Yeah, I knew you would say that. But who cares: if the premiium is as outreageous as you think, than a .10 profit is sure to be made. You'r right that I never traded SPX, but many other options I did trade. Always as part of a spread; I use IB's spreadtrader and bid/ask the middle of the...

If you think the price is that ridiculous why doný you sell a few 100 of those at 0.15? That would pull someone's rug, wouldn't it? NOT! Ursa..

Hello all, it seems to me that the amount of rubbish written on the board is getting out of control. For some reason it seems impossible for the publisher to control the number of IP's per handle so we are confronted with the same idiots time and again. Also, there is apparently no rule...

A call that is OTM at exp has worth zero (0). And yes, you can keep all of the premium recieved.

Not at all. It has been shown that if you install eg. a year-old version of XP and you connect it to the net with open ports, so no firewall, it will be infected before you can even download all patches and upgrades to prevent the infection in the first place. It's not a 'someone' doing tghis...

Did you use TWS? You are aware of the problem that the selected ordertypes will not 'stick' sometimes due to some select-list bug on earlier versions. Happened to me sometimes. Does the audit say 'limit'? Ursa..

I would think all sectors where takeover bids/rumours and consolidation are determining the stockprices. Many of these activities were financed for significant part with loaned assets. These will be halted now. Ursa..

You mean you went mountaineering without a map/compass? Why? That kind of risktaking doen't sound like a good prerequiste for a trader. :D Anyways, good luck with the ATS, very kind of you to share here, thanks, Ursa..

Nice writing. No way out, I guess? Ursa..

How can it be true, or not true. There is no statement made here, only revery. If anything, it is a lie, since Hitler knowingly led his people to the ultimate destruction. He was a bad leader. Ursa..

No. I'm not saying you can; just asking a question. What's an AT strategy? Ursa..

Giles, just out of curiosity, what do you mean by "If I didnt need signals"? Anything special? QT can do some excellent signalling as well. Ursa..

IB offers basic charting to attract n00bs like you. Why any serious trader would even consider using IB's charting is beyond me. Just start doing some research and some auto-thinking. Also, if you say QT is free and 'you get what you pay for' themn again, why are u even considering IB, which...

Uhm I see, so that is your edge? Since we aren't up the average 7% we still have room to go? Come on, nobody is that dense. Ursa..

Apart from the numbers, which I thing are not solid, what you did was wait an entire month for the (gut) strangle to increase from 12.65 to 13.50, a staggering 0.85 profit. Instead of cashing it, you decide sell a 45 straddle on top of it. You should ask yourself, why the strangle, why wait...

Oh yes, I agree with that, would not change it for something else. Just gave an answer to the question. The reason I mentioned the pairs was that the one and only time I wanted to have 2 graphs on the same chart was when I tried some pairs-trading in Eminis. I found out than rather than view...

Nope, and that is a pity. It can however chart a portfolio, so eg. you can build a pair of futures and show the differential value on a chart. Ursa..

If you trade on that exchange than you listen to that radio. Djeez, why would IB be responsible??? Ursa..

Yes, good point, they do seem to have a problem with all types of addictions, but I don't see much difference with the US population in that respect. US has an entire state devoted to gambling, alcohol was recently an important enough problem to have it totally banned, thus allowing the mafia to...
