If you are trading stocks that are down 30-40% in a day they must be pretty cheap stocks. IF that's the case, I wouldn't even consider the options if indeed there are any. If so, tread very carefully. Just my opinion

Bone et al : on a related issue let me ask this question. I am currently running NT4 SP6. Considering either UPGRADE to 2KPro or clean install of same. Any suggestions on either?

Well actually it was a surprising circumstance. All of a sudden a bid was posted @ 12.30 while the market had been 12.00x12.40 for quite a while and the underlying was falling. So, I hit it and figured, after the time elapse, that it wasn't going to fill. It did and the new bid dropped to...

Thanks. This was an option trade and the first I'd ever seen route there.

I seem to recall a discussion a few days back where someone said that "smart" didn't route to the AMEX. I had it happen today. The execution took about 15 seconds and I thought it wasn't going to happen at all. Surprised to see the order go to AMEX.

Aphie: we may indeed see a slight move upward but ask yourself this question. Considering that its Friday and triple witch, and earnings are dirt, and throw Iraq into the equation, would you be inclined to leave money on the table over the week end ? Me either. I believe we will end...

I've noticed that the bid on QQQ options and MSFT options has been dropping prior to the same move in the underlying. This is nothing new but seems to be happening more frequently. Funny how the ask side doesn't do the same. I suspect these things are all related. Not saying there is...

thank you

Can someone suggest a resource for current month vols on underlyings. Thanks

Maybe I missed it, but I'd still like to know how you are determining your exit of each trade. Is it mechanical or intuitive or voodoo ?

Metooxx: thanks for the heads up on the cancel as order goes live at PHLX; works well.

I suspect you're correct about a pullback tomorrow.........its Friday and that's why. IMHO maybe not though :-))

Thanks Def, I'll check it out.

I'm sure this has been covered but I need suggestions on downloading and storing IB daily account statements. Thanks

What difference does it make ?

That's gotta be it !

being new to IB I was questioning what else might be bad on the data.

Today I noticed that every option symbol on my page that is trading over three dollars shows a change in nickles but none in dimes. How is that possible ? Is this common with IB ? I have checked the bid/ask against 2nd data feed and they agree. It's just the change column that's haywire.
