Obviously he cant get called on it and its a good bet for him (in the end). But the people on the other side didnt buy just to hold it to expiration and as mentioned theres that little thing called margin. Noone who buys the option now is actually going to hold onto it are they.... Jsut...

I thought that was the difference between intentional and reckless..... 'IF' he sold them based on the information then he would have know the possible harm it could cause. Hence being reckless....

Unfortunately its not something you are going to get fixed in a hurry, this has been a problem for ages. ITs got nothing to do with your API either, if you test your speeds, youll find there is no problem. API execution or manula execution, it doesnt matter, IBs Paper Execution is super...

thanks, is that just because of the volume on elec.?

Right, but because of that would you say that it has no place in any sized portfolio, any diversified strategy?

Now this looks like an interesting conversation for new comers (ie myself) TraderZone. Why is there no edge in Selling options? (Not siding with emini, serious question)

Manin: don't look at fundamentals too much. Mostly just trade on the technicals. The only "fundamental" type stuff I use is seasonal charts, historic spread relations, and of course the carry when talking about grains. Otherwise, I just trade technicals, as I actually came from the realm of...

Thanks guys, all valid points. PRice doesnt always = performance, I was just interested in finding out mroe about the value Optionvue 5 vs Hoadleys, it sounds like though, Hoadleys has a lot more bang for its buck...

A newbie question here, How do you figure out the the ratios for these spreads? Ive been reading about DV01's etc, but is there another way to do it? Dont have access to bloomberg....

Thanks for the reply. I do find this info useful. I currently trade through IB would Hoadleys and IB be a suitable combination?

Thats True, Im just at the beginning of my Options learning curve and plan on investing a fair amount of time (and money if required) into learning them and the software, so Id like to pick a software package that will be easy enough to help me pick up the basics but sophisticated enough that...

Any Hoadleys /OptionVue users out there? I am considering both of these at the moment. Its going to boil down to what can I do on OptionVue that I cant do on Hoadleys??

trader, whats the address for your blog?

Ive traded Ninja with the TT feed through Advantage Futures and had the same problem. Ninja trade history not matching up with actual trade history etc..... Its not unmanageable but as it was said, we shouldnt have to 2nd guess our platform like that. I have heard good things about the...

Definately a must look for newcomers to options. And their courses are now free if you agree to let them pass out your email ad to sponsors..

Nanook, thanks for that list. Are there any optionvue users with comments on the software? I know there are the software comments, but having a comparison makes it much easier.

All you Obama critics are forgetting one small detail. He is walking in to office with historically massive debt thanks to the current lamo in office. Hes got to do something. And 'redistribution of wealth' as it is so labeled has been around for years in many forms. (and yes the republicans...

Theyre all pissed off cause theres a rumour goin round Obama is gonna start taxing all paper trading accounts over 250k as well
