    Option Spreadsheet Request

    Are you just looking to quote/price various spreads? Or do you want to scan for spread opportunities using various inputs? It is best to build your own sheets, pulling r/t data from whatever front-end/software you use. That way you can manipulate the data however you see fit. Plus, you will...

    Thanks. Yeah, cable management was a big pain. Took me forever to finish it. I used velcro straps to bundle everything together. It looks great now.

    Update: I am quite pleased with my computer and monitor setup so far. The computer is incredibly fast, and virtually silent. The monitors and stand work together quite well. Here are some pictures of the completed system:

    Trading Computer

    It is not really a fully glass desk, just a glass top attached to a wooden desk. I have made sure it can support the weight. I am assembling the monitors and stand now. My first impressions of the stand are great. It is quite sturdy and very adjustable. I will post some pics once it's...

    I have all the equipment here in boxes. Don't have time to set it up today, most likely will be tomorrow. It's a free-standing desk stand (has a base). Clamping to, or drilling into, the desk is not an option as it's a glass-top desk. Wall mounting is out as well, since there are windows...

    It looks clean on my end, granted I'm running Kaspersky. But here is the stand from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Ergotech-Over-Monitor-Stand-100-D28-B33/dp/B001NPEC64/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1364078325&sr=8-3&keywords=six+monitor+stand (by looking up that link I just noticed that they...

    Mean volatility

    Since I know you are a Livevol user; be aware that their proprietary indicators, such as IV30, is a weighted, hypothetical measure of the volatility of a rolling 30-day option. This differs from the volatility of an option of a discrete expiration cycle. The measure of a stock's historical...

    Actually Ergotech. Ergotron does not make a six-monitor stand (unless you combine 2 or more stands). Here is the model: http://www.ergotechgroup.com/products/heavy-duty-17-24-36/hex-3-over-3-lcd-desk-stand-63/

    The best cheapest monitors??

    I have three 22" Viewsonics (1920x1080) I believe I paid $149 per screen. Pretty solid, well priced monitor. Although, I did just purchase some Dell U2412m screens for a new setup.

    Those of you techys, what are you trading on?

    Depends on your budget and your needs. I just recently purchased a computer and monitors, the discussion regarding it is in the "Trading Computer" thread. While I am not an expert by any means, feel free to ask me any questions.

    Those of you techys, what are you trading on?

    I am unclear on your premise. Are you inquiring whether your current machine is adequate for your needs? Or are you just interested in other trader's systems? If so, there is a thread at the top of this forum that chronicles various trading set-ups.

    atticus' single-name delta book

    Whoa dude, an iPad, are you serious? Don't you realize that your 9.7" screen is overkill. Are you trying to put a man on the moon or something? I bet I can model skew more accurately with my Palm Pilot.

    How "Pros" size their trades

    I never made any claims about my personal income or wealth. I am merely saying that if I wasn't able find trades with edge, then I would make no trades. Thus, if I am not trading, I lack the potential to make money. How else would I know if a trade is a good/bad bet, if I could not quantify...

    Sorry, I couldn't read your whole post as the screen on my iPhone is too small (what I trade from). And yeah, Tahoe is a real shit-hole. No one with money lives there.
