It's true. The links and steps I provided WILL give enough information and resources to build an auto-trading application. There are even sample apps that *almost* plug right in! Okay, you do need some programming experience, but that goes without saying... just takes a little doin' :)

LOL New exchange today: James Cramer Squawk Box 10/26/2005 8:56 AM EDT I swear, i think they actually acknowledged on Squawk Box that i may have picked a stock that went up.. But then again I may be deluding myself...ISRG... You never know... Position: none Rev Shark...

Made lots more than that...in salary. But it took me 20 years! I'm working on the tradin' part. :D

Here's one way to attack the problem: step 1. Get an IB account. Best broker for API. Best period. step 2. Get familiar with the TWS. step 3. Download and study the API stuff. step 4. Write a simple VB or C++, C#, .NET, etc interface. step 5. Test it on the IB Demo Account...

Good luck Surfy. :) I'm getting a few more dip candidates today! :D

Some useful data here: http://www.cboe.com/data/PutCallRatio.aspx

That one beat the shiite outta me. :( Traded it for a bounce. Damn thing bounced like a wet sponge... Luckily, I got plenty more good ones tho! :D

ALL RIIIGHTTT!!!! Go IB! These new rates are going to put $$$ in my pockets... Daddy needs a new boat! :D

Good luck Multi! Here's one you guys might want to look at: GGC I bought 6-month calls a few days ago (my time frame is a little longer than yours :D). I'm hoping for the ole bouncerroo. Got a ways to go, but it's working so far! Good trading to all. C

I keep saying... Buy the dips!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ :D :D :D

I didn't even realize they went sub-$1 on those cheapie ops. For only $0.50 or $0.25 it could pay to close some of those OTMs you may drag around till expiry, just because you want to aviod the commish hit. Might miss some nasty surprises occasionally. Or even go the other way and load up...

Just as a FWIW here is IB's option commish. And anecdotally, I've traded many ops over the years (some even automated :D) and have always been satisfied with the fills and service. No Minimums Smart Routed Premium => USD 0.10 USD 1.00 per contract USD 1.00 1 Contract @ USD 2...

40yotrader apparently was able to start a new career and do well with variations of the martingale. And is still doing fine AFAIK. Note that you do NOT have to double up until your account is blown! That would be kinda dumb, huh? If you have a good system, and you think of each trade as a...

I'm a bit leery of it too. I just wish IB would "stick to their knittin'" and concentrate on CS and fixing TWS problems. UNLESS...there was some way for them to bring in pit traded futures! Beans and Bellies! :D

I'll be there! :D <embed src="http://home7.swipnet.se/~w-72369/welcome.wav" loop="true" autoplay="false" width="145" height="60"></embed>

Thanks vhehn. Cooper can sometimes come up with some crazy stuff, but I know a lot of people follow him. His theory about the Wednesday spike seems to follow along on that article that Nitro, I think, posted about how the big boyz push around stocks to defend their op trades.

Interesting blurb from Jeff Cooper on Real Money: "The big arbs unleashed buy programs Wednesday to keep naked puts from exploding in their faces." I let my RM sub go a few years ago so I can't read the rest (I'm a cheap f*cker...), but what do you guys think of this supposition? Is Coop...

Yeah you've taken a lot of flack here, but I have to say, about everything you predicted re: naked SS investigations and suits are happening. Props to you. :) How much has it affected the markets and/or ruined companies and hurt investors? No idea. Will it ever be known? Would it be...
