The Lightspeed VP who always finds something to say on every other post on this forum is conveniently giving this on me a miss. Robert Morse is his name I think. Now is the time to speak up. And I am against 'private" negotiations as well regardless of your internal policies.

Looking for some feedback from anyone with first hand experience. Thanks

eh?

And who do you trade with now?

Who do you trade with?

Most US shares settle on T+2, or 2 days after a trade. How does it work with put options? If one is short a put expiring on a Friday, and the underlying equity is exercised/assigned to the seller: Does the seller hold legal tender on the Monday? i.e. will the seller gain title and voting rights...

I only know VLookups unfortunately :) Where can I find a source file to query? or how could I retrieve that with the IB DDE api?

Is there any way of setting up a web alert of some sort (or API with IB) that triggers when new expiry dates open up for a particular option chain?

surely this question is very portfolio specific. Start by understanding what your benchmark is ie which index (or basket and index and weights) your folio is most correlated with, and look and buying OTM put options on the futures or ETFs tracking this basket. OR You can simply manage actively...

Sent you a PM, thanks for sharing.

I care to place buy and sell orders simultaneously. Now I understand from IB that this not allowed with options, and have opened a second portfolio management account (with IB) as a work around. Now is there a way to link those 2 accounts so they share the same margin sort of speak? I would...

Another account at IB?

Sold loads of an OTM short dated put naked with a strike of $0.05 last week. Fair market value was $0.01 yesterday and 500 contracts traded at that level. IB marked a "last price" of $0.55 overnight, spiking my margin requirements for no reason. I can see no trades in the lit market at that...

The VIX is on the CBOE website for free...not sure why the VXN ain't. Will keep this thread going for a little while before giving up.

Looking for a free source at first. The usual suspects (yahoo, barchart... ) only display delayed data. Any better suggestions?
