If you are day trading options, or lets say your time frame is to hold for max only a few days. (so few mins to few days) Which is the best strike prices/time frame to use? This question is for stocks btw. Should we trade slightly out of the money? e.g AAPL is trading at $150, we use the $155...

Markets are heading back to all time highs! Nasdaq 15% off all time highs, Japan the same. Consider such high inflation, war, Covid still in the background, major goods shortages around the world. What could possibly be taking us back to all time highs. I can not give you one reason why we...

Humour me please, as this may sound like a silly question for some of you. But I still want to here your answers. I would day trade ITM options because? I would not trade ITM options because? I would day trade OTM options because? I would not trade OTM options because? Thank you for your...

Looking at the picture below: https://gyazo.com/179f748bfbe063e128fd4644150c83a7 Lets take the 69 calls. THETA is saying -0.58, so this means 58 cents will be taken away from the current strike price right, if the stock did not move for the rest of the day? If true when does this get taken...

So when you say "best markets to day trade" . Could you go into detail please. Also which Asian markets are you referring to, Japan, China etc etc? Broker wise would you say IB is ok for Asian markets? Thank you

Interesting and ty for your reply. When you say rules etc, I see on IB I can trade Japanese stocks. So what rules and regs do you mean? Day trading Japanese stocks day to day, is there much difference in your view vs US stocks?

They do, but I just want to know the answer to the question from some here.

If so could you please list the main differences (pros and cons) You can trade these markets via IB in the UK and the US, so it would be nice to know if and how any of you do.

yes I have some how fixed that, but can't tell you how lol. I am trying out E Signal now for one month. Costing me just under $300

How did you figure it out? I tried many things but did not find a fix. As I said support themselves could not find a fix

WOW, my hero. How can I speak to IB support and go through to IB senior support and they do not know this and you do, lol That's so bad from them. Thank you very much. I just noticed as you said, with some it does not work, hopefully with most it does. Thank you again

yes totally, pretty shocked you can't just drag them. Some times it's fine, but others as you just said it's not. Again the year is 2021, you think we would have both options!

I do not agree with that, in this case. Trade ideas and E Signal both have this yes you are correct, that also works that route. thank you. Another issue I would not mind running past you is: Below is a screen shot of my alert window on IB...

Thank you for your help. I finally found out why we were both on different pages. The hot key you suggested and I had already tried only works in the watch list, not the direct order ticket. So my problem still stands if I do it via the order ticket. But if I go via the watch list route then...

Just to add to this silly comment which was aimed at me. I am a former high stakes poker pro, in which 98% of people that try and beat HS poker fail. I did not! So your comments and what you implied does not count for me!

before you slated me for being clueless I did that already! It does not work! It is an IB issue not trade ideas. If you read what I wrote....I said I use trade ideas to scan for alerts....so again, I get my alerts from trade-ideas. Once the stock I got alerted to pops up I can link...

You say all of this, yet when I type the ticker symbol in the only option I have from there is to click enter! If click shift/enter, which was obvious and I tried before I came here it does not work! As I have said many times I ALWAYS have to click enter then choose stocks, which is a real...

Pressing shift enter as I said is no different to me clicking STOCKS. Same thing and leaves me with the same issues I am doing 2 processes vs one!

Let me walk you through the process.... I use trade ideas for alerts. Alert pops up, I now go to my order entry ticket box. I type in the ticker symbol (only way this can be done right? After I get the alert) Then that box pops up, the one I gave screen shots for. So how does shift/enter fix...

That does not make sense. The process is I write the ticker sym in, then the options in my picture pop up. I DO NOT want those options. I want it to select stocks always at all times, it does not so I have to click stocks. Doing what you said is the same thing as what I am doing. Thank you...
