a problem that occurs randomly and several techs have already checked out your home setup during multiple...

Based on your previous posts, I assume these varying results are on a wired connection with your cable provider? Do the speed drops occur at certain times of day (like when the street lights come on)?

My rig is hosted at a colo and speed is never my concern. The more important factor is reliability which I achieve through redundancy. http://www.speedtest.net/result/2007128372.png

Here is a link to some commentary and color on the new weeklies. http://communities.cboe.com/t5/What-s-On-Our-Minds/A-Change-for-Weeklys-by-Mark-Sebastian/ba-p/2821

Can anyone please tell me if you know of a website that provides a free daily chart of the Corporate-Treasury Yield Spread? I would like to save the link in my list of news/charts to review daily. But I've checked all the usual suspect websites and can't find one.

Most of us would be lucky to know as much about options trading on our best day as atticus does on his worst.

Thanks, good stuff!

If you watch Fox you already know Bolling, a former NYMEX energy trader. In his recent program with Gov Palin, he advocates raising the margin requirement on speculators. He also speaks with the CFTC Chairman who talks about placing a cap on speculator trading with a limit of 10% of the...

Mav, do you feel that New Highs provide any better trading opportunity than New Lows? New High's certainly require more "energy" to sustain. I've noticed that you mention New Highs more often, but that may simply be the case since the market has been moving up lately.

Guys, thanks for the testimonials! Congrats on your new routers!

Thanks for presenting this spread scenario. I understand the value of correlation for hedging, but why would you qualify your spread candidates using correlation as a filter? If you are trading the trend of the spread ("spread increases"), and you are looking for relative strength, how would...

Thanks for sharing your experience with the peplink. I was considering it myself until I decided to colo. Have you tested a downtime scenario? For example, just unplugging one of your network services and watching it failover to the other...

If you are manually entering orders a few times a day, I might suggest a different solution than if you are running an automated trading system on higher frequency data. In any case, as you research options you may want to review this thread I started last year on the topic of dual-WAN...

Epson seems to have the best color injet printers for photographs. I still prefer HP for everything else. But you can decide for yourself. Today's modern printers usually have a memory card slot which allows you to print a file by simply inserting the memory card into the printer. Using...

I've compared a few printer brands for office printing and have generally found HP to have the highest print quality. Take a look at the HP LaserJet CM1415fnw color all-in-one printer. Currently on sale at Staples for $375. Here is the link: http://www.staples.com/product_897096 The...

I just ran across this recent interview. If you're reading this forum, you already know who these guys are so they don't need an introduction. Natenberg made interesting comments about correlations of IV and intermarket volatility spreads. Also insights on how much professional trading is...

Good points! What were your decision factors in choosing the OCZ brand? Did you compare against Intel SSD's?
