WOW-- you must be quite the perfect guy to be able to judge someone so harshly from a couple of missives on an ET.com message board-- ! You are IMHO just what ET.com doesn't need more of ---- another rude message board "goon" with little or no substance to support his views. No offense sport but...

hey - speak for yourself "Jack Sparrow" !! (and how long have you been a member here - and already you're being a rude and challenging someone else's character?) YOU --- are the one who is raising the ante- and starting a fight and attacking another member. Are you some newbie punk or just...

bought 5 more COP Jan 57.50c @ 1.80 - that is I changed my order and lowered size- let's see if my slight impatience in not holding out for my price bites me- then again my plan was to buy when COP was pinned to 57.50 or so - and in that regard it was a great call in waiting for 57.50 before...

sounds right-- makes sense-- so guess I am the sucker at the table IF that is true. IF it is true- then sorry for my comments- and guess I'm the "genius" ! :D :D

thanks -very much ! Dumb! interesting that no one at IB mentioned it when I was moaning. this morning? Go figure. Guess they figured I should have known it - but it would have been nice if someone @ IB had said you could place orders at any price- whle I was looking into the VLO quote...

AAPL day order buying 7 AAPL Jan 80c - $1.05 - may be a sucker bet like Hard 8 - but we will see. In my view AAPL may have topped (= famous last words of traders since AAPL 50s who have traded against the trend) IF filled will add on 5 more - looking to bear spread with 70 or 75...

order to by 15 COP Jan 62.50c @ .20 (hey- we can dream can't we) current b/a = 40/45

IMCL = 34.2 (+2) knew it was going near 35- and what better day to mark it up than on triple witch. ICe :cool: sold Feb 35c @ 2.20/long Jan 35c @ 1.20- from earlier/bought Feb 30c @ 5.30/sold Jan 30c at 4.15/sold Feb 30p @ 1.60 (earlier this week) 10 each strike plan is to...

+ 5 COP 57.50c @ 1.90 - 5 COP Jan 60c @ 87.50 order workng to buy 10 more @ 1.65

if IB has serious quote issues on an underlying - how can you place orders on that underlying.... DUH! Now-- do you "maybe" get it now? :D no offense - genius---- good trading. p.s. will review your suggestion in case I am missing something here- in other accounts at other brokers...

well- if its not broken - DON'T fix it. I sold the Dec 110P on VLO - and got hammered - didn't analyze the pin correctly and got too cute -- but the good news was my idea to buy the same quantity Jan 55p (i.e. calendar) and of course these went up - albeit slightly less. However in...

stock just broke 58 as anticipated- amazing its holding up so well with oil stocks down for epxiry pinning- but it already had it's triple witch action . orders to buy Jan06 57.50c 5 @ 1.85 10 @ 1.75 and will buy 10 more at 1.55 may tweak it if COP picks up downside mo - still...

genius read what you said! what does a quote "provider" have to do with closing options at IB. Do you even have an IB account- or do you just have nothing to do today but make a smart-arse comment. I have quotes up the arse on 4 monitors-- all the quotes I want or could ever need. :eek...

r/arb- how are you doing? great idea for sure- and if I was with a Vtrader or the like- where you didn't have to live with U S margin rules- and with sub-optimal margining -- then funds would not be an issue. But if this happens at your typical retail firm whre they apply absurd US margin...

OK finally at 9:48 Chicago time- 1 1-2 hours after open- IB has corrected ths issue on VLO- but meanwhile the stock is off its opening high high-- when I would have been able to exit my front month 55p for maybe 40-50 cents less - and then roll into a lower Jan strike. I hate to bad mouth...

I am getting hurt by this screw up on the part of my agent/broker IB - as I have long Jan 55 puts that I WANT TO CLOSE- and short Dec 55p that I want to close - but can't ! I also want to sell more Jan 50 or 55c calls - but CANT -- since I am long Jan 60c (Jan 120c pre split ) - but I can't ...

I just got on the line with a rep. and he says the quotes are incorrect -- and they are still "working on them" . Then when I asked him to get me quotes so I could close a position he couldn't even pull up a quote on a Jan 55 put. as as usual -- he was very disrespectful - like I shouldn't...

D.F. I am still showing $36 bid for the VLO Jan 55 calls and no quotes for VLO XK or vlo MK! I will log off and on. also in case you or anyone is interested - I have now been holding for at least 10+ minutes for your trade desk - to have them close front puts and maybe sell my January...
