Hi everybody! I've got the next question. Currently I use thinkorswim (papertrading though) plus I use IB TWS' market screeners. Thinkorswim is too expensive and I'd like to change it. What I need is their options issues (like I can see their delta,gamma etc.) and it's good I can see my...

Hi! Does anyone know anything about such thing? What's their goal? Does it make any sence to enter such a company in order to get some experience in trading? Or it's just time wasting? Have you heard anything about World Capital Investments? http://www.world-cap.net Thanks

Hi everybody! I'm thinking of entering special trader (or investments) training courses. But don't know where to start from. Are there any from big companies like Merrill or Goldman or whatever? I just want to develop myself further and to know how the system functions from the inside, but...

And the other question is why sometimes Bid equals to Ask? Thanks in advance

"Its called crossed market when someone is bidding higher than the inside offer or viceversa." Why? What's the purpose of bidding higher than the offer? "None of the posts mentions a financial instrument. What market are we talking about?" I'm talking about stocks. "None of the posts...

Hi everybody! Can anyone explain to me why sometimes Bid becomes grater than Ask? How it could happen? I can see that it T&S screen. Thanks

Hi everybody, today all the indexes (I mean SP,Dow and NQ) surged sharply after FOMC meeting. But as we now, when the rate goes higher, stock prices go lower. Where am I wrong? Or is it really because of "signal the central bank may pause after its latest interest-rate increase"? The other...

atozcom, many thanks. It works. Wonder how could I miss this by myself.

Thanks for your help. When I right-click on blue arrow, I have only 2 positions to choose: "Symbol lookup" and "Link to". I have no positions.

Hi everybody, I'm trying to open a demo with TOS. I've used it before (also as demo) and have had 100000 on my account. But now there is no money so I can't make virtual trades. How could I help it? Thanks

Guys, could you advise some good demo account (options+stocks)? Preferably real-time. I've been trying to register on Optionsxpress, but they need my documents... to open even a demo account, and I live outside so that sucks for me. IB demo is limited and data id delayed there. Thanks

Is it possible to see greeks in this program before entering the trade? Is there another way to see greeks real-time? Thanks

Gotcha. Many thanks

Thanks, OPRA code works fine, but where could I find option chain? I see only thinkSPREAD and SPREAD hacker. And it shows only spreads there, no single options.

Could I use TOS to watch historical charts on options? I just couldn't find it, I see only charts on stocks. Thanks

Thanks DJR, your explanation is very simple and useful. I've found Natenberg so starting reading. By the way, which program would you recommend? And more, is there any way to see historical data on options (with greeks, IV, price etc.)?

Thanks DJR. Newb's like me will need your help for sure :). I meant nothing specific. I just see that options with different strikes (even close ones) change differently. And thought before they were highly correlated.

Thanks everybody for reply. I will do research that's for sure. But before getting deeper it is interestnig to have some general idea and it's very interesting and useful what I've learned on this forum. "...It is so damn frustrating to see all these newbs lured in by this so-called...

Can anyone explain how do prices change in a spread? For example, we've bought a call for $2 and sold one for $0.50. If price move up lets say our bougth call grows to $2,50 but the sold one should also change to $1. So the difference is still $1,50. And when we close our spread we have nothing...

Damn, sometimes you wonder why don't you see simple things.. I was just thinking the wrong way. Thanks Vhehn. But another question arises: do puts and calls have the same price? are these strategies still equal, if puts and calls have different prices?
