    Crazy. Not hard to make money off this spread just not enough to get a good return.

    VIX futures spread margin anomalous?

    I mean it's so much larger, and that makes profits off the usual M1:M2 short-long spread, percentage-wise quite low, no, at least compared to other one-month intra-market calendar spreads? Why? Or am I misreading?

    Why can't I trade both bid and ask simultaneously?

    So using one broker for the bid and another for the ask is ok?

    Why can't I trade both bid and ask simultaneously?

    Interactive Brokers won't let me do this. Anyone know why? Is it illegal? What if I open one side with IB and another side with another broker, split-screen. Is this a problem? Isn't this what market-making is?

    Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta

    Anyone out here, full, part or weekends trade options, vol or anything else, at the retail level? Funny, I lived in Boca Raton and Seattle and never had any problem putting together a small group of traders. But out here, it’s a trading desert (apologies). SoCal trader types only chat about real...

    I'm lost. The option in question expires Wed, and it's last trading day is Wed, according to IB. The underlying expires in June.

    Ultra bond options

    Just for the jollies I went to see how much the margin was on a naked UB call expiring on Wednesday, and IB told me this contract was not available for trading, even though there were what appeared to be live quotes. Anyone know why?

    ZN options question

    Why is the delta 0.508 with minutes before expiration and the underlying at 111.240 and a 111.75 call trading at 1/64 (sometimes no bid) and 2/64? I would think it would be close to zero, no? Way out of the money, little time left.

    Yeah, I can go long one AUDUSD and Short NZDUSD, or vice versa, on IB, but was looking to simplify.

    Help with a Brain Fart Combo Question

    Ok, Let's say I short a stock at the last close on Friday and get that price, $288.50. And I simultaneously sold a one week OTM put at a 287.50 and bought a one week ITM call at 287.50 for a combined premium credit of $450. Now if the stock closes below the 287.50 strike, I get an extra $100...
