Well now we're getting to the bottom of why you started this thread. In essence you don't believe commission is negotiable because it's too difficult for the broker to calculate LMAO. I hope you don't mind but I've taken the liberty to review some of your earlier posts and I believe the best...

LMAO. Why do you care how they calculate it? It's called software.

Thanks Ryan. Don't forget RR :) Instead of buying drinks just let us know next time you plan on making an adjustment so we can take the other side of the closing trade and buy our own drinks with the winnings :D Just teasing. Bad luck on the timing....though there is still next week. With...

let them worry about that LOL.

Exactly, there's no way to convert consolidated data into a finer granularity. The information is lost. Think of it as one-way compression.

I was more worried about the view count but after some investigation, it appears that it should support up to about 4 billion. Still, if anyone is going to test that limit first, it will be Phil's thread :)

On the contrary, I'm 100% sure there are sheep blindly following your trades LOL. There's not much you can do about it though. Good luck next week. MoMoney.

Does trading success from selling second-hand copies of Options: Perception and Deception on eBay qualify?

Just a few of the many times this has been discussed before: NewbieQ: Retail firm vs Pro Firm Prop vs Retail Prop and retail what is the difference Use ET search to find more relevant threads. Good luck. MoMoney.

I think it's a 10 point spread 360/370. IV_Trader pointed out recently that GOOG is at historic low vols. Not neccessarily a good time to be short premium on this issue. When it moves, it can really move...it's nearly due :eek:

Ah yes, Maverick's flying wrangle. I remember it well. You can be sure you're broker will be happy with you trading all of those legs: 10 legs for a 1 lot flying wrangle :) I'm not sure Maverick himself trades them these days but you can certainly take some of the concepts from the...

That article is 3 years old. There are now 100 parties to the statute: http://www.icc-cpi.int/statesparties.html

You don't explicitly pay management fees for trading SPY. It's already priced in to the ETF.

There is a possible technical solution to this problem that should already be available in the software being used. The "Politics and Religion" forum can be hidden from view and/or locked for all users except when explicitly requested to not be. This can be achieved by various...

FWIW, the site used to have prices. I can't remember but it used to be in the $750 range IIRC. It was a long time ago and memory is fuzzy but I'm sure that's not far off.

IRC or Paltalk might be better than ET chat mechanism if that's what you were considering.

Holding the unhedged long CALLs overnight can't have been part of any trading plan IMO. It was a gamble. If futures sold off heavily overnight a different story would have been told. If it wasn't luck but rather skill to hold onto the naked long CALLs then perhaps there is a better way to...

I probably misinterpreted your post: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1141972#post1141972

LOL. I was laughing and seriously scratching my head at the time as it was an ultra-bullish position. You had a naked long CALLs AND a long ES "hedge". It would have made more sense to hedge your long CALLs whilst you legged into the credit spread with short ES! As it turned out, there was...

Sorry, I wasn't clear, even in my edited version! You're too quick on the response. If your short strike is at say 1340, i'm suggesting you might want to consider hedging early e.g from 1310 perhaps. As the underlying moves towards your short strike, you can feasibly win on both the hedge and...
