    Urgent Message From Rennick

    He understands it fine, the issue is he is so weak in character and so desperate for attention that his whole life is centered around his need to feed his fragile ego on the backs of anonymous people around the internet. He will post anything and lie and distract people from the truth as he...

    Profitability of Options Market Making

    I dont know the answers for pure stock trading, there are other rules for the NBBO in stock and they can print stuff outside the nbbo buy a governed amount. As far at IAB goes, no matter where and how you send the order if you're a retail customer you get the NBBO. Now what their smart router...

    Profitability of Options Market Making

    Market making is not about trading direction. Its about trading the order flow for edge and managing the residual risks from the positions you are handed by the market. You don’t get your choice on what series you want to trade in a given issue, you have to make a 2 sided market in all the...

    Profitability of Options Market Making

    10 years ago we had 17 traders on 4 floors making markets. By 2004 we sold out of that operation and we left the floor entirely. Someone hit the answer these days its about technology and its cost. There are very few equity based options which are single listed and open outcry. So that means...

    options watch list with Delta, possible?

    We use "Think Pipes" which is the professional package from TOS and its very easy to set up what you're looking for. They have all the data in TOS too so I cant imagine you would not be able to set it up.
