    Nice, apex! Help me out here. I know little about options, less about spreads. Was the $33.5K for one spread play? What was the cash or margin requirement for that?

    "Wan't the point - as I still use IB's paper trading system. But if not treated as real trading it is worthless, was my point; and when you tade 30 contracts that you would not really trade..... Chris" I understand your point, I just disagree with it. I don't find it worthless at all. It...

    -737.50 for me, +com. Apparently some of you are quite capable of spotting a trend day. I fought it all the way to the bottom.

    Falling asleep without a stop is nothing compared to losing feed without a stop. It's like a nightmare you can't wake up from. There goes my account.....
