nugya, The webpage was reproduced as is with no modifications. The author didnt include the overall results for that particular trade. I think the purpose of the page was just to demo how delta-neutral trading is done. pretzel

I was asked by one of my brokers to provide a photo ID, citing the "Patriotic Homeland Security Act". Anybody have a similar experience? pretzel

I'm using both a gateway and a software firewall. Since I installed the gateway, there were no outside "attacks" detected by the software firewall. However, I think the software firewall is still needed to prevent unauthorized sending out of information by trojans - whenever an unknown...

Thanks syd697 and cdntrader for the info. The standalone trading platform is JTrader, the same as Elocal's. The web platform seems easier to use. I really like their click on application (just like IB). With Elocal, you have to print out the forms (lots of them) and fax them back. I...

Kymar, Any outages today? IB keeps getting disconnected today. I'm seriously considering Tradestation. Thnx, pretzel

They have 3 packages. I only have the plain vanilla option spread analyzer. They have a package called spread scanner, which will automatically look for the spreads or combinations with the best profit to risk ratio from a specified universe of stocks . I think you can calculate everything...

The MACD is just a duplication of the 3 EMA cross-over since the parameters are the same (4/18). Entry signal is just a simple crossover (bowtie pattern). Exit signal is not clearcut - based on parabolic SAR or something else? jeanmichel, can you be more specific on the exit pts? pretzel
