    NLY vs. AGNC

    For you folks that follow these two stocks, which do you prefer and why? Yes, I know, both are volatile, tied to the housing market and subject to yield chasing = they are quite risky. However, if you are willing to accept a good deal of risk, which do you like? I lean towards NLY over the...

    Free Screens for Price Range

    Try Stockfetcher. It's free if you can handle things delayed by a week. Otherwise it's like $8.95/month or something like that. It's pretty powerful.

    Enhanced premium strategy

    Is it cost effective from a commission standpoint? Can't see how many legs/contracts are needed to get the profile, but it looks fairly complicated. Also, I don't really see the point of the right portion of the graph. If you get a 10% move, you start to lose. If you get a nice big move, you...

    Is it Wise For a Trader to Move to Los Angeles for a Girl?

    By "met", do you mean you met her on the Internet (dating site, Craigslist, etc) or met at some event, etc and have physically interacted?

    IB Java API is much better than Activex API with C#?

    Unstable means exactly...what? Slow? Crashing your machine? I guess if you always update to the most recent rev immediately that could happen. I'd recommend getting a stable version of both TWS (or the gateway) and the API and then sticking with them until forced to update. If you're looking...

    You don't pay dividends if you are short options. Dividends are only paid if you are short the actual shares.

    Best Place to Place Option Trades?

    Some comparisons between TOS and IB: Fees: ------- IB - Min monthly commissions/data fee (low, but still a cost). Quarterly IRA fee. Order modification fee, which varies depending on what exchange you use. Per contract commission is less. TOS - $15 per strike exercise fee. Data and order...

    Nice little program comes to an end...

    I really liked the commission free ETF setup at Fidelity because they offered two of the really liquid ones (IWM and EEM) with great option depth. Unfortunately, they partnered up with Blackrock and swapped 10 ETF, thereby dropping IWM and EEM. The replacements are IJR and IEMG (dropping volumes...

    Unsupported Ninjatrader Programming

    Would the Windows Communication Foundation be a possible solution? I had this very same problem over a year ago and a first thought was to do something with WCF rather than the parsed text file approach. I haven't worked on the project in over a year due to time constraints, but I did get to...

    best option strategy for my quant stock trading system?

    Wouldn't that get you split down the middle by an Enron/Lehman, etc? I would think you'd want buy 2, sell one ratio backspread: 1) Can use ATM/OTM so you get better spreads. 2) You don't eliminate volatility/theta exposure, but you might be able to reduce your risk as opposed to outright...

    Does TOS lose your studies?

    I've noticed custom studies disappearing occasionally, but after the most recent update yesterday, every custom study was gone. I reverted to the previous build and they are back, so I'm just wondering if anybody else has seen this before.

    Real-time point and figure charting - low cost

    You might want to check Ninjatrader as I know they offer PnF charts. I can't recall if they require tick data to create them, though. Price is right to take a look (free).
