    Interactive Brokers with Prorealtime trading

    https://www.prorealtime.com/en/ Not familiar with them -- but I haven't looked beyond TWS is a while. It looks like a professional set-up, but while not having studied the site, one number does jump out at me as concerning: they announce 9.9M trades through the platform in 2019..... 10 trades...

    You write that as if you had no idea what selling short entails, or as if you had no idea how markets -- especially capital markets -- work. o_O

    How to gamble

    "System"?? What? What's a system? Where can I get one? Where can I get one for free? Is it on the web? Where can I find it? Where can I find it for little/no work? How can I make it better? How can I get my $millions tomorrow? Can someone recommend a system to me that reduces the risk of my...

    It's less armageddon as it is fingermageddon, or even knucklemageddon. Plain and simple.

    IRON CONDOR gone bad. Don't know what to do.

    Some thoughts: • your options will not (all) expire worthless: you own the 35 and owe the 36, right? • closing only the 36 will have you paying now *and*hoping* that the market continues to fall further, for your 35. So, do you expect that? Meh. • any equity/related put may be assigned. and...

    Trump/Mnuchin/Kudlow the *Socialists*?!?!?

    TradingView review: "Screw 'em!"

    Since this thread has 're-freshed' after skipping 2019 entirely, I'll state flatly that I remain happily ensconced in a spreadsheet environment, with data/import ease, plainly algebraic coding of any algos/tweaks I care to think up, and fair-to-poor graphics. I continue to think great things are...

    hypothesis driven vs ad hoc

    I have had too many instances of unsupported "reactions to data" being profitable, and likewise, too many instances of neoclassically-grounded trading notions/ideas/theories/rule-based_trades/algos behaving without *any* regard for the data from which they were formed.....:confused: GAT's...

    Here comes the pain

    Good point, Z -- not only does the influenza milieu to which we've become inured kill thousands and thousands more than CoVID-19 every single year, but on top of that, 1/3 to 1/2 of the population is actually *vaccinated* against it! :wtf: Thanks, Z-man. ["Wait. I don't think that is the point...

    Best timeframe for sellings cash-covered puts?

    ATM, it is a monotonic curve concave to the origin. (Like the path of a wad of paper thrown horizontally.) OTM ends *convex* to the origin -- think of the jumps in IV that manifest in way-way OTM strikes. Plotting OTM v ATM looks like a fat knife edge, tilted {left} for sharpening against the...

    Best timeframe for sellings cash-covered puts?

    If you google Option Theta [images], you'll notice the startlingly linear behavior of OTM theta over time. Other than that, I can't make out much more from your question.

    Is there a high low ticker for Interactive Brokers?

    I don't. :( Been too long since I've even reviewed one. (Which means I'm way overdue.:confused:) But to complicate matters, IB took down whole *pages* of past webinars over the past 2-3 years, and/or moved them around and shook them up. DON'T assume that different links go to the same resources...
