When you generate 3000+ option volume in a security that normally has a couple hundred, they're not going to "overlook" it.

Yeah, it's a massive pain in the ass to have to use my other brokerage account to get this info. I'd love to have the open interest for the options. One of the things I monitor is suspicious options activity that signifies insider trading, and I try to play along with it (Had I known about...

I smoked too much crack and bought 1000 contracts instead of 10, and it happened to move in my favor. Is that plausible? :D

Better yet, you can place a trade against yourself at a odd price, to make it seem more legit.

Never thought those orders actually got filled in AH, I'm going to start placing those trick orders :D

Yes! the market's going to crash so hard that you'll have to PAY to get rid of your securities!

DOWN 10000000 POINTS!

If you prove yourself to be consistently good, they'll give you 5 million BP w/ zero risk capital. The risk capital is just to problem themself against noobies blowing up their accounts.

I don't think there's cancel fees on combination orders. If you want to find out, place one and cancel it, and see. It's not a big deal -- only $1.20 to find out for sure.

Fighter, are you seriously that stupid to believe that IB's going bankrupt after the IPO?

I really don't understand why these insiders buy such massive blocks of options, don't they realize that the FIRST thing the sec looks at is suspicious option activity.

Are you kidding? IB is pioneering penny options, they offer a special penny option quotation system, even for ones not supported by exchanges.

I managed to get an unbelievable fill on my bear put spread. Right after it opened for trading, I got the september 45 puts for .55 then like 20 minutes later, i sold december 40 puts for .80. Pretty much impossible for me to lose now regardless of which way this thing goes.

I don't see the option to add the "open interest" column in the option trader, seems kind of odd since it is a very important indicator. Any way to get it?

you're making 20K / month now. If you renegotiate to the sample terms I specified, you'd make about 25K / month, and you can probably negotiate an even more favorable deal then that if you really want to push. 25K / month.. 300K / year, no reason to change anything with what you're doing.

I'd say negotiate w/ your current firm for a better deal. Get .004 and 90% payout for a start, they'll probably be willing to give it to you since you've already proven yourself. There's no reason to change firms if you're already successful and profitable with one, unless the current firm...

They probably do this intraday because they hate daytraders or something, so fucking them over is on their agenda. There's also a 20% short interest on DJ.. those people got fucked.

Any news that's better then expected is good news. If a company was supposed to lose $1 / share and they report a $0.50 loss, that's a GREAT loss.
