Anyone heard from e-trade? Just sent question to cust.service.

only wish stuck @ 39 :(

I presume most traders will trade within a year incurring ST gain. Just glanced this over this morning, corp tax rate cut from 35->20% and some middle class individual earner has also their taxes cut. Any word from ST gain? I will update if i found anything. Senate passes $1.4T tax cut bill...

Thanks, this is the most comprehensive one, will take me some time to digest. I just briefly looked at etrade api, looks pretty limited. I mostly do in python, c and rest-api is new so there are some crash course involved. Thx!

will look into IB tools.

Yes, those are the inputs that black-scholes equations needs to calculate to determine the greeks. Those minions has no critical thinking skills can not fixate the attention, instead running around like a chicken. Input to equation: S0 = underlying price ($$$ per share) X = strike price ($$$...

i already in the original post for few examples, did you read through?? "...graph of greeks using varying number of strikes at current time. graph of greeks using varying number of expiration date etc.,..." Something I can use to visualize data and make informed decision when trading.

I do it lot of time. Yes you are exposed to an imminent risk but i normally try to be carried on momentum that is just starting to build up and once it gets high enough buy an insurance. Not to say it is risk-free but where is risk-free and high-return trades? I dont think it is anywhere.

Yes agree, I need to gather data and see pattern on large amount of data gathering. I am thinking to use a etrade API programming interface to see if it possible to collect various statistics over the period of time to drive conclusion. The volatility trading book had a great deal of information...

ok, finally got a time to read indeed the IV is a big component in the option price and it does go down big time after earning. Did some observation too. So the straddle strategy has not been working great for me but at least did not lose. I am contemplating about buying straddle several days...

holy crap, the roku stock his climbed so high there is no option at the strike price at the current stock level!

My trading fund is approaching 100k and might add another 200k if I sell my house and start trading with 300k. My understanding is for single person, the fdic insurance for normal checking bank is 250k. I am not sure same FDIC insurance covers brokerage account? Or not or anything different...
