TLT is awesome for strangles because you don;t have bullshit skew that SPX has.
but at the same time, much less risky than commodity futures or stocks
FB is great for selling puts
lol look at the broker comparisons..TOS/ameritrade is the most expensive..especially the margin loan rates . TOS has very hihg comissions on everything and bad order execution
It seems like people are forced to enter these awful trades due to the margin requirements being too high. Margin requirements are designed to protect the brokers and not the customers. So that means customers have to enter bad trade likes iron condors that generate huge commissions for brokers...
TOS is for ppl who like huge commissions, huge margin fees, huge margin requirements, and bad fills. get a real broker like interactive brokers. even robinhood is much better than TOS. If you use TOS you already lost.
doesn't prove anything. also IBB was falling long before the tweet was made. it's possible someone bought the puts because the trend was already negative
dumb thread. selling puts is the opposite of buying them. buying puts for protection is a bad strategy and you always end up overpaying because puts are too expensive
like an idiot I forgot to close my SPX spread yesterday. I wonder why no one has thought of creating a software program to find the SPX stock that have not traded and then just executing a single share for all of them

Plaintiff Klein alleges that TD Ameritrade's routing of orders to the venues offering the highest order flow payments amounts to a routing strategy that is inimical to best execution. Further, Klein...
exactly. i'm getting better fills, even when I use a market order
The mathematical value is 3.43. Instead of being filled at 3.43, I get filled at 3.5. Maybe MM are tipped off to TOS orders and fill those ones in increments of 5 or 10 cents , giving some of the profits back to TOS and keeping...
I know TOS is not a MM. there is some sort of back deal between TOS and market markers, splitting that 7 cents that should be your pocket. More profits for Ameritrade in the end.
ummm...then why does my entire trade history show multiples of 5 and 10 cents fills? I never got penny increments on my TOS fills unless the option has a penny increment on the control panel. Yeah, swabb fills at 3.43. TOS would fill at $3.5. For big orders, 7 cents makes a big difference
maybe I'll made a live trade YouTube video showing the difference or post screenshots. I just know I'm getting way better fills on Swabb than with TOS and I can sloppily put market orders and still get the best possible fill instead of getting hosed on TOS.
The increments are the big deal. If...
TSLA will probbaly do the same of stuff as always: not enough shipments, blahvb labh blah ..stock jerks liek a bad porno for the next five hours. option buyers get hozed
you should move to THink or Shit. They would have filed you at 40 cents instantly and then resold it at $1 lol . At least they are honest enough to have a price cap
