1) I assume it does because if all goes well, you seemlessly transition to a Hedge Fund domiciled in that state. Correct? 2) If the state matters, Delaware is the place to register it, right? Even though I hear good things about Nevada and Wyoming? Any reason why I should consider those to...

I thought these babies would be gone from my screen at 5 PM ET or 6PM ET, I forget which. But they are still there (on IB). When do they settle?

It's on Globex, I know, and I use IB, but why if I place a stop loss on, say, a short put to be bought back at a higher price, does it tell me that it won't be placed until 8:30 AM. Is this a Globex or an IB thing? And how do you hedge overnight risk on ES options if you can't use stops until...

Ok, contango going on, short time to expiration. Do I short M1 and long M2 or vice versa? Didnt want to bother and embarass myself by tweeting Vance.

They are doing like 10,300 and triple that for overnight. Who does better with an IRA and rock bottom low commissions and futures margin?

Thanks Tom, but I'm looking for something that does this automatically. Playing around after every trade with a Quote Monitor page is the sort of thing I'd like to avoid. I'd just like to open a portfolio page and see all my options trades listed by strategy, P/L, etc.

Will give it a shot. Tks.

Hey, we all know IB is great because it is cheap and has an array of products. But pretty it is not. Is there any add-on or cheap third-party software that accepts its various downloads and organizations ongoing option trades and data, like iron condors, calendars, butterflies? I'm getting tired...

What about the path dependency on the long. Over time, considering the long-term record, that would cost more than options, I suspect.

Just a partial hedge; not a perfect one, although an ATM call might give me something cloase, although the cost would be prohibitive.

I suspect a straight up UVXY call per 100 shares short way out of the money is a smoother way of doing it than getting fancy and estimated VIX options needed. Might try a mix of both,

Ok, I'm short UVXY and I want to hedge against a black swan. Do I buy OTM calls on UVXY or on the VIX?

Gotcha.

Does anyone know how to implement this in IB? Say, I am short an OTM call with a delta of -.10 and I want to buy it back if the delta hits -0.50.

Yes, I had the same question. Btw, I asked IB on its support system a couple of days ago and haven't heard anything from them.

Or maybe do it using OTO orders?

I thought I could just set a timer for 9:30 and 4:00, or a little after and a little before, and do a MOC and MOO order, for, say, 100 SPY, and somewhere hit repeat each trading day (sort of like a recurring event in a calendar). But I just don't see this in IB. Am I missing something?

Even with a trade that simple? Wow. There is a business for someone out there.

Just wondering here. Is it that hard to hire a PI firm whose sole function is to track Buffett or some other activist/takeover artist?

I use IB and on a Mac, no less (although I could use Windows), and I wanted to automate a very simple trade just to start, something like Buy SPY MOC Sell SPY MOO (Repeat). Now is there a way to do this without doing IB's DDE API on a Windows machine or learning Java or some other language? What...
