    Anybody know what the story with OIH options on IB is today?

    I already did and they were not that clear. I wondered if someone else had more insight. There apparently has been a symbol change but it looks like the new symbol does not exactly represent OIH. The new symbol is DXM. Here is a pdf file explaining the situation...

    Hi, Can you please tell me where the maximum profit potential is reached on either a bear put vertical spread or a bull call vertical spread where the long leg is deep in the money and the short leg is a bit out of the money? Thanks.

    Stupidest Woman Alive: Pelosi: 500 Million Americans will lose their jobs

    I think it is pretty obvious, as some posters have already pointed out, that she meant to say 500,000 (not 500,000,000). It's a mistake that she shouldn't have made, but what's the big deal? I think the fact that you guys can't recognize it for a simple speaking error says more about you...

    IB backfill on OIH not working

    Haven't been able to get a backfill on OIH for about two weeks now... Many other symbols are working better than before, but OIH backfill is non-existent. This should be fixed!

    IB backfill is terrible!

    What is the deal with IB backfill? Normally I use another feed, but the last couple of days I have been using IB for backfill and it is terrible. Even after hours of trying, the data doesn't come in. Anybody know how to fix this? Thanks.

    SPWR dropping in past 45 minutes - why?

    I read that too, but the move seems like a ridiculous reaction for that slight wording change. I wonder if it could be something else?

    Mark Brown and his Snowball Strategy

    Although I have not read this thread in its entirety, judging from the equity curves, why wouldn't you just trade the opposite way that the system suggests? The reverse of either equity curve looks like it would be a pretty substantial return with relatively low drawdowns.

    IB to the Rescue

    There are rules but little incentive to follow them, because ignoring the rules is seldom punished, especially on the AMEX, PHLX, and PSE. If you want pretty fair treatment, route your orders to the BOX, CBOE, or ISE.

    IB to the Rescue

    I hope you are kidding. The options markets are full of crooked market makers, with the AMEX, PHLX, and Pacific being the worst. Things 10x worse than this go on every day.

    IQ Feed (DTN) - Errors in DataFeed ?

    I agree with this. I have noticed this on IQFeed in fast markets. I have multiple data feeds so I can check them against others. I don't think they are any worse than most others over time, though.

    Penny-priced options

    Am I mistaken or does it seem as though there are only 13 issues that will be penny priced? Thanks http://www.nyse.com/Frameset.html?nyseref=http://www.google.com/search?hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26q%3Doption+penny+pilot+arca&displayPage=/press/1160647899310.html
