No, not always necessary, but they are if you're doing a longer term gamma scalp, ie 2 months or so. Of course, gamma scalping in this environment can be very dangerous if you haven't fully accounted for vega. To answer the OP's q, a long b-fly with extra wings is my favorite bird, with a...

Same experience at the Ridgedale mall in MInneapolis. We were there on a Wednesday around supper time, so there weren't that many people around, but when we went into the Apple store, you'd think it was a busy Saturday afternoon.

Very nice. Was kind of worried over the weekend with the 404 error. Glad you're back. BTW, are those sponsors I see? Great site. Great resource.

https://data.nasdaq.com/MR.aspx Anyone use this? I just heard about it today on Steenbarger's blog, and tried the free trial. Pretty cool, but I'm wondering about price, since you need to call NASDAQ to get rates and subscribe. If no one knows I'll just call on Monday, but I'm curious as...

Thank you. I thought I had lost touch with what triggered a limit down scenario for a while there. The ES was down around 47 from the 4:15 close at it's lowest point.

That's not a bad idea to alleviate some of your guilt. But don't forget that you are involved in an extremely difficult business, and you need to appreciate any wind falls you can generate. And don't forget all of the times when the market is up 800 points on the day, everyone you know is...

I'm not much of a futures trader, but in watching the ES throughout the day while trading equities, I'd feel like I was flying blind if I couldn't see overnight highs and lows. Just my 1 1/2 cents.

You've demonstrated on various options threads that you know what you are talking about. If you don't mind me asking, did this gentleman give you that much of a jump start, or would you be as knowledgeable as you are now without his help. As it relates to the thread, I guess I am wondering...

41. Trade at home in western cheeseland. God it's cold.

You need to separate. I started trading away from the office partially because of a situation like this. A buddy of mine runs the same API as me, and we both do very well with it. But I swear his discretionary trades are going to blow him up. About once per month, he goes into a well...

Better your clothes and money than a kidney, I suppose.

Trading Box (trading only): Turn on around 7:30 CST. Turn off when I'm certain I won't get any more MOC fills. Second Box (TOS, Chat, General internet): Damn near on all the time, and has virus scans happening while I'm sleeping every night. (should prob turn it off more often just to...

Limit Up was the one where she basically had a "guardian devil" watching over her, and she had to take delivery of a truckload of something which was dumped in her driveway? I remember being fascinated by this when it first came out, and would love to see it again. Not available on Netflix...

Well, he said buying opportunities of "his lifetime." Notice how he kind of looked at the floor while he said it? Therefore I don't trust his "change of administration is good " spin either. But some of his explanations as to what is happening were impressive. Probably beneath the...

http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/9498 He's been on CNBC, and BB a few times, but this is the first time I've seen him where he's been able to get more than a few words in. Despite his political views, he is one smart mo fo.

Good Q. I may have been looking at this from way too much of a generalized perspective. He probably sees something very specific.

Let me be the first to welcome you to the board. PP1: It may seem like a sucker's game, due to the fact that so many people fail at the venture because they don't have the resources (capital, tenacity, family support, etc) to endure the process. PP2: Many guys on this board have had an...

Perhaps the "many" who want this info have the intelligence to due the research themselves, (unlike yourself) or at least have read your "many" previous threads on this subject.

The second paragraph of his letter damn near made me cry when they read it on CNBC. Too bad Griffith wouldn't mention the companies names. Great stuff.

Get a cat. (sorry. I'll go to bed now)
