Hi In my opinion only the new open transactions that remained opened at the end of the day are added to the OI. The volume is different, every transaction is added to the volume. So if someone opens an close in the same day, that's a volume of 2. I don't know the behavior of SPX and Es...

Hi Yesterday the Spy 290 put for the next monthly expiration had a volume of almost 50 k and the Open interest was 13.1 k. Today the Open interest is 13.2 k So the OI only increased by 100 , but there was a high volume. What do you think it was that volume, people buying and selling at the...

Hi Today I did a mistake placing and order. I was selling a box with a strike distance of 6 poits, 109/115. I really don't know what happened but I ended selling that box for 2.90 I realized because the order was filled at the moment. I don't know how that price went to my limit order as I...

Hi I want to clarify something. Yes you can long Spy if it was assigned to you. IB doesn't liquidate if you have the margin to take it. You can't open new positions in Spy. You can't close that Spy with combo orders, the only way is right click on the position and close. I don't know what...

Hi @spindr0 Oh, you don't belive it. I am not going to explain the exact position, it would be very boring. My net liquidation value after the autoliquidation was aprox. 10 % less than 10 minutes before. And that is because of 2 things. 1) the prices they liquidate are not good. And they do it...

Hi @gkishot What happened it was not a pattern day trader issue. It was because of a new regulation for european retail traders. We are not allowed to trade USA ETF. bye bye Spy.

Hi I didn't know that. So if you have a lot of 20 options you are not able to early exercise only 10. I think IB can start autoliquidation 90 minutes before the market close if they think the option will end itm and you don't have buyin power to take delivery. One thing I don't understand...

The autoliquidation could lead to a much more than 10 % lose in one day.I am talking from my experience. It deppends on what are they liquidating. It is not the SPY it is the Spy options that are very dangerous when liquidating , specially if they are itm options. So imagine that scenario. I...

They were not prepared. I called to the trading desk for the first time till I am trading. It was a surreal conversation. My position were autoliquidated while they were trying to understand the issue. I had a long poition in Spy, which was causing a margin call, and the system didn't allow me...

Well I didn't explained my whole position. The liquidation has been on itm options too. I was trying to place a combo trade , selling SPY and selling puts. The system didn't allow it. I don't know why, as what I can see in other post the Spy is available to close position. When the system...

Hi Today I have lost the 10 % of my account. And it has not been my fault. The IB autoliquidating system has done his work. But why my positions were autoliquidated ? That is the interesting question. This product is current unavailable to clients classified as retail clients. And I am...

Oh yes please. If you could do that math it would be very useful, to learn. thank you.

Hi When you say next the earnings are not priced in, what do you mean? Why do you think the calendar went to 2.00 to 2.90 almost 30% in one day, what are the reasons in your opinion? They priced the earnings in one day that weren't priced the day before? thanks

Hi I want to say that the order was a sell order lower than the ask and waited at least 10 minutes to be hit. Let me understand this. If the bid ask is e.g. .10 - .20 and I place a bid to buy at .15, I am adding liquidity. Right ? But if the broker retains that order and only sends to the...

Hi I am trying to pay more attention in the commissions. I have place a trade with Spy options, 5 lots , 4 options each lot, total of 20 options. It was a limit order and smart routing order. It traded in the PSE. Total commission 25.59 The commission from my broker, IB, is 0,70 per otion =...

Hi It is not about being candid, it's about knowing the answer. I can not say where the trading decisions will be taked from. It will depend on where I will be. Sometimes could be from my own adress, others from the company office, and others from another country if I am traveling. What is...

Hi The Broker required a lot of information about the company and about the owners during the application. Of course they have to do that. All those documents were sent and accepted. They have asked several times to confirm the physical address where the daily business operations are taking...

Hi I am in the process of opening a brokers account for a corporation. The company is located in South America, and I live in Europe. I am the administrator of that company and I'm going to be the only officer for that account. The broker is asking insistently the address where the daily...

For ITM calls , what is the correct theoretically intrinsic value ? the difference between the strike and the spot , or maybe that difference multiplied by his delta. e.g. spot = 100 98 call = 2.70 with delta = 0.80 a) Intrinsic value = 2.00 b) Intrinsic value = 2 x 0.80 = 1.60 The...

Hi An itm call will be early exercised the day before ex dividend if the dividend is more than his extrinsic value. And the OP will also have to pay the dividends for the short stock , as he was short the day before ex dividend date. yes, reading carefully @JackRab posts helps to open new...
