    I use TOS and am reasonably happy. I used to usee Lafferty and this is much better. But, I have yet to come in contact with the double secret hidden fees. (Maybe I'm still on double secret probation!) Cody

    $6.00 is probably average. Cody Many times it is within a few dollars, but every now and again it is more than $10.00 difference.

    I don't think it is out yet. Usually takes several hours before the CBOE posts the SET. Here is the link to see when the CBOE updates it. http://www.cboe.com/data/Settlement.aspx

    Hi All, Today will be a good day to look at the SET risk. The futures and the cash were both up strong at the opening. But, remeber that SET is the actual opening price of each component stock. SET could well be above the gap opening prices of the SPX. Cody

    Coach, I have always kept my margin capital invested in t-bills. My last broker (RF Lafferty) allowed me to use 95% of t-bill investment as margin. My new broker (TOS) allows 92% of the t-bill investment as margin. I use t-bills for 2 reasons, higher interest rate than broker normally gives...

    Hi Coach, Can you explain the put side of this transaction. You bought back both put spreads were deep out of the money. You paid 0.25 for one set, and .20 for the other. It appears that both of these sets will (although we never know until expiration) expire worthless. Hence, you would make...

    Coach, I know that you posted that your collateral is now fully deployed; but if you had free collateral would you be a sell er of SPX put spreads with the SPX behaving as it has the last several days. The premiums on spreads deep (depending on your opinion of what deep now is) out of the...

    Hey Coach, Why don't you organize a seminar concerning this type of trading. Although I am about 8 hrs from the DC area (which I am guessing is near where you live) I would certainly attend. I am sure many, many others would. Cody PS I am not looking for a freebie, I am assuming you...
