yeah, just a little! Must be frustrating for guys like him to have to deal with our severly limited understanding of such complex issues.

Gee, now I find this out? Boy did I (and a lot of others) waste a lot of time. Where was this guy when I could have used this insightful knowledge while we were actually trying to put these trades on every single day for years on the CBOE??? Sometimes we even did. I guess I should give back the...

This is really such a sad situation. But I don't think that "preemptive" strikes will do much. At least not as far as the Palestinian situation. The Palestinians want a "right of return" which will never happen. They left Israel. No one threw them out. Now they want to come back and take what...

Marc, you are a moron! Everyone knows it will be on Valentines Day of '05. I can' t believe you can be off by over 2 full months!!!! See you tomorrow, fool! And didn't I tell you to stay clear of ET? :) R

By FAR my worst days were when I tried to flip and get even. I would go so far as to say that there were a few days that significantly affected my entire years. Just last July (2001) I came in all long overnight. Pretty heavy. Gapped down against me. Waited for a bounce. Never came, so I just...

Perhaps I am just misinterpreting what is being discussed here. Are you guys talking about having charts available to you after the markets are closed? Or are you talking about actually charting pre and post market trades? If the later, then I really don't see any value (other than globex)...

OK, I guess I stand corrected. I just meant that some vendors just formatted their symbols differently. I did not mean the basic symbol was different. I am not sure we disagree about that. I guess I just did not make myself clear. The qualifier for Globex in the system I use just requires...

What you would like, and what is realistic may not be possible. Remember that a brokerage is a business. They need to be profitable. You can't expect to get the best of everything for the lowest price. I would rather pay a little more in commissions (if I were trading as a customer) and get...

Sweet MS!! Let me know if you breed Mookie. Put me down for the pick of the litter. (should have tried this with a child instead of taking the hand I was dealt) :) RS

quote services use different symbols for underlying, but the months (current year) are uniform for s&p and other indices. March= H June = M Sept.= U Dec = Z

I wish I could give you a simple answer. I think "trial and error" is about as best as I can give. Of course I realize this can be an expensive way to learn, so if you can just paper trade maybe that will work. The problem with paper trading is it just doesn't give a real picture because you...

Just a guess, but I would think acting as an agent or principle in trades, as well as proprietary trading. Market making and specialist activities as well. And clearing..

Sorry Jimmy....I get confused sometimes because they keep me sedated so I won't spill these beans. Gotta go. I hear loud knocking at my door now:eek:

The program traders are mostly former SEALs and ATF agents from the time of the Nixon administration. They are definitely involved in a conspiracy. While we are sleeping they are plotting. While we are looking towards Wall Street, they are hiding and trading from their high mountain retreats...

tony I am sure you have stated somewhere (or someone did) what you are using to capture your charts....i have tried snagit, but they don't look as good as yours. or maybe i just don't know how to use it properly. Thanks, RS7 PS...just keep on plugging. your timing will get better for sure.

They win

This is exactly right. Additionally, now there is a continuing education requirement....which is very easy, but it has to be kept up to date. . I don't remember anything about ECN's on the 7 but now the series 55 is required to trade OTC. And it covers ECN's and a whole lot of stuff that...

yep, got addicted to this thing for sure. Hasn't hurt though. Better than playing gin which is what I had been doing during the down times. This I can do and trade simultaneously. Not so with gin.

I agree. But the person asking for a system asked about blackjack only if they did not have to count cards. So without being aware if the deck is rich or thin, all he can really do is just play basic strategy. I was only trying to address his question, not tell him that he did not have better...

Don, someone asked about this and my response was the pretty much the same as yours, plus I mentioned dividends are factored in. The person asked why the fair value premium seemed lower lately. In my explanation, I got into the hard prices of the underlying securities being lower, and so the...
