Thank's for commenting Darwin, I appreciate your comments, I got stuck holding the bag on a terrible little stock some SeekingtheAlpha guy was promoting. I was so stupid, I bought at $3.75 and did not sell this seconds latter at $5.25, how stupid am I for holding this back to $3...

In my insane days of buying giant blocks of Options I would use a Reserve Book showing 200 Contracts and wait until they would get hit, when a stock is moving fast upward, you can get out of those contracts 2000 contracts but it's best to work your order out manually on a high flying stock...

I dug out a very old Options book one with Ed Thorpe (How to beat Vegas with Black Jack), the guy who could not keep his mouth shut when he figured out how to play Black Jack. Why not keep this little bit of information under your hat until you become greatly wealthy and hide by jumping...

Conn's has been kicking butt with a killer Q and a great FY 14 and huge FY 15 projected growth in sales and income. What do you think about this stock? I had bought some at $74 and now it's breaking out and should blow past it's 52 Week High soon. Just thought I would share a stock with all...

BRY, on the Facebook trades I could see the Big Buyers via the Tape and Level 2 buying. After decades of watching the LL2 and Tape reading, it's not so much gambling as to educated guesses like counting cards like Edward Thorpe did with his Black Jack in Vegas. Scalpers and...

Make sure you are only paying $3.00 per ticket plus $.50 per contract, you have too many choices to pay the high prices some of the Brokers are stabbing newbies with. Some Brokers are bad guys, $29.99 plus $2.00 per contract, that's the price those guys charged when I first started...

Billy you want the top list from other Brokers? Thank's for posting Ameritrade's buys.

He could be William, he's he guy I wrote about. William was always picking stocks and got the nick-name "Top Tick Billy". You think this Trader is doing ok and finally turned the game around?

"JustTrading", thank's for replying along with Naz on this topic. I do put in what I consider fair after using some of the Broker's pricing models using the Black-Shoal's and Binomial pricing models. Cool you got the extra .02, your Broker must have wanted your fairly priced option. I find...

Hey Bry, I got lucky trading FB's $51.50 and $53.00 Calls on Thursday and Friday, it was gambling at it's highest form but I only used $8000 to play with those dice. I bought FB's $51.50s for $35 and sold them for $95 to $140 and FB's $53.00 for $5 to $10 and sold them from...

Hi, I am wondering why some stock-options have the following Markets? Bid $1.00 Ask $6.00 Bid $1.80 Ask $9.00 Is this based on non-liquid nature of a stock, super low float and low volume like my KS(My KS did a 2 for 1 Split, I wrote about the problems I...

What if a Option Buyer buy's 500 Weekly Calls on Facebook December 14 Calls with a $50.00 Strike and never did exercise them? Hypothetical situation, you have a Trader who has 500 calls in the money by $3.00 and he dies at his desk, what happen's to all those Calls $3.32 in the...

Knight Capital (NITE) was about to introduce a new program to take advantage of all the money with HFTS. They had ten computers (Please forgive my lack of tech savy) or mainframes trying to take advantage of rapid-fire stocks. Instead of making money, NITE lost almost $450 Million because they...

Thank you for all these great ideas! Usually after I am done trading I go to Bar-charts and review their data, it's a great site for finding ideas on Equities and Options. Esignal has a Stock-Radar that allows you to catch stocks breaking out from Penny-Pump-and-Dumps to every...

Why do ECN Rebates at Prop Shops claim they are going to pass along all the ECN rebates that are scheduled based on volume we/or the firm hits? I was reading the fine print on ARCA, INCA and EDGX and it's funny how we are suppose to get the higher rebates from these ECNs and we dont...

Risk-Management watches various high-profile accounts, I know guys who worked with Brokers who told me they did sit back and watch some guys trading massive positions using the excuse of "Risk-Management". When one guy told me "Great trade on WXYZ trade" I realized they were watching...

I am looking for a new stock-scanner to find stocks hitting new $52 week highs above and below $.01 or lower? I notice some stock-scanners are not going live until the stock hit's above $2.00 which defeats the purpose of catching these chaos stocks like ICLD that went from $1.00 to $15? in a few...

Hey, thank's for the website!

Why not join them? I bought Junes $80s after blundering my ICE trade, all the little 'mordidos (Spanish word connoting bites taking out or used in slang for bribes to pass through this policeman's territory.) so we raised prices why not buy the stocks benefiting? We had no way to fight Exxon...

i-Riley, strange to hear that name of a company that would clip me and make me whole again. I traded Syquest, Applied Magnetic, Hutchinson, Read-Write and Iomega back and forth during the 94-98 period. I think Iomega outlasted our Syquest and my friend's favorite three-legged-horse Applied...
