Also, I would be willing to purchase a similar program that someone has already constructed.

I am looking for someone to write a program for the IB TWS that will read the delta of my equity options position, and enter orders for the underlying stock when that delta reaches a user defined level. For example: Using an option pricing model, it is determined that when IBM trades at 101...

They're scheduled to present at the JPM healthcare conf. on Wed. Anyone know if they will discuss the trial results for their make-or=break drug? http://yahoo.reuters.com/news/articlehybrid.aspx?storyID=urn:newsml:reuters.com:20070105:MTFH43715_2007-01-05_16-30-19_L05670458&type=comktNews&rpc=44

hsi? Heng Seng Index? Could you please elaborate? Thanks

How about any retail platforms that allow you to automatically "envelope" the market (aka work bids and offers above and below the prevailing mkt price)?

You are correct VolPimp. Ever since that whole affair with Beaks and the crop report, Winthorp and I have been trading stocks retail at one of the major daytrading firms. You can PM me if you would like to know which one. It's time for me to make a change to a delta neutral trading style...

Can anyone recommend a software package that will automatically send orders in the underlying stock when my options position delta reaches a pre-determined level?

Which firms in the US have NYFIX?

I think 212-433-7000, but it's been atleast a couple years. Eddie used to be very helpful.

Which broker gives you shows on the CBOE? I would try Spear Leeds on the AMEX.

Mkt Mkr- Thanks again for your insight. To follow up on the pts. that you made: 1. How well capitalized are the large independent locals? 2. How low are their commissions? 3. What range of income can they expect to make?

Mkt Mkr- A few questions about the options biz if you don't mind: 1. Are there any independent mkt mkrs left or is the biz dominated by the large trading firms like Susquehana and Timber Hill? 2. How much cash do you have to put up and how much experience is necessary for a JBO deal...

guru- Secialists definitely need to show a minimum size of 1000 when using reserve size, and I'm almost positive the same rule applies to floor brokers.

Bitstream- Which symbols are you referring to?

It's still too early for me to be sure, but I don't think it's an improvement. I like to focus on whichever stocks are trading actively for the day based on news. I wouldn't say it's as bad as the Nasdaq, but the increased speed of the moves is making it very difficult to effectively read the...

I'm exploring the economics of doing just that. One of the first things I want to look at is software and what it costs.

Can anyone recommend a good software platform for dynamically quoting and executing multiple option series on multiple unerlying products simultaneously? Thanks

Does anyone know of a squawk box service for any of the CBOT Ag pits?

Specialists aren't going to be able to provide as much liquidity as they used to because they now run the risk of getting run over by sweep orders.

I wouldn't say quite as ridiculous as the Nasdaq yet, but erratic enough that I haven't made any money since August. I don't even understand how a black box could sort out the noise on these stocks anymore.
