hey id like to get into contact with you, is there any way to contact you off ET? it wont let me send you any messages, thanks.

lolin over here. Down 8% on the first day. The only money this guy makes is selling subscrips to his site. Why do all these people try to act like "gurus"? Im just sad i missed the first couple of pages that were deletd where atticus outed the guy. The next tim sykes? p.s. atticus if you...

No I understand atticus, but he's talking about things he thinks just anyone would understand when its above most peoples heads. Im gonna let expire next time because call condors have been working for me lately. I was able to sell out of a SPY posistion for just .1 less than it was worth and...

I understand that. I didnt expect to sell it for the full 5.00 but man that was a wide spread. That really was free money to the MM. I guess i need to get into market making. And thanks for the inputs atticus. Although sometimes you are hard to understand ive learned alot trying to decipher...

no atticus mentioned the put because if i had an iron condor instead of a call condor it would be 440/445 put. You are confused.

I do not think it was worth the expense, as that is gonna add up over the year to a lot. If I had 10 call condors posistion that would be 450$ taken away that should be mine. I guess ill be going back to Iron's for those situations. Atleast I can get full profit from those.

So atticus/drownpruf, could I have let it expire and realized full profit and been ok without a margin call? due to the offsetting posistions? im sure you have experience with ib letting bull call expire. and if not, i guess i need to re-examine using call condors. because if full profit...

12pm-3.30 pm i had been trying to work the order all after noon. bid never went over 4.40... i couldnt get a good mid at all after sitting on it for hours, ended up getting out at 4.55.

Atticus, can you tell me if i would have been alright if i had let the bull call expire? or would I have been margined? No i dont have the 44.500 to buy the stock. and FX i sold the 445 for 9.64 on wed.

oh wow I didnt see that typo, it was the 440/445 bull call spread. nflx closed at 448, and was over 449 at the time i was trying to get out of the spread.

Still no real answer here. Does anyone here let their bull call spreads expire without the margin to cover the stock purchase at IB and end up ok?

but do you have to have the margin to buy the shares? what would happen if I had let expire here at IB ? even the rep could not clearly explain. first he said id be margin called, then that they offset each other, but dropped that line that IB could also refuse my exercise making the profit...

and then threads like this one make me cautious to let them handle the exercise.. a 800 dollar IRA cash account getting 9200 in margin call. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?t=51251

Hi, can anyone please advise on a situation that happened today? I had a call condor on nflx. 440/445 465/470 at the open NFLX was around 449. I couldnt sell the whole condor for a reasonable price, as the bid ask spread was 1.00. So i tried to sell the 440/455 bull call spread...

any changes on how this is handled? what is the settlement price on fri for an option, close or 15 minutes after?

Where can I find a list of the most active equity (and index) options? Not specific strikes but total volume across the symbol. Id like a list that lists them in order. Im looking for heavily liquid options with small spreads. cboe site only lists certain strike volume. And I dont feel like...

past two weeks performance.

You're a troll so im not even gonna bother with you. Others have said they didn't need to send documents like this to IB so I was curious as to why I had to. If anyone is curious, I talked to tech support and I guess my address on one form was listed as W and on the other West so it made...

Can i PM you?

No. I am a US citizen, 24 years old. Just opening a standard individual margin account.
