Yeah, you have me well confused :p [EDIT: Re-read your first post. I see what you're looking at now :) Different strategy]

Infamous indeed. Looking to see them report between 9-20th OCT :D

Yes, gamma week should have some good risk/reward short calendar pickings :D I shall be stealing your filtered list of candidates in due course. MoMoney.

I don't think anyone did other than optionsfreak, who I'm sure has now left the building. Perhaps the extreme sarcasm embedded in my "no greeks" cheerleading post was once again too subtle to be noticed at first glance? :D BTW, I'd have to disagree that volatility is a greek but I know what...

Relax, I got your back :)

I am perhaps way off base here but my guess is that he clicks on the bid and ask of the market data line a few times to generate a bunch of prefilled buy and sell order lines (with the default quantity of 1) that are ready to transmit market orders. However, just before he clicks on the T to...

Believe it or not, but some people are too lazy to change the default size settings in TWS and simply opt change the amount on the fly (overtype the 1 with an appropriate number) just before hitting transmit. In addition, depending on the methodology, the lot size might be highly dynamic and...

Depending on your browser software, it may be smart enough to automatically forward you to www if explicit forwarding hasn't already been done. Indeed, you can even leave out the .com if you wish. A simple search algorithm will be used such that the browser will resolve something like this...

When is spot reduction not a fallacy? Just curious Dr.Risk. I thought we had this "handles" thread before? :confused: For cardio, HIIT styles A.M. seem to work well to get low and ultra-low body fat % -> handle reduction. [EDIT: Oh, I see this thread was revived by ES who I thought had...

I wholeheartedly agree with your statements. I couldn't have put it better myself! Finally, someone with a clue on these forums. Where have you been all these months when I needed someone to back up my point of view? All these freaks that are so obsessed with their little greeks. I don't care if...

Doh! The secret edge is out.

Good luck with the journal Jimbo. GOOG likes to dance (jump) ipso facto the efficacy of probability of touching measurements is reduced IMO. MoMoney.

Having been to Cuba I can say that many Cubans that I spoke with suffer from the "grass is greener" syndrome with respect to the United States and other western nations. Although there are not rafts heading from the USA to Cuba LOL, there are many Carribean's that prefer to educate themselves...

Indeed. This is a much discussed topic on the SPX Credit Spread Trader thread. Suggest use ET search for SET under Journals and you should find some posts of interest. Asking how large SET can be doesn't make too much sense without a crystal ball though. However, you may get some...

It's difficult to answer the pros and cons of the strategy without additional context. You have a diagonalized backspread. It will be long a lot of vega. More thoughts on what you forecast for your stock and rationale for looking at this particular trade might encourage others to lend...

Not sure if anyone answered your question but have a look at www.ivolatility.com MoMoney.

Thanks for that! Assume was for informational purposes only. Being a writer for Optionetics does not neccesarily lend credibility to his earlier published texts if that was the intention though. Indeed, some on ET would argue that an association with Optionetics implies the exact opposite...

That is a "book" that is often given away free by many websites. It's mainly a vehicle for promoting the Essex Trading Company software. At about 50 pages long, large print and small form factor, it contains nothing revolutionary and also makes some assertions that are highly debatable. As...

Different parts (islands) in Indonesia are dominated by different religions. However, the vast majority are Muslim. Indeed, Indonesia has the world's largest Muslim population. IIRC Israeli's are not permitted visas to enter Indonesia so yes, officially they are not fan's of Israel! It's only...

You're right, there probably is a closed-form solution, I'm rusty on this topic after becoming dependent on other people's software...or...just get a bigger CPU and run many iterations of your Monte Carlo simulation! :) Point is, applying false levels of scientific accuracy to what is an...
