Didn't want to start a war. Maybe I'll just go with something more liquid and roll it.

Come on guys. The OP said he wasn't quitting his job.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. Looking to lever up a little and the implied financing rate is pretty attractive on the LEAPS.

Unless the loan is unusually large, they'll just average your last two years tax returns and that's your income. No big deal. I'm speaking about mortgages. For most other consumer credit, they rarely verify income anyway and do it based on credit history. For landlords, the tax returns will...

My advice, find a way to get the appropriate leverage you need to do it in the underlying rather than the options. The spreads on the options are going to be a huge deal breaker. Also, if you haven't already, make sure that your universe includes delisted stocks. If not, your backtest results...

Any tricks to buying DITM leaps anywhere close to mid? Looking at 2 year BRK/B 60 calls, but the spread is $2 wide. Atticus, I'm at your mercy.

You'd have to be crazy to leave a job on a desk earning 300k GBP a year to only make 20% on 500k USD. Or am I misreading your post and you're going to trade your account in addition to the bank job?

that includes the commission I think. look in the "Trades" blotter to see your actual transaction prices.

It will say something like "Margin at 15%" in the Account window.

The 15% is not going to happen unless you're running a very diversified portfolio. You're going to be getting effectively 3:1 if you've only got a handful of stocks. No relief for long/short single stocks. They call it a surcharge for concentrated portfolios. The dividing line between...

Natenberg, Cottle?

Changing the CPU cores/displays/ram breaks the license keys. Full retail versions of OS just re-authorize. But (cheap) oem xp licenses are locked to hardware and only authorize once

Vmware Fusion for Mac. Apparently works with Win 7/8. I'm happy with XP but the VM keeps breaking the OEM windows licensing whenever I change something, so I'm shopping for a full retail OS pkg.

WinstonTj, would you make the same recommendation if the proposed OS is going to be running *inside* a VM? Host is OSX running VMware.

What don't you understand about it?

If you're choosing by OS first the decision's going to be easy for a lot of people.

Satellite latency is even higher. A round-trip to outer space is kind of far.

Enter your orders through Excel DDE and set your risk % that way? Seriously, if you need someone to enforce this, you probably shouldn't be trading.

Off topic, but what package would be the most appropriate for a non-programmer to use?

You should have gotten the opening print if you had a valid OPG order and routed to NYSE. Everyone gets the same price at the opening auction. Now, whether your trade is large enough to affect the opening auction is a different issue. Go look at your confirm and see where the order...
