    You mean same size as the two big down days? Yes, this is a possibility, but if it happens I can't see QQQ holding 36 in a situation like that

    Dow has corrected very little since the original post, all I can say is that it still has pleany of room to drop, currently stalling around 25 MA and starting to slip. Look for a strong move down towards 50 MA and for strong support at around 10300. QQQ has corrected quite a bit since this...

    Watching an option tape

    I'm pretty certain that options (both in size on the b/a and in price) will move slower and after the underlying simply because the options won't move because of every little wiggle, spread is a big reason for this. For example, on the Q's, a move of a few pennies won't change much on the...

    The "Flipper" strategy

    Yes, now I understand why. By short hk dollar do you mean short HK long dollar? What does that have to do with spreading HSI?

    Right, I realized this too, that's why I posted to the boards :) There is no cost-of-carry as far as I know, p/l is in HKD (hong kong dollars) and is converted at the close of the position into USD by IB. Probably every night my p/l is adjusted for interest rates but that's about all I can think...

    HSI Calendar Spreads

    As you get further out, the contract is lagging more and more behind the front month, this is what I want to use to my advantage. At the end of the front month's time (when it settles at cash) won't the next contract catch up and be very close (if not at) the cash indexes value? This is assuming...

    Bid Ask Spread Question?

    You can still have a considerable advance in price with a wide spread (in fact, when markets are moving quickly their spread will naturally increase), it's just you will need a greater move to make the same amount of money because you are paying a greater spread
