You meant that is the title of a book? I didn't know that...

no, IB's API is horrible and even I can do programming, that's still horrible. The document is missing.

I see, Booktrader is used for speed... That's why I felt so slow clicking this clicking that... I need DOM software such as button Trader and Bracket Trader for doing fast daytrading?

What's the benefit of trading option on FX vs. trading FX itself? Given the same amount of initial fund, which one will give the maximal amount of return? (implicitly assuming maximal leverage on each side?) I am trying to figure out whether I should trade FX or options on FX... or maybe...

That simple? hmm, I even don't know how to define these supports and resistance...

You recommend it to us because it's hard to understand?

For hedging reasons, you normally look at sell options. But this is a huge buy here...

Thanks Mark so much for your detailed and very helpful pointers! It took me a few moments to fully digest your thoughts. What's your definition of market timing? Why is it so hard? It's actually already worth almost nothing. So maybe I should hold onto it, while book a loss already, but in...

Yep, I had a short regret because I should have used a trailing stop for that one! Ouch! But I was no longer regretful at all any more. Thanks for your reminder!

There is a huge buy-in of C Feb. 20 PUT @3.0 today, this afternoon just before market close. A huge spike! Anybody could explain this? Thanks a lot!
