I just bought a 40$ April put...

That a social media group made of millenials can pump a stock, it's not a big deal... but when they can influence the sp500 entry by modifying the market cap of a company worth bn's... I need to start hanging out on reddit! You are only old when you stop accepting changes.

I can't say about taxes, I thought it would all fall under capital gain. I remember reading that there are some changes, check this thread here: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/professional-or-non-professional-subscriber-for-exchange-data-fees.307198/ For the moment I can only satisfy...

You are an Islamophobe. Get checked if you care about your sanity and the wellbeing of people near you. Most phobias are mental blocks and fear. Some medication might help. In the meantime, fuck off.

Those same countries, including a few more, are sacrificing the old and fragile in the name of economy. Late action and incompetence were common in the west. Then you have sociopaths like Trump, not an offence just a fact, telling people to inject bleach, and spreading idiocy that brainwashedq...

We have to thank the USA, the UK, France and few more if Europe is being flooded with desperate people. Easy to declare destroy and conquer when you have laser guided bombs that come in the name of democracy vs stones.

The White Tiger

Recently minimums were reduced even with top brokers. Fractions, dollar unit trades... I like the idea as I prefer tiny real size trading to demo for beginners. But spreads and/or commissions can eat plenty of % on fractional size. Leverage temptation, specially on FX, can destroy any size...

Are you able to trade usa ETF now? I am also in the UK with ib, the first few days of the year, I suddendly had permission to trade USA ETF, not anymore... Back to option assignment to be able to get some in. I hoped that this Brexit disaster would at least remove this silly EU regulation.

Stick to the plan, not to the trade.

Days To Expiration

I remember reading that fractional orders are filled with the house. The house hold the remaining balance of the fraction. The orders are not sent to the market to be filled, but it's done otc, even with brokers like IB and Schwab's, unless the broker has to balance its own book that manages the...

In some payoff simulation of slightly unbalanced otm 132/231 Vs 121, visually the 132 looks to me like it might enter the profit belly faster than 121. Will try soon. I am enjoying learning verticals here, the knowledge shared is priceless.

Thank you. I think I didn't use the right wording, my bad, not native speaker, but I understand well your point about return and expectation. If I understand correctly you were trading future calendar spread on vix? I have tried to understand them but the vix itself is still a complex instrument...

very difficult to recognise a rich person in today's world. Plenty of new money and different cultures. Some like to spray them, some don't. Some will wear expensive watches and clothes, some won't. Some are very well educated, others are not. Some will flaunt it, others will hide it.

Thank you for the contribution. I am curious about what were you trading in 2006-2007 when you switched full time and had a great first year, and what made it so great in terms of return.

I am also a student of options and been trading for over a decade. I love options and find this forum a gold mine, although you have to know how to look and learn "Greek" metaphorically speaking. What I like is the opportunity of risk control and the multidimensional take on trading. You can be...
