Me too. :mad: At least I'm not alone.:(

Hi Abbadon21, It's much easier for some, perhaps most here to check out that SPY option if you give the strike and expiration rather than the symbol. So you are asking about the Feb. 132P , eh? Is that the last sale or open ? I only see last sale at CBOE option chains. Since the...

Orders are auto rejected. If you can't make margin, the order does not transmit and and you are immediately notified.

Nice one, indeed!:p

Once again, I am reminded that I am old and slow. Thanks a lot.

I funded my account with a personal check in 2001. It took well over 10 days perhaps 15 days for the funds to show up in my account. The check cleared my bank after 6 or 7 days. It should be faster now, I imagine. That was a long couple of weeks with no trading or interest.

What?...is that what we need to carry around our dollars?

Ok, Cool. The emotional part is not easy to conquer. I think it's a matter of control rather than conquer. Anyways, focus surely changes as you move to put on a trade. I envy you on the sidelines.

If you were short, you'd have money on the line and that would change everything.

Also not laughing. I do see the deer in the headlights analogy here. Just sitting...watching...been there.

How about Livermore making 100 million during the crash of '29. Sometimes it's not the great call, but how you follow up. I made a great call in 2004 - fantastic - only to give it all back.:mad:
