Here is yet another thread that the OP started on how to trade from work. In that thread he claims he's a financial analyst. His stories are getting old and tiresome. If he was a financial analyst he'd know most of this stuff already. The regulatory issues alone for him to trade at work...

You can trade thousands of cars in the QQQQ options with no issue at all. for example, looking at my system live I can see close to 8,000 contracts up with about a 2 or 3 cent wide market front month 53 line. Generally when when big firms trade this stuff, not from the market making side or...

Sorry Looking back at my answer from last night I got off the topic of the actual question. IMO If you're not going to actively trade and manage the variables on a position it may be nice to know them but they're not going to do much for you. They all decay in some manner or another so...

Crgarcia: “Sometimes I take a look at theoretical price (I don't mind paying up to 5 cents above theoretical, I'm not that picky since I always do directional trades).” What makes you think your theoretical prices are absolute value? Simply adjust one or more of the variables and you...

Thank you for correcting me. THe level II introduced to the retail people is not and never was meant to be the entire universe of prices. Sorry for the incomplete info.

giving 15k does not go to far and surely does not perpetuate a scholarship. Next time make up a bigger number it will sound a lot more impressive. Heck its the internet go4it!

If you're a financial analyst the regulatory issues alone for you to trade are a nightmare. The compliance people at your firm would be all over you. You are required by law to forward them statements from all your personal accounts each and every month and they can do a search and find if you...

He's in the business of selling add time on his TV show. Just so happens his business background is in the market, so thats what his show is about. Some people like it others dont. He's not in the business of losing money or pissing viewers off by losing money, simply because that would hurt his...

If it makes you feel better post all the unsubstantiated claims you like anonymously from behind your computer LOL

Do you know how to do a dividend capture play in options? In this day and age they dont work very well. Used to be a day when market makers did it all the time but its just not out there anymore

Obviously people think you dont have a solid plan and you're too concerned about pennies and commisions or being ripped off then having a proper trading plan. Trying to hide a 20k lot in 200 lots is not a plan

I dont see any strategy that you're using in the over all process of trading. You appear to be hung up so much on the executions but have no real viable plan in the market. If you try and show bids for 200 shares a pop when you're looking to accumulate 20k shares of a stock that only trades...

Who said anyone lies here? or lied in this thread? easy there fella, I apologized for the incorrect assumption. I am sure all people make a fortune, I just dont ever see the point in posting it since no ones opening up anyone elses books, thats all.

Don I would say there are more then a "few" good ones and the ultra large hedge funds got that way because they beat the average returns of the market. The mutual funds serve a purpose in the market too. I would say that the majority of people in the US use mutual funds because they dont...

Ohh you got me, sorry I wont assume anything about you anymore.. I am sure he makes a fortune

Thats the best post on this topic I have seen here, and this topic gets beaten to death. The people here who think you just plunk money down and play in a big arena or trade as a pro and its the same as trading a retail account are sadly mistaken. Go ahead and see whats involved with buying...

Options market makers dont take much of a directional play and they dont roam from pit to pit taking shots on direction. Keep it real please

They're not going to take the other side of your trade. They CANT fill your order at one price and tell you a different one, thats ridiculous. ALL ORDER FLOW is sold, every last share of it, thats how come they can slash commisions. Its sold for fractions of a penny per share so they're not...

Agreed .. Might as well say you made 10 million since you cant prove it who cares? Silly me I thought this shit mostly went on only over on yahoo

okay they tell you straight up you only get 10 free trades a month and you have to keep a cash balance. Sounds like they know the price point and the number of trades point for most of their type clients and the interest they make on your balance and the payment they get in return for you order...
