Not this one either. I live in the south in TN, sooo quite a few republicans though, but I do see the occasional Bernie bumper sticker/facebook post etc. Almost all of them are either super cheap, have a lot of student loan debt, or are in situations with kids and no father involved. And ALL of...

I think if you do the smart route, they will assume the losses if only one leg fills on your order.

Do you need a laptop, or can you make a desktop work? If so you can get a pretty powerful machine for less than that laptop and it will probably last longer as well. @WinstonTJ made a solid post about using a refurbished PC and how it could handle everything he threw at it with ease...

Lmao. They fixed it late last night.

Windows 10 has been working great for me so far. 1 week in. I feel like my computer boots up significantly faster and in general is running much quicker. I did do a full drive wipe though, so I'm sure that's part of it. But so far so good!

;) @Visaria, I think this song was titled after your day yesterday

I know, that has been one of my biggest complaints is that it all seems really unpredictable. The exchange won't change anything, but IB will double their requirement all of a sudden. All I want is exchange margins and the ability to chart exchange based spreads properly :( lol. Haha yeah I'm...

Anybody else seeing crazy low vix margins through IB? I don't have any positions on that would be affecting this/causing a reduction.

Is your goal to scale up faster to start making bigger returns $ wise or what?

Yep...I always have it on smart lol

OK, about made back the loss, locked in a pt @ 16.5 Based on my luck with options, that means it should be worth 30 here shortly

attempt 2. 2070, for next week @ 15.50

Almost hit that level

Thank you again sir! I've been debating on putting something on towards the front (maybe dec/jan) expecting a little flattening of the front of the curve, but haven't acted yet. After seeing the fed's statement and that rates aren't going up for a very long time apparently, I think I am going to...

My initial trade I was thinking on was buy dec vix, short jan expecting a little flattening of the curve. But I decided to go stupid and make a short term bet on the ES after reading the fed statement....oh well.

Yeah you've got that right. I traded them the other day and ran into similar issues. Today Bid/ask was like 12.50/14 and I was having issues getting filled at 13.25. Ended up closing it at 11.25 for a small loss. :mad:

Bought a 2060 call for friday @ 12.50....think I bought a bit high on that, but oh well. Will try to get out shortly.

Crazy drop in the spot VIX, dropped to 12.80 right before the report then spiked right back up to 15+

I just paid $1.78 gallon..loving it. I do have some debit spread calls on USO that I got quite cheap, so if it does spike I can at least be somewhat happy still while filling up lol.

:( There goes my 401k lol
