No worries, thanks for the update. Delays are part of the game. I think we'll all eagerly will follow the results of your competing efforts. Good luck! Ursa..

This is such a superbly cool understatement :cool: thank you. Great innovation btw, and a good example of out-of-the-box thinking, using your power where it is needed. Great stuff. Ursa..

That's not a phantom trade, that is a delayed execution of a cancelled order. Your own. See the other thread about that http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=79397 A phantom trade is when you suddenly are short AAPL when you never traded that before. The OP also isn't clear...

I hope you USers will be able to keep them from rigging the elections. Stay alert, it took the nazi's only 3 years to get from the non-habeus corpus clause to total control. Once that door is closed there is NO WAY to get the reign back. Ever. Stay alert, stay alert, it is not too late yet...

Exactly :-). Besides, why doesn't he just setup a stoploss-sell order or a limit-sell on the calls, for the time he's out. He can cancel them when he comes back from the hospital.

1. Even under normal, civilian circumstances, many arrests have to be released later on. Some of them only after having been trialed and found unguilty, some even after they were in prison for some time. What makes you think that this type of statistical errors do not happen with 'terrorists'? I...

Yes, you're right and it was an outrage what happened there. Compliments for your research btw. Still, I think this is of very different proportions than the latest ruling by Mr. Bush. In the Dutch case it concerned a civil procedure by the neighbors that was acknowledged for some strange...

They don't need to have the same rights in all levels, but this is about basic human rights. Those rights determine the difference between a civilized, enlightened nation, and one that gives judicial power to the powers that be. A barbaric one. The question is: who determines if someone is an...

Yes, I agree. I think the event will in hindsight be as historical as the equivalent one when the nazi's got it through at the time. This week the US joined the other side. So, what's there to defend? Get out while you can, Ursa.. PS. First time I'm glad you citizens are still allowed...

O, but I do, and I don't mind being roughed up when I'm wrong. But it's all about respect. Someone having only 10 posts is not welcome when he starts out with insulting people. Insulting can be done anywhere, this place is at it's best when the right mix is reached. Ursa..

Yes. I agree. At this moment Tower has only 10 posts, and used them all to re-awake old thread by adding (partly) incorrect posts. And now he's even already starting to insult ppl. Imagine, 10 posts only and already close to my ignore list. Ursa..

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aNT4DYcnoja8&refer=home Maybe I missed it but there seems to be no one talking about this issue here. I'm not from the US but it seems to me that by giving your president these rights you have opened the door to a totalitarian government...

It's like this: when IV goes up it is as if the option suddenly has more days to run. When IV goes down, everything behaves as if there suddenly less days to expiration. All curves are round and slow when expiry is still far away. They are sharp and pronounced when expiry is getting close...

Wrong. A delta of 1 (or 0.01 as most would say) means that the option premium will change with 1/100th of the amount the underlyer changes. Nothing more, nothing less. The probability of it exping ITM is a different function and only approximates the delta value. For the type of statement u r...

Was there a special reason to choose 10%? It is always best to choose the stop-level non-abitrarily, so choose a logical point, eg. past a recent major resistance level. But, be careful with that too, because often the market tests these levels rather wildly, sometimes pushing through the level...

Thank you. my thought exactly, Ursa..

I know that ordertype but I've never seen them called 'hidden'. (Are they really called that on Eturd?.) On IB it's transparent; if a certain ordertype is not natively supported by the exchange than IB will emulate it on their server. No need to call them hidden, we're not hiding. There are...

Nevere heard of that. How? Which broker? If a stop can be 'hidden' that would almost prove there are unhidden ones too. Ursa..

Well, that's the whole point. You'd rather believe that something is going on that is technically (almost) impossible than face the truth. The truth is that you stops will get hit; that's what they're for. Maybe you're trading a thin stock on some exotic exchange, but on the larger ones, like...

Totally unverifiable and tells me nothing at all. There might be a significantly correlated reason why you used mental stops in those cases that weren't hit, eg. because the market was wild or very quite. Just don't know. Maybe shorts and longs. Anyway, what is a coincidence to me is that you...
