sjfan, maybe you should ask yourself a question why it is that you do not know anybody who is making a decent living without the institutional support. or why do you think that only folks in investment banking can make it with the funding/IT/analytical support of the institution. if you...

EXACTLY!!! i even notified IB and had some email exchange with them about 1 month ago helping them to sort it out! they have no clue...

i think IB is picking only one of the destinations (usually the largest size) and shows it under the smart routing. as mentioned above, IB sucks when it comes to market data - and likely is one of the worse in the industry... i agree with bob - the cumulative should be shown for smart.

i am scared already... douche bag.

are you talking about yourself? where is your argument or facts? who is offending here? i simply defended other poster who said something reasonable but losers like you and makloda were making fun of it... so go back to your circle of ignorance "moderator" :D

i remember turkey using USD much more than DEM, then I remember Turkey using USD more than EUR. now they basically use EUR only. the spreads on the street for EUR around caucasus, and even in crude oil countries like azerbaijan and kazakhstan are comparable to USD. that was not the case 10...

i do and do not agree with your last post. you clearly has some experience but that does not make you experienced. for young guys it is certainly a good idea to learn first, i.e. good university, enter the industry, learn the ropes, trade someone else money, maybe do some management etc...

i do not comment of individual trades of ET members. this one in particular does not look very smart to start with. you are selling cheap insurance after volatility went down and market shot up. your greeks look horrible and if the trade goes south it goes south big time, e.g. you are short vega...

adjustments in option trading follow the same rules as trading in the underlying, i.e. problem of scaling in/out. if you like to scale out of profitable positions you will like to make adjustments to your option strategy, e.g. converting long call into a costless straddle/strangle after a...

you can trade a calendar spread, e.g. with IB TWS. of course you pay commissions on both sides...

the question is what you want to accomplish. VaR is designed for situation where you want to convey a message (to senior management) about a large and complex portfolio. for a smaller portfolio (let's say 50 positions) you are better off with scenario analysis and greeks because the...

wow - you impress me. :D but i guess you did not get my point. p.s. do you really think i have time to read 6 pages of rubish? well it looks like it is some guessing game thread - clearly i did not get that...

nadeemrock, either post an indicator or keep it for yourself (or go fuck yourself). nobody cares about some fancy pictures.

you speak like an expert on IBs. which major IB did you work for? or are you just full of shit? the guy that would never make it? I love this ET bitching... p.s. GS maybe wanted AIG to be bailed out - but they never wanted TARP money - they are not in the business of making money for...

why do you think it will break the support? btw: up almost a point (ZB) from my call...

i think today we will see short time lows - rally by the close.

:D :D :D :D :D i am glad jack is not banned. every evening after trading he gives me a great laugh. recently it has become better and better - i wonder what jack smokes..

thanks john for such a long write up. it is interesting to see how other traders think. godspeed

holy smoke - jack is back. for me the biggest mysteries in trading is what jack smokes- looks like some really good stuff... p.s. yes i do trade the first 10 minutes.

that was just an example to get you on the right path, i.e. the point is we do not know what these NPVs are and vis-a-vis which institutions. Therefore we do not know what the risks are. you are an idiotic retail dumbass - i am putting you on ignore. goodbye
