Good post jb. Just another example of black swan events. Who would have thought a perfect storm would be brewing for the OJ shorts3 months ago ! Historical low options volatility, hist low OJ prices, low carb craze waning, 2 Cat 4-cat 5 hurricanes hitting FL in 2.5 weeks apart!

If OJ capitulates the 1st day after a Cat 5 hurricane decimating the groves, this would be a classic example of good news /bad action. I would NEVER go long OJ again!Sorta like when Iraq invaded Kuwait, the fields are buring and gold only up a couple of $.

Who is going to sell? Limit up for days! Watch vol explode!!

If Oj does not go limmit up for days with this catastrophe, nothing will make oj go up.FL and Brazil comprise about 80% of suppply.

All these criticisms from me about using the seminar approach vs. self-study is all moot if the person intructing will show a brokerage statement for at least 1 year 2003-2004 which shows their option trading pnl. Nuff said..

A better ? would be to ask that lady if she can provide you with 3 people who have taken the course and got their $ back. As a business, I'd be proud to provide that since it shows that they are true to their word.

Here is a cheaper probably as effective path than dropping k's in useless seminars. 1. Read the basic option books by Natenburg, Mcmillan WHILE charting what they teach in the books in a software package. Nothing beats hands on whle learning the theoreticals. For packages try optionstar...

s-t-a-y- a-w-a-y Learn from books, trade 1 lots, take journals of the conditions (iv,hv,ggreeks) during trade open and do same for trad out. Learn from them. Go to trader book sites and sear ch for books by Mcmillan, Cottle, Natenburg. Keep your $.

I think Rogers looks at the pricing of commodities from a holistic approach which takes into consideration supply/demand, the currency exchange, the economy of the diff countries. The problem is he is perenially bullish/ bearish for years which really doesnt do me any good. Sorta like Precther...

Bro59 try this. watch the skew of oj calls when they flatten and when iv is reasonably low, buy call backspreads. OJ notoriety is its huge moves both up /down. It rarely "stair steps" 3 steps up/2 down-more like 8 up/1 down or vice versa. Watch technical ppoints and put your backspread there...

I would'nt sell oj puts unless Iv are terribly high. There are 3 locals in that pit offeason and maybe 10 during winter season. They are going to rake you over the coals coming and going due to illiquidty. Best to put on limited risk spreads as a package so spreads won't be too bg. Good...

Where are they based Wis or NJ

All I am saying is that there are better deals out there. However, much like anything else in business it is the package that counts. Training, software, reliability, fnancial viability all should factor in your decision. Search under pro firms , take notes, formulate your A-list then get out of...

That kinda deal reminds me of ETG deals way way way before Brights, Echo, Assent, Domestic, Hold, etc came into the picture.

IB should not be affected in any way at all. They are a retail firm and as far the the prop side I don't think they take trader's deposit so there would be no $ to be reclassified from capital to liability..right?

why are u aksing about hb?

Let me get this straight, open a TS account which is not meant for trading in order to get TS for $99, use Tradebolt to port TS signals onto a cheaper broker such as IB? hmmm.... very interesting. Thanks again.

Hi all. I currently have a charting package , an execution platform, and would like to get a backtesting software and write an automated system. Been looking at tradebolt, strategy runner, and other add-on to IB's TWS. Would'nt Tradestation encapsulate all the above in a nice...

If I use Strategy runner, learn c++ to program my strategies to automate my futures, how much does it cost. Their charge is not detailed in their site. Thanks

I kinda felt like dead man walking when I saw that the test date was in 2000 Thanks again,
