Last I heard, they were standing pat---at least for the time being. They said they may cut production in the future. However, many members ignore production quotas and pump as much as they can.

Ahhh, ToS, like OX and many others, use Prophet.net for interactive charts. Choose TOS Charts. Works for me.

On the left of the ToS screen (client version) under Market View, Right-Click the column header and select "Futures" from the popup list. Right- click on your choice and select Charts.

InvesTools starts with stocks, teaching fundamentals and chart trends. The more advanced classes are aimed at options and some include mentoring sessions. You're right in one aspect, IT does seem to favor stocks over indexes by a large factor. Cru

Murry, SPX is at 1327 and vega is at ~-67. I'm just learning about vega. I would assume that would be high?

Since late August ITools has started two types of free webinars. There is a new discount schedule out for ITools subscribers and ToS clients $1.50 contract and $7.95 per stock trade (up to 5000 shares).

SPX just hit a day low of 1315.45. 1/2 hour to go.

I went back to the OX message board to look at the last entry. The board moderator said they were working on the double diagonal margin issue. Could be something is coming down the pike. Cru

The reason for that answer was that it was the "new" requirement from GS, the OX closing agent at that time. Since then, OX has dropped GS and is now their own closing agent. Margin rules have now changed. They only charge for one side for an IC and similar trades. Check their website. The...

Well, I got nervous and rolled my Oct06 SPY 133/136C up to Oct06 134/138C to give me some cushion---just in case. Reduced the overall credit from $1.07 to $0.60. Better some credit than no credit. Cru

Well, I got started with InvesTools in May 2005. I went to one of the 1-day 5-step classes for equities. I knew zip. I'm an engineer, not a finance wizard. But, I also deal/manage multi-Million$ projects, do cost analysis, vendor negotiation & management, plus some evaluation of roic, EVA...

InvesTools has had a long time relationship with OptionsXpress. THey also used the OX Virtual Trading system as well. I'd heard that InvesTools were trying for a better business agreement with OX. I guess that's now dead. You could prep a trade in InvesTools and pass it to OX. I saw today...

InvesTools has a Currency Trading section. I'm not sure about Futures.

You see the announcement about the ToS merger? ToS is merging with InvesTools. I'd retained my InvesTools account simply because it has the best research tools that I've found. They've a new spread scanner that is better than the ToS version, IMO. Course, I'm still new to ToS. :D

I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that. I feel for ya. Been there, done that, did not get the t-shirt! :D Cru

I did a couple of times last Spring and was successful. The stress level, however, can be extremely high. If you can predict the trend, you can make money. Making the correct prediction, however, isn't easy. Some cases, you'd be better off flipping a coin. :(

Everything I've read agrees with that. All-in-all, I don't mind a Bear turn. I do better in a bear market than in a Bull market.

SPY was pretty good yesterday, picked up a Oct06 133/136C for $1.07. 134/136 was available for $.80 for awhile. Haven't done too much with SPY but this seems reasonably good for Oct. I expect S&P to be heading down at any time to somewhere around 1290. If the FOMC makes a hike, perhaps even...

I've an day order in for 1370/1375C @ $0.55. No fill yet either. :mad:

Is the CBOE the only place where I can find what the SET is tomorrow? Is there another site?
