    What Happened With NGLS?

    I bought the Sep $70 Calls and went to the bathroom and now the stock is at $83 from $69 where I was chipping away at Calls all morning. I posted on Yahoo Finance to see if anyone has any idea? http://finance.yahoo.com/mb/NGLS/

    Does a Position Reversal Count as a Day Trade to The SEC?

    Hi, I had a Clearing House break a trade to prevent one of my accounts from hitting the PDT rule. It should work, I was lucky my Clearing House was willing to do this, don't expect a Hail Mary like I got. The trade was only a $3.00 gain total, it was their system's fault because I was...

    New Option Trading Books You Recommend?

    Thank's for the ideas, Looking at Amazon.com for your ideas, my books are really old, one speaks about being a "Egg Trader", and Cotton, in Fractions and don't mention our HFTS and other Trading Friends. Most won't mention the HFTS because I don't think they really are screwing with guys...

    AAPL raped by hft market makers today thwarting option holders

    Are there more Retail or Paper participants playing Apple now that it's down to $92.00 a share? Apple was easier to read when we had a smaller float, now it's crazy town until I learn how her ebb and flow moves. If we are confused by the action, imagine all the new day traders and...

    High Frequency Trading Hearings "Market Watch Blog"

    I figured the pull back in Ameritrade, Etrade and Schwab was only a temp thing. I think we all can make some cash on the long-dated Calls Oct $19 or Jan $20 2015 or 2016 because we all know nothing changes in the Industry. We need a little pullback, each time Etrade pulls back below $20 we...

    When People Ask "What do you do for a living" What say you?

    I tried various tactics since this thread was started and they don't give up. One night when I was full of liquid courage I said "I produce mid-grade porn for a living". Now a few of the ladies at this party have harassed me to include them and want to know what is needed to "try out" as one...

    OPtionshouse closed my expiring position without my consent

    Hello fellow Trader, I had them try to exercise my AMD $4 Calls (Stock closed at $4.01) a while back with another Brokerage. It's the new sneaky way to pilfer profits off us! Their idea is we are too stupid to call in and say "No, we don't desire to exercise our stock .01 in the...

    AAPL - Can't see the logic

    Thank's Margin Max and Visaria, I needed a kick in the pants, are there any Analysts you think are worth listening to? The best information so far has been from members on Elite Trader, all else is noise! Thank you and hope you all have a great Weekend! Peace be with you!

    AAPL - Can't see the logic

    Do you ever think there is collusion driving Apple's price up? Not complaining here, I made some nice coin with the Weekly Apple Calls. The price action seem's strange now that we have did our 7 for 1 Spit. I think a lot of Shorts plus Retailers and their massive Buy Back has...

    OptionsHouse and tradeMonster merge

    Brighton, I tried hard to negotiate a better rate, you would be disgusted with their offers. Their best price was higher than what I pay with my full service Brokerage Etrade. Fidelity charges me $.50 a contract plus $6 min ticket. I am waiting to test out Tradier, currently I am...

    OptionsHouse and tradeMonster merge

    Let me show you how much money I saved using my low cost brokers. This has been one of the heaviest Option Trading weeks all year. I know for the big boys it's not much, I day traded, held overnight and bought some longer term positions. Thursday I bought and and sold, a...

    E*Trade Pro

    Your platform has nothing to do with trading Pink Sheets or Penny Stocks once they start to move. You must sit back and wait for the crash, wait and buy on the collapse (if this is the first or second leg up), you know what I mean. It's funny watching them try to buy a fast moving penny stock...

    Pink Sheets Broker or Trading

    C-Cor, Apex, FMR and Etrade's Clearing House has plenty of fun stories of people buying Non-DTC Eligible stocks and paying $180 to $600 commission. I remember when some of the Marijuana stocks were pounding the Pink Sheet gang when our DTC friends disqualified them, so watch out! I...

    OptionsHouse and tradeMonster merge

    I talked with Options House on Friday, those of us who funded accounts prior to the Merger will not have our commissions altered. I would be willing to venture if you were to deposit $30,000 or, let's say $10,000, they will allow you to be grandfathered in to their previous commission...

    FFIV, next leg to $125?

    Even with Today's pressure we are holding out decently at $107.00, FFIV is a strange stock and moves to it's own drum. Is this Weekly Option Guys trying to pin the stock below $107?

    What happens if broker does not execute margin call and i lost everything

    Brokers have tried to touch accounts belonging to the Trader's wife, if you have all your accounts linked up and they will get creative depending on how Boiler Room your Brokerage is. That's why Brokers will make you wait 3 days with ACHs, I talked with different Brokerages who gave credit to...

    CBOE is clueless

    Which Brokers are charging fees to cancel your orders? I was rolling my UA Febuary $85s over to the $100s and had to cancel several times because my order at and I did not want to pay a 50% spread. Some Market Makers are strange with options, not willing to take the risk they route them off...

    AA,(alcoa) Ready for Breakout ?

    I like Alcoa, we were up on a down day and down on a up day. Alcoa is a stock of great patience, like Boston Scientific (BSX), with big Auto moving with Aluminum and other high tech materials, I have been on this ride and see no reason to jump off. I think we hit $16 by July 2014, my price...
