hey coach, Is the OEX the same way as far as last day to trade?

How and when did you cancel your NTKN service? How much notice did you give. I attempted to cancel mine on the 16th of November by sending emails and leaving messages (Heaven forbid they'd ever want to answer their f..ing phone). I received an email near the end of November saying their...

Up front disclaimer: I trade prop so leverage is not an issue. I've tried trading the indexes before and I just couldn't make it work. Hats off to those who can. Strong/weak stocks vs the indexes on any given day is kind of a cliche` but it's one of the things I look at on a daily basis...

Lescor, you rock. Bladouc, check this out. It's been posted many times. http://www.traders.org/rstapes38steps.htm You're still on step 1. What lescor is talking about is the only thing that will get you to step 30 and beyond. It's yours for the taking. Just depends on how...

"Confidence doesn't come from winning, Winning comes from confidence. And confidence comes from hard work." -Vijay Singh OK, I cheated. I know it's not from a trader, but it's my favorite quote when it comes to trading. It reminds me every day to work my ass off rather than waiting for...

I am a lurker on this thread and have learned a ton. But I also daytraded for years and years, and then eventually got a real job while swing trading. Now I am in a position where I can work and do a little spread trading. Thru all of this experience (not a ton I know), I can tell you...

Thanks wareco! Worked like a charm. I lost all of mine about 2 weeks ago. Thought I was screwed. About 7 files came up and somewhere in the middle, all of my old faves came up. Thanks again.

Ditto. The analytics are awesome. You can set up a demo account to try it out for 10 days. Just a question... Have you checked out optioncoach's thread- SPX Credit spread trader? You have probably seen it. I've been lurking there for months and have learned a ton. It just seems as...

I entirely agree, but the assignment issue is something I wasn't really taking into account. Ouch. That hurts to just think about. Mainly just going by Cottle's simple equation: +U -C = -P Great example though. Still learning. Thanks.

That makes alot of sense. OX sems to allow the upper limit. But the major retirement company I just left only allowed covered calls. No buying of calls or puts at all, much less spreads. I would assume that the people making those rules realize that a covered call is the same as a naked...

OK, now I see you said futures, and not options. But for the other q's regarding option spreads in an IRA, use the link above. It appears they do allow it at OX. I'll just go back to lurking now.

Donna, https://www.optionsxpress.com/welcome/faq/iras.aspx?sessionid=#ira Hope it helps. Let me know if the link doesn't work. Just lurking. Jeff

I tried their free trial just to take a look at the software. No comparison. OX is a dinasaur.

Two friends of mine own a construction business. they were in the same boat. 60 - 70 homes/ year. That is not the case this year. Their main problem is that the huge building companies, such as pulte, KBH, etc, have moved in and built hundreds of spec homes in an area which is used to...

By the way, that was my first post on this thread, even though I've been reading it for months. I've learned a ton. Thanks, and good trading to all.

I believe it's just RUT under the analyze tab, but $RUT under the charts tab.

Just wanted to bump this to see if there are any opinions out there. Seems to be a few new designations making the rounds, this being one of them. This one would seem to be a hell of alot more useful in the trading/hedge fund world than the CFA.

I agree. CNBC sucks. The only value I seem to get out of it anymore is listening to Squawk Box on XM on the way to work in the morning. Seldom valuable, but if something serious is going on, you're primed for it. And speaking of CNBC, and in relation to this thread, I've resorted to just...
