donnaperrault I haven't looked at the old place in over a year but I think that zman and dgnyt were still trying to hold it together. Good guys - but it got so looney that I couldn't tell who the bad guys were anymore :confused: Good to hear from you and thanks for the many years of...

60% total return - wow - not bad. I sometimes make large percentage gains say 100% or greater on investment - but then I'm risking only a small portion of my account. To make 1% a week average total return on your account is a lofty goal IMHO. BTW, I also trade YM and ES. I wouldn't...

"I would personally shoot for 3% a week. Why not make more???" It's a risk management thing. You take on more risk to go from 1% to 3%. The thread starter stated that it would be a mechinical approach. That implies discipline or a fully automated system. If discipline is used - I'm...

Spin - how could you - we were once engaged - lol. (refers to a very old yahoo thread that you've probably forgotten) donna p. here Sad what happened over there - I miss you and pant and don and all the other old timers - some very smart guys. But it got to be such a waste of time I...

I doubt that stops would work well with options - you'd probably get ripped off. I've never tried using stops with options - never seemed like a good idea - although it would might work well enough with QQQQ and possibly other very liquid penny increment options - still you may run the risk of...

Spin! Yes a SPINDRO answer and one that I've seen many times. Good to see you - er - well in cyber space I mean. Don't forget the calendar has upside risk. Hedge the downside means increasing upside risk. The short stock answer assumed that the calendar was already net long deltas - and...

"Not to forget, that US officially did not enter the war until the Russians have defeated Germans in Battle of Moscow, Battle of Stalingrad and tank battle of Kursk." History is not your forte, eh?

Your point is taken. I'm sure that it will help those unfamiliar with option markets - so thanks for sharing it - and anything that improves liquidity is OK by me.

OK Day - I would think that you probably have seen responses like this in the 40+ pages - but you initially proposed splitting the B/A and said that the MM would take it out to open up his ripoff prices for larger orders. My reponse meant that it could have been another trader or arb that...

OK Day - I get it. I admit that I've only read the 1st and last pages. My first thought was that it was probably another desparate trader who took out the 2 - lot rather than the MM.

"It all depends where you are coming from. To every need, we have answer. Would you like to test your option knowledge against us at this point ?" Sure, I'd be happy to answer your Qs. Options are pretyy simple - don't know why folks have a hard time with it. As far as certain option...

LOL - just saw this thread. Went from 1st page directly to last page - from SPX option order strategies to cheap hookers. Any real traders out there or is it just kids?

Agree with others. Haven't been there for a while, but optionetics website offers plenty of FREE info. I have never bought a course but paid plenty learning to trade. Even great books such as "McMillan on Options" fail to mention the realities of option markets - particularly liquidity...

No the Feds job is to protect the wealthy elite's assets. If they prop up property and financial assets who wins?

I assume that they will refund their salaries and option profits to investors, no?

What kind of plan is there to reward those who have been frugle and responsible? You know - the kind that don't get cable or expensive cars and such; so that they can meet their monthly bills - and save for a rainy day. You know - like our parents and/or grandparents used to do. Remember?

No spit, man. What is he pissed about?

In addition - WELCOME to the wonderful world of IB. They did this before with option DT rules and again with another rule change that I can't even remember. With the option rule change they added DT rules to equity options without even informing clients. Option DT rules affected only...
