Echoes the '87 crash? Right. Whatever gets the clicks I guess.

There needs to be sufficient volume in the underlying before options are considered. With some new issues, it takes some time to establish that the underlying volume would be enough to support a viable option market.

Could be the exchange. I have no idea. Something is amiss somewhere...sometimes.

When markets get "fast", these things happen at IB. I'm not sure why, but it's almost like there's a significant lag somewhere in the process. Maybe there are too many orders going too fast and the technology doesn't quite keep up. It's also possible that their software isn't handling the...

They're all right. All of them. The only thing that matters is making money. If you are profitable and your voodoo works, then that's your path. I never discredit anyone's voodoo just because it doesn't work for me.

And the prison these guys go to...is surrounded by a thick painted white line. And they play a lot of tennis there.

If I were a guy selling cybersecurity solutions, my analysis would reveal that everyone needs my product as well.

That guy left here years ago for the same reasons.

It's entertaining to listen to the heads on CNBC explain the movement on any given day. If we're going up they will say "there's just so much confidence right now and X sector is storming ahead...so bullish for stocks...heading up from here". Retailers will buy that. The next day we are...

I've read several places that poodles are the smartest dogs out there. A few people I've known that had them agreed. Mine is a corgi. He's got a huge vocabulary and he's pretty smart. Very routine oriented as most pups are. Your pups just need to figure out what you want them to do - and where.

Keep them crated for a good while until they definitely have to go, then take them out and praise them like they scored a 30 bagger when they dump in the yard. The breeder we had - trained them on newspaper as very young pups and never let them touch grass until about 9-10 weeks. The grass...

What makes me angry when I trade? When the dog comes to get me and pretends something is important...like he needs to go outside or there is some giant threat lurking.... and I buy into it. I may have three orders working and I'm walking them down - but I can't have him shitting in the den!!! I...

I think a few of you are getting confused. Praetorian is not the guy that posted the (phantom) options journal. Praetorian made a comment about making 30% a month, some other guy posted the phantom journal. About what Praetorian did...maybe it was a month or two...maybe a few more. He would...

"Secrets"? Published in a book? I'm confused.

I know him. I've met some seriously great traders over the years, and this guy is one of the best. He is wildly successful and doing quite well - about as far from the US as anyone can be. He's not an option trader. He's more of a Jim Rogers type of guy and options may have been something...

I had a silver I think. The black device with grey buttons. It lasted a bit over 15 years and was still going strong when IB made me convert to the new setup. I used it an average of 1.5 times per day 6 days a week for a bit over 15 years. They were shocked that I still had it.

Does anyone else experience the following issues with IB... 1) The option strike you own has NO QUOTE, but all others do. I can literally go down my screen on Option Trader and the only 6 blanked out are the ones I own. It's like that for every expiry. It's only during after hours. 2) A...

Having been here a while, I stay to give back to those coming along now. I learned much over the years from many of the guys that have long since left the forum. I made a lot of great contacts here, got some great back office people for myself and made it. In terms of what I still get out of...

Great article. Thanks for posting.

LOL.
