I have found that Charles Kirkpatrick's ratio of a closing price to a longer term moving average allows me to compare the strength of almost any symbol I put up. I have never wished I was in an asset where that ratio was less than, at least, 1.0

What sites or screens have been your best sources for "value" stock picks?

I am looking at the Interactive Brokers Time and Sales stream for the June emini S&P at 09:12:01 Chicago Time today 6/2/2011. I was long the emini and had a MIT sell at 1316.50. When the market traded at 1316.50 I was not filled. The IB representative explained to me that although there were...

A forum search on "Tradebullet" produced nothing satisfactory. Any links you suggest would be greatly appreciated.

Is anyone currently automating their strategies from Tradestation to Interactive Brokers? Is Tradebullet currently the best? Is there other order entry software that is better?

I have gone ahead and programmed the strategies and am getting good results.

It had occurred to me that, whatever economic "philosophiy" was on top in Washington, the market could price securities efficiently because we would have the standard government indicators to, at least, guide us. The only thing to fear, I thought, would be if a failing administration took over...

A friend of mine sent me this link to a new York Times Article. I don't know how we traders could survive this: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/13/opinion/13herbert.html?_r=1 Better write your congressman!

I see what you mean by the "minus" Net P/L of Long Stock and Put at Expiration = MAX(0,StrikePrice-CurrentPrice)+(CurrentPrice-EntryPrice)-Premium

Pardon my ignorance, as I have always liquidated my options before expiry and never excercised. You say: at expiration: if underlying > 2.0128 ( 1.9755 + 0.03733), profitable -> unlimited if underlying = 2.0128 breakeven if underlying < 2.0128 max loss of 0.03733 - (1.98 - 1.9755)...
