Hey Raver, How often does the application.ontime function poll the system clock? I've never heard of that method before.... just the used the windows API or checking the value against the =now() function in the OnCalculate event. Also, FWIW I've always used...

umm, so I'll bite cuz I'm dumb and uneducated.... How is "Mozart" spelled wrong? - The New Guy Whoops, I see you corrected it for him in your post. The incorrect use of quotes threw me off.... :D

Do you use ADX, DMI +/-?

Thanks!

gonna send an email shortly....

haha that's funny, that's why I was looking at the ebay one's at one point.... never thought to get a real one however, that's great! Thanks, - The New Guy

depends on a lot of things. If the spreadsheet updates fairly frequently you can put some VBA code in the .calculate subroutine that checks the value against the time (either in a cell with =now() or against the windows API and system clock) and then copy it to another cell when you like...

What's the point?

Are you buying a specific stock, or just any stock? You can buy old certificates off of ebay and the like that are kinda cool. Old rail companies and such.... not sure if that will do for you, however. Thanks, - The New Guy...

Yes, I saw that one, thanks. It looks great and it's very generous of you to share your techniques with the rest of us, thanks and good luck to your journey! - The New Guy

Yes on both accounts. How come? Thanks, - The New Guy

I don't own that one, but I do have "trade your way to financial freedom" or whatever it's called. I didn't find it that great, however, and found most of the ideas to be very, very generic. I guess I was looking for some more personal examples, hopefully from some successful traders. I...

Hey, great link, thanks! Double the karma for you! - The New Guy

Well, it's almost the start of a new year, and it seems like a good time to formalize my trading plan and turn a hobby into a business. Would anybody care to share their trading plans as a template (removing all secrets, prop info, the holy grail et al) for the rest of us to learn from...

Wow, I thought I might jinx the ENER trade by commenting on it earlier. So far, so good! Hope you're still in it! - The New Guy

I'm very new to stats (as well as options), but I thought the area under the curve just represented %100 of the sample size. I don't really follow how that could increase or decrease. Err, scratch that, I get it now. It represents vol, and can increase in range along the x axis.

ahhhhhh..... i wish you could have seen the size of the lightbulb that just went off over my head. Thanks! - The New Guy

So then which assumption is wrong: 1. An increase in iv of ITM's means there's a greater chance of them expiring OTM. 2. An ITM call with a higher chance of expiring OTM is worth less than a similar ITM call with smaller chance of expiring OTM. Thanks, - The New Guy EDIT: or am...

OK, so back to my original question which I didn't word well and used the wrong terminology for. Is it safe to assume that ITM premiums decrease as spot vol increases (assuming they are deep enough ITM that they don't become ATM if the spot price rises as vol increases). And given the...

I get everything about that except the first statement. I think I'm missing something obvious because you seem to imply that understanding that the curve/skew increases when spot vol increases (broadening distrobution) should explain to me why ITM call premiums don't increase at the same time...
