Went below 13120, so now you have 3 contracts long @ 13160, 13140 and 13120?

And if you read the next sentence it says "Consider an investor that owns stock and purchases a protective put. " Just as I thought, they are including things besides options (stock) to make the claim. Options are zero-sum (excluding transaction costs as DblArrow pointed out).

It is not debatable, if you agree that futures is zero sum then you must agree that options are zero sum - it is the same principle; for every option seller there is an option buyer. The only people who claim that neither are zero sum are those that include external products in the picture...

LOL, history has a way of repeating itself. Good luck although it doesn't appear luck is required for a long position these days...

Oh good, that's the sign of a top, now the market can tank.

Huh? If the calls you buy expire worthless then you cannot roll them over without losing money. I don't mean to be rude, but it sounds like you are throwing out a lot of terms you read without understanding them. If you are an existing ES emini trader how can you not know what zero-sum is?

Wow. Kudos to you for putting yourself out there with that kind of information!

This doesn't directly address your question (because I don't know the answer) but there are indirect ways of leveraging the money/buying power in your account to someone elses benefit if they have the ability to place trades in your account: Someone could use your account to place a large buy...

http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=92900 So if you download some software from the internet to link between TWS and another app and it turns out that the linking software has a backdoor in it that allows the software developer to place trades in your account (without your...

I don't see how that story supports the position that IB should add fraud protection (at its customers expense), if anything it seems to refute that, unless you assume that IB's protection will be better then E-Trades. In any case fraud protection only works if the firm agrees that fraud...

Nice find! I looks like the dual 3.6Ghz 1Mb Xeon processors alone are worth that much

I agree.

LOL - good point. Whenever I see someone attach an Excel or Word document to a post here I cringe because I know a lot of folks will readily download and open it without a second thought. And while I'm sure 99.9% of the time that's fine, with the number of vulnerabilities/exploits that...

Open tcp 3389, send me your userid,password and IP address and I'll take a look (j/k) Lots of processes arent necessarily a problem. Your A/V software reporting scanning outgoing email when you arent sending any is though.

Don't worry, there is no chance of that - they don't allow children to work where I do.

Quote from showyouwang: It occurs to me that a reason you probably would not be able to day trade markets is because you trade while you're working your job. Your attention is split between two different things. Trading isn't your job, it's your hobby. Agreed, that is a problem but I'm not...
