Replaced also short with sport...

Sorry for the bad title.....the automatic error check replaced the word anyone with Antonella! :-)

Among the stocks that skyrocketed last week there was W (WayFair). In a couple of days it went from the high twenties to the low forties, fueled by the covering of the large amount of sport positions (38% of the outstanding shares).I mad some money on this rebound with the nov call46. However...

The 390 daily/monthly rule you mentioned exists for sure, but I remember, may be Robert Morse, talking about a limitation on a pure daily basis. I'll try to dig some of his posts.

It was mantioned a while ago on this forum that there was a daily maximum number of bids+offers a retailer could place. If I recall it corectly it was 1500. This is a rather big number and it would be likely unattainable using hand placed orders, which I guess is your case. Other than that it is...

Thanks for clarifying matters. I am really surprised by what they wrote to you. However, they are not mentioning any specific rule violation. Instead, they should have stated this clearly as already mentioned in this thread. Otherwise, to put it with their words, they brokerage behavior can be...

I understand you don't want to tell us who is the broker. I understand you don't want to mention the option you were scalping. But please tell us *exactly* what your broker told you. Otherwise it is a complete waste of time.

Are these Large Options Positions then made publicly available by Finra?

scuse me..who is FF?

Ciao, Ivano, Nice thread. One thing I always found puzzling is to spot the direction of these trades. I mean, since they are mostly shopped, the execution price is often way out the National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO), which is reported by these resources. So, for example, even if you see a print...

nice prediction. what did convice you of such possible scenario?

Thanks for the info on structured trades. Sometimes, I also spot combined underlying/options block trades, but it is hard to judge the direction, since probably the trades are pre-arranged and the closeness to the bid or the ask means nothing. As you said, however giving a look to OPRA data can...

I was wondering how big sized combo stock/option trades are arranged. For instance, this OTC short trade on OZON happened on January 31, where someone shorted 45780 shares @ 20.61: OZON 2022-01-31 15:09:42 20.61 45780 1854395 20.64 20.68 It is labelled by my data...

I tried to join from Italy, but I was unable to get any audio, video, slides, etc. Only the chat was working, where I could see that other people were struggling as well. I hope there will be the video posted somewhere.

Thanks for pointing out this option wheel strategy. I didn't know about it and I'll take a look. However, I am more used to single, i.e. not repeated, stock/option transactions, I plot the results (Plot1), just in case you are interested in having a look at what could be the yield profile of the...

Many times we spot these big trades only afterwards and therefore they should be only happy that someone saw them and it is trading in their same direction. I mean, there are newsletters that make a living out of "pump and dump" strategies and this situation might well be very similar. Sometimes...

This sounds more reasonable to me. Though the SEC should be watching anyhow.

This explanation sounds a little bit odd to me. Are the big firms complaining their order get executed in more chunks rather than a single one, leading to higher commissions (but also to better fill prices)? Moreover, if the retail is really providing liquidity, the market impact of big sized...

I found out they are both poker and chess players. Hey, I keep blowing my accounts, but may be they will still hire me as a chess player! :D https://www.raiseyourgame.com

Interesting story. Thank you. So, people at Susquehanna are poker player. I used to be quite good at chess. Do you think that they the same will hire me? :D
