kevin, i didn't use the "quote" function on purpose b/c i don't want to duplicate the rosie pic. so here's my response to your post. the swiss intervening like that is kinda a grey swan in my opinion (everyone knew they were going to intervene but just not by that much in one day). that move...

try options on fxf although the b/a is wide enough for rosie o' donnell to walk through and the vol is nil. as the other poster said, go otc IF it's that important to you.

re getting rid of crap, here's a link to revo uninstaller. if you don't want to download it you can use the portable version at the bottom of the page. if unwanted programs is the ONLY reason you'd spend more money i suggest you save money and use this program when you initially start up...

+1. more often than not, when someone has a plan not to succeed (the definition of a backup plan) they usually need it.

there are about 3200 optionable stocks excl. etfs there are about 1750 optionable stocks that have adv above 500k so either stick to those stocks with high adv for lower b/a spreads and/or be prepared to spend more time working orders w/ less liquid options. re variables like cost/iv...

my .02, test your strategy on one non leveraged instrument such as spx if you're worried about continuous cars and then trade one non leveraged instrument such as the ES. ES is better than sso for all the reasons we already know (better liquidity, tight b/a, lower, taxes, no compounding issue...

if i had a nickel for every time i heard someone say this or i told someone to do this i'd have a lot of nickels...it seems tos may have a lot of accounts but none of them will be funded after the recent problems. i can only imagine the weekly staff meetings... tda president: the good news...

The dollar bill in front is a constant reminder of the greed that is destroying America. -Occupy Wall Street protestor who hasn't showered in months, worked in years and would appreciate it if you could loan (not that he'd be able to repay you) that same dollar so he could buy a slice of...

i agree it's worth studying - it's just not worth paying for. something about why buy the cow comes to mind...

you're right. wallace, here's a simple website that allows you to input diff numbers for options prices. for ex. you can realistically change the following: stock price iv you can't change div yield or rates (usually it's not going to have that much of an impact if you change it a...

+1 unfortunately. nice one:D

if you (or anyone) is that worried transfer everything to ib and use tos for analytics - esp after the recent bullsh*t trading platform probs.

you get access to credit for equity/fixed income (used for often on fixed income side for leverage in higher multiples) however w/ so many big players reducing risk (e.g. financing to all but their best customers like paulson) financing is either unavailable period or prohibitively expensive...

let me save you some time, money and stress, most of their courses are simple rtm strategies, usually based off rsi (usually rsi2). for the love of God, do not buy them, period the end. i never bought them. i found this out by from their website which has the same info for FREE.

esp in light of recent platform probs just email and ask. not sure how much room they have to negotiate since it's under the TD ameritrade umbrella now.
