Thank you. I decided to make my spreads narrower from now on, instead of 30 points I reduced them to 15 points. That should help. When I called IB they said the margin call was due to the delta. This excess liquidity is a pain. Do other brokers have this as well?

I have been using them for sometime now and still have not being able to fully understand how they calculate things. Did you try this page http://individuals.interactivebrokers.com/php/webhelp/dvp/ibexAcct.htm and this one...

I am not very familiar with trading futures. Are there options available on the futures? I'm Brazilian and got a bank account there. I need it more for a hedge than anything else, that's why I am wondering about the options on futures. Do you ever wire funds from Brasil to an US bank...

Hello dear traders, I am looking for an online broker where I could trade the Real. Does anyone know of 1? If there any ETFs that mimics this currency? Thank you!

Hello, I have a lot of platinum bars and I am wondering what's the procedure if I want to sell contracts on platinum and deliver the metal? Does anyone know how it works? Thank you

The stock is trading at $11 and the feb 20 calls are trading at $2 bucks. Volatility is extremely high.

I got charged the 10 cent fee for holding options on ES overnight. It is not per contract just a flat 10 cents.

I have an account at IB and Think Or Swim. I read numerous people complaining about the margin requirements at IB so I decided to compare it to another broker. Check this out. I calculated the margins for selling 5 DEC 24 calls on the QQQQ for $3.68. IB margin requirement: $5872.50...

Can someone confirm the .10 per contract? I hold some overnights and haven't seen any mention on their site about the .10 fees. Other thing that called my attention is the margin requirements on IB. I was reading the ratings on the home page of this web site and decided to check it myself. I...

So fucking hilarious when a forum is intended to ask questions or have discussions. If you don't like move on.

I'm not wasting your time dick head, if you don't want to answer just don't come back to this post. If you don't know just shut up and let someone who knows answer.

That would be the options on the ES futures not the ES futures. Sorry I forgot to mention that.

thanks, but I don't see november on the list

The November contracts will seize trading @ 3:15 eastern today. What will be the settlement print? 3:15 quote or the close @4pm I thought it seized trading on thursdays at the close and settlement is the open print on friday. Did that change? thank you

-3.12 is the theta not the price of the option

can I get a constructive opinion on this calendar spread? buy 1160 put dec 09 theta - .3411 sell 1160 put sept 09 theta - 3.12 thank you

I read $25 to $30 a share- NYT

One thing is for sure, panic will settle in.

I also thought of this, it would be a great idea. Everyone have their own accounts at IB, Tradestation think or swim or whatever and only the office and connection would be shared. I'm also a retail trader not looking to go prop, just a place to trade with other traders would work. You can...
