Often people do gripe for arbitrary reasons, but this is beyond the normal scope of most of the bickering...I remember the early days of Globex when this did occur more often...At that time, the electronic contract really was the wild west...But, at some point, with the volume and liquidity of...

..and lets not forget oct 15, 1998...that was really sinister...about 2 minutes after the bond market closed and the day before october options expiration...market went flying and never looked back...set up the entire final move higher into 2000... its a good thing greenspan does not have the...

I guess they are selling far dated puts about 5% OTM and collecting on the theta decay and HOPING AND PRAYING that none of their stocks blow up...

This is probably the first and last time I will ever get involved in the bs that circulates around this place most of the time... But, WD Gann, after about a year in this place, listening to more demented and deranged mo'fo's...you take the prize man...Not only are you arrogant and self...

I would suggest just looking at the IB option analytics or portfolio analytics...It already has the position to run analytics off of as well

you are assuming that all of the computers are going to be acting in a similar manner, all executing on the same fundamental technique...But I dont believe that is the case or will ever be the case, since they simply reflect whomever designed the automated strategy in the first place...

Fibonacci Trader is designed exclusively for multiple time frame scaling...I would suggest you look at that, it is an underrated analytics platform...

I think its a rough gig...Even selling premium, you still have to have some feel for direction because you are always exposed to directional risk...If you can really gauge overbought and oversold really well(and thats not at all easy in this environmetn), I think you can do some decent stuff...

Actually, it probably explains why some of the principals in that hedge fund left...After all, how can you pay these guys their huge salaries and bonusses based on management fees and incentive fees from 28 million...Something definitely went amiss with that fund to go from 400 million to 28...

Good point...

Not sure if you are still considering CRT monitors since you seem to be on the fence...If you are, you might want to check out the Viewsonic P95f+(black or beige) whichever is your preference...I connected them to a Matrox Parhelia card for triple screen configuration...I liked the fact that I...

I read him for awhile back in November and December, but basically stopped back in early December when it went to a subscriber basis...I felt it was pretty good at gauging market sentiment in a "loose" and "macro" sense, but as far as being in touch with the short term, or "micro" flows it was a...

LOL...good one

It really is pretty outrageous when one thinks about it...The fees are too high...I think that it was overlooked by many during the high volatility markets of the late 1990's and early 2000's, but going forward if the market drops lower and the ranges contract, those fixed costs are going to get...

Off the top of my head a few that I have probably seen too many times to count: The Big Lebowski A Fish Called Wanda Being There The Jerk Caddyshack True Romance Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Dumb and Dumber Coming to America Trading Places (almost all of John Hughes 80's...

I will agree on that point...Options expiration itself is definitely a skewed game...There are all sorts of techniques that seem to be used to either compress and expiration or to engineer a "jump" from one price range to the next either pre-market with a gap and compression or off the back of...

I happened to come across it yesterday in the New York Times...WHat really caught my attention was the fact that Holly Becker had a computer networked to all of the pending Lehman Brothers research in her house, where her husband, the fund manager easily could have found it...That will probably...

I dont understand which evidence leads you to this opinion. It appears to me to be an opinion borne only of recent market activity, and not based on all of the possible outcomes. Markets expand and contract, nothing new there. Volatility expands and contracts. You certainly would not want to...

Actually, that is a game the market makers play to induce you into playing with them more often...They knew you were a first timer and didnt want you to walk away thinking that they were playing games with your orders, so they gave you a freebie, knowing that you will come back for more and...

Yeah, they have been rolling out all the old Cheech and Chong flicks on the Comedy Channel for the past month...I remember watching those movies 20 years ago when I was a little kid, not even knowing what the hell those funny cigarettes were...The movies were funny even without the drug...
