    Ah, in that case advance the date above the wrench to the desired date. PS. TOS chat help is very good at these kinds of questions. EDIT: I think you need to unlock your price, I'm showing a 4.30 Credit for that, not a 7.xx debit and it's probably part of your problem.

    IB commissions for low priced stocks

    Right, I'm reading "lot" and typing "lot" but thinking share. Ugh me. I've seen a few that are better and don't have share limits on their "flat rate", but they're usually much much worse for options or other types of trades. But if you find better than that for the retail customer, please...

    IB commissions for low priced stocks

    One lot of what? If you buying 1 share of a $3 stock and you can't stick the $1 commish, then maybe you'd be better off buying a latte. <just poking fun> ;) Maybe I'm not getting the question because the being down $100 part is not making sense to me. If you're talking a one lot of an...

    IB commissions for low priced stocks

    You've got a decimal place problem, it's $0.005 a share, that would be $.50 (rounded up to the $1 minimum) per 100 share. http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/accounts/fees/commission.php?ib_entity=llc

    I would contact your broker to find out. But most I know will not do this due to the differing expirations.

    They are related in exactly that way. You're probably forgetting that one side has slightly different IV due to the cost of carry involved in performing the conversion. McMillan has detailed information on this.

    Being Assigned after expiration...HELP!

    I do believe you're ultimately responsible for knowing the product you're trading, so you may be out of luck. Yes the weeklies are just like the regulars. Final trading is thursday, but there is a Friday morning set to worry about.

    It is IMPOSSIBLE to make money in the markets

    Profitability is just a matter of getting the right combinations together. After you know how to use all the tools you won't be profitable. But you probably won't be profitable without the tools either. After the education to know what you're doing... I believe the key is to find the...

    1:2 ratio--short stock:long calls?

    Short 100 shares of stock + buy 1 long call = buy 1 long put through the synthetic relationship Therefor through substitution you are synthetically the same as the long straddle. Your math is wrong where you are using the .5 delta of the calls. It is .5 but you have two of them so when you...
