    BOX Trading Starts Friday Morning, February 6, 2004

    Def, You are right in that I don't have a complete understanding of IB's options cost structure. I did look up ISE cancel fee which is also 1.00 and similarly requires more executions than cancelations. There are also many rebates and credits at the various exchanges too..... In regards to...

    BOX Trading Starts Friday Morning, February 6, 2004

    Right... and unless the so-called throughput costs more than .20 per order they make money on each cancel as the cboe cost is 1.00.

    Zoloft

    Fine advise Inandlong except one little thing. There is no test for serotonin deficiency or even a known healthy level. The theory is a result of backward reasoning. In some people juicing their serotonin leads to improved mood - therefore depression must be due to deficiency of same...

    Zoloft

    I have not taken them but as therapist have worked with many who have. They definitely seem to have withdrawal effects and, like Demonet says, one should go off them slowly, with MD's help. Also, and unique to anti-depressants among psychotropic drugs, is that study after study shows that...

    BOX Trading Starts Friday Morning, February 6, 2004

    Yes.... I'm sure IB is making a nice killing on those fees. Like Nordic says, they are not always charged and the fee is less than 1.20. Add to that, the fact that CBOE instituted a monthly fee cap......

    Trade on BOX open day?

    Probably even faster since trading will not be impinged by the criminal pit trader induced delays. :)

    Can IQFeed be used for trading???

    It seemed better the last couple of hours today but there were no volume surges to really give it a test. The latest from DTNIQ: http://boards.quotetracker.com/board/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=19085&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1 "After switching our backend systems yesterday, we...

    Can IQFeed be used for trading???

    The ES lags continue today. Phone support still claims to be all over it and installing new equipment.... Day 2 of no trading- this is impossible.

    Looking for fairly "liquid" index options

    1 point on the spx option (cboe) =$100. This is when the delta is 1. So.... each fully valued SPX option =2 ES.

    Esignal users- how did post FOMC go today? Lagged or no?

    Since I figured not too many Esignal users would be reading the thread on iqfeed where this question came up, here is a dedicated thread for us iqfeed customers to learn more. Mrpace asked in the thread above "I'm also a IQFeed subscriber, and am frustrated at what happened today, although...

    Can IQFeed be used for trading???

    Did anyone else notice if other symbols besides ES lagged? I thought I noticed the spx cash keeping up. But....yes and importantly this has been a problem of late during volume surges with qfeed/dtniq and is harder and harder to tolerate. They have not responded to my complaint email this...

    This is too funny!

    I agree Mackle... this is a truly genius post. And so key.... the burden of proof as rogue said above. The idea that digging up, rapidly burning, and then dumping into the air millions of years worth of compacted organic waste (fossil fuels) could have negligible effect on our atmosphere...

    Best Platform to trade Equity Options

    Just a quick correction: with TOS you can manually adjust how many options from each chain are on your screen all the way up to the entire chain..... just raise the # of contracts in the top right corner.

    "anyone who doesn't believe in god is crazy" - bill o'reilly

    Actually, not so far fetched. There is even a psychoanalytic concept to describe this kind of defense mechanism- the "reaction formation". Clearly, Strom was attracted to young black women, was embarrassed about it, and subsequently spent the early part of his career railing against...

    Fighting the Tape

    Two possible answers. One is that fading apparent trends has been smart of late and over time the market tends to chop more than trend. Second, you chose a handle named after the intelligence service of a failed empire (I assume)... i.e. maybe you do have a thing for bucking the trend mentally.

    Kewl TWS feature you may not be aware of...

    Wow... a thread laced with IB bashing, yet no one took the time to thank Bungrider for the heads up on a great feature. As a prolific canceller, I will definitely be using and appreciating this.

    Trader and Modern Psychoanalyst looks at fear and greed

    I agree with jem to the extent that all the psych in the world will not help if you do not have an edge. Further more, and according to most psychoanalytic theory, the unconscious remains unknowable even in the most insightful individual.... Point being that I cannot imagine reaching a so called...
