But does ET really need two threads that are nothing but wild conjecture?

First off Dan glances over a lot of small points in those presentations (probably due to time). Another example is the "Mickey Mouse" version of the condor he talks about that is more margin intensive than a regular condor. But that aside I don't see how you "loose" margin. If you closed...

^ Max risk = 45-price paid on the downside and infinite-price paid on the upside ^ max risk = Price paid ThinkOrSwim will do all this, but you have to supply the theoretical "after" IV's Damon

Just signed up for the September one as the Jun is already filled.

http://Finance.Google.com Main page is a little boring, so try this link also http://finance.google.com/finance?cid=694653 Haven't seen a post on here yet. It has some interesting informational displays including news stories plotted on the price graph at the time they were reported, along...

So several equities I've been trading options on had interesting pin situations happen yesterday and I was wondering how this works and was curious if there is possible room for manipulation? First, I closed out all my open contracts for .05-.10 before close so I have nothing riding on this...

That is correct, I just noticed that I only get one reply per visit to the site even if there were 5 updates to the same thread. I'm trying to find a solution to the problem where I visit the site after a notification to find that the post is fluff over and over before a good post is put up. I...

It would be great if the subscribed thread email had a few lines of the latest post embeded in it. Right now it has the thread name, poster, and link, but often there is a lot of fluff in a thread and this would allow me to scan for updated threads quicker. It's more of an issue with the more...
