    Exchanges(CBOE)/IB - What is this trick?

    Is it say to assume that your order was being worked by a live broker ? That's about the only scenario I can think of that would allow that to happen. I'm not familiar with a BTC order, is that similar to MOC ? The reason that I stated that both your and STOCKS orders were worked by live...

    Who's from Chicago?

    Just opened up in Wheeling on Milwaukee Rd. I guess there's one in Evanston also, but a few friends went there last week and said it was outstanding.

    Daytrading vs. fundamental analysis

    I think that the reason that the majority of people here use TA of FA is the time frame. Most here (including myself) are looking for quick moves, in which case FA is not going to help you (unless you have deduced from your FA that corporate news in coming in the very near future). Anyway...

    Exchanges(CBOE)/IB - What is this trick?

    Was your order being worked by a broker, or was it in the book ?? My only guess was that an actual broker was working the order, and what probably happened was someone else changed the quote. Unfortunately it happens all the time in the OEX and SPX. Generally, here's the scenario--- Your...

    Exchanges(CBOE)/IB - What is this trick?

    Thought I would give him(Nomore) a fair shot, but from what you said, and the more I thought of it, I probably just wasted my time, oh well, no skin off my back. Vega

    Options on futures

    I should add that some exchanges are pretty good at making sure such orders are done in accordance to the rules and that the market place has a shot at 50% of them for a few seconds (australia for instance has done a nice job), others however don't seem to care as long as there is volume and...

    Options on futures

    When I was in the NDX and SPX pits at the CBOE, it was pretty much at the point that if an order actually made it down to the floor, either it was a small retail order, or it sucked !! Everything was already shopped around, and the only reason that they even quoted it in the pit was to be...

    Exchanges(CBOE)/IB - What is this trick?

    But instead of bashing him I thought I would provide some insight into what really goes on down there. Nomoreoptions-- I hate to break it to you, but if you're going to trade options off the floor, you had better expect to hit the bid, or lift the offer, because trying to buy the bid or...

    Options on futures

    Def, I think one of the things that may skew volume numbers is that although the majority of orders are not that complex, it always seemed like there would be two or three huge orders a day (usually crossed by a broker for two "customers") that would account for a large part of the daily...

    Exchanges(CBOE)/IB - What is this trick?

    As a former member of THEY at the CBOE, I've got a few questions for you: When you see your price trade, do you know for sure that it was not part of a spread (in which case you have no entitlement) ? How much size do you normally trade ? I honestly have no idea how big you trade, but...
