Take a look at my market-maker series of articles that I wrote for the website www.smartoptionsreport.com I was an option market-maker on the NYMEX for 6 years in the crude oil and nat gas options pit. Enjoy http://www.smartoptionsreport.com/Archives/2005/20050502.html...

Thanks for the help but I don't think that works, unless I'm doing it wrong. I tried to open the outlook express folder in windows explorer (within the programs folder) but it doesn't give access to each individual e-mail message. I'll keep looking for a solution to this....

Are you talking about the "Local Folders" inside Outlook Express itself? If so, I've already created many folders to separate my e-mails into different categories. I want to actually drag each individual e-mail message onto a CD or flash drive but don't know how to do that from within Outlook...

Somewhat of a different subject.... Is there any way to save all your e-mail messages from Outlook Express onto a CD or flash drive or any other removable storage item? I want to start saving my messages outside of my pc. Thanks for any help.

In addition to all the free material that's on the web and the free sites that have already been mentioned, my colleagues & I offer a free options e-letter that may be of interest. There's a few years worth of archives. Take a look. Good luck! http://www.smartoptionsreport.com/ Lee Lowell

One of the chapters in my book discusses selling option credit spreads in great detail. This is a potential way to bring in conservative premium income on a regular basis. Good luck...

Fixed. Just had to re-start esignal. Duh!

Anyone missing lots of yesterday's trading data in esignal charts for various exchanges? Stocks & futures. Trying to figure out how to retrieve it. Tips? Thanks.

What's the consensus on trading gold & silver options thru CBOT or COMEX? Seems like they now trade options open-outcry on both COMEX & CBOT, and electronically on E-CBOT side by side during the day. COMEX doesn't offer electronic options yet. Where's everyone gravitating to? I believe the...

I found the site. Thanks to all who posted other ones as well. http://www.edealinfo.com/dell/

Is there any word out yet when the grain options will be trading electronically during the open-outcry session? They already trade electronically during the night session. How hard can it be to just extend it to the day session? Anyone?

Thanks for those links, but that's not the site I was looking for. The site I'm searching for had Dell coupons as well and it had deals specifically for small business and home use. Of course my present PC had a hard drive failure and I lost my list of "favorites" which included that website...

Long ago someone posted a website that shows weekly specials for deals on Dell computers. Can anyone re-post that site if they know it. Time to look for a newer PC. Thanks.

I think this may have been discussed before, but has IB added the capability to trade the grain options electronically yet? I know you can get the quotes on TWS, but you can't seem to make any trades. Any timeline here that anyone knows of? Thanks much.

I know this isn't really trading related, but are there any suggestions for the best program to use for moving data from an older pc to a new one? Updating all my trading equipment. Laplink? Aloha Bob? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

I believe IB has added floor/pit trading capabilitites recently

Do the pit/floor trades include the other fees such as: clearing fee, floor broker commission fee, NFA fee, TOPS fee, etc?

Thanks MTE. That's how I felt about the numbers all along.

The real reason I want to know is for calculating returns for the trade. If my hypothetical trade expires worthless, and I get to keep the whole $100, would my return be 25% ($100/$400) or would it be 20% ($100/$500)? It all depends on how much the broker asks for margin.

Still don't understand your numbers....but I get the gist. As long as I know that some brokers aren't asking for the whole spread as margin, then I'm good. Thanks.
