They use DDE as far as I'm aware.

That was a lot for ol' Calvin to say! When placed with a bet at a dinner, a lady bet President Coolidge that she could get him to say at least three words. Calvin then replied to the lady, "You lose."

Thank you in advance for answering. 1) Are DITM options controlled by MM's? Does there exist a purely electronic market where I can purchase a DITM option at the price quoted at the ask and be assured a quick fill? 2) Concerning the "6 levels of risk" of an option, what is the sixth...

I disagree 100%. I have programmed in many languages as a hobbyist and Visual Basic 6, when coded neatly, is amazingly fast. The amount of difference in time (if any) that a program I design to scan for arb opps with Visual Basic would be from another language would be insignificant...

Lundy, Life is about realizing today that you are somehow a little better of a person than you were yesterday. We all have problems and quirks, but it is life that allows us so many days to be a little better tomorrow than we are today. Don't take the comments by a lot of people here to...

Critisizing a people's spellling mistakes are as worse then pointing out somebody's not well grammerrr.

I was at Best Buy yesterday just picking up some stuff for myself and the lines were horrible. Looks like the economy isn't so bad off in my area!

Mr. Gordon, Keep away from the information overload. You're going to get SWAMPED with advice from hundreds of people. It is going to take some amazing self-organization on your part to figure out which advice is something that applies to your psych and which advice just won't swing it...

I've been coding, but I had a slight problem (actually more than slight, that's why there is a delay). I won't be on ET for about a week because I'll be super busy. (Can you believe it?!) Please go to this site for Jasper updates. This is Jasper's official home...

That is good information -- thanks! Part of the process for me is to accumulate as much knowledge as possible, then start cracking equations and see if I can observe any sort of inefficiency that I could profit from -- and if I do see one, then I can start this project. I'll need to find...

I am gathering more information on the computer cluster and I have determined that I can build a mini-supercomputer for less than $10,000. Here is the configuration of each of the client machines that I am pondering: Motherboard: ASUS P2PE Intel 845e Chipset ($120) CPU: Intel 3.08ghz...

Today I bought two 256 DIMM modules for my Pentium III machine. It already had 256 Megs. The modules I got were PC133 ram. PC133 ram is NOT backwards compatible for certain chipset types. My computer is only recognizing half of each ram module. So now I only have 512 instead of 768...

So if I put in a simple "stop" order and IB's connection to Globex goes down, my stop will never execute?

Well, you might not want to get into the assessment business for very long. Gordon is just confused, young and wants to get profitable and expend the least amount of effort doing so. At some point, after he loses too much money or he decides to step back and really get serious, then he'll...

Red dots on monks head for a cute puzzle and the reason LTCM "blew up" are two totally different things. When are you going to visit us in our world and stop meandering in your "yoga-hippy-happy" fantasy land?

Great, so now you expose yourself to both a rally tail and a bear run. A naked call isn't going to reduce the risk of your naked put by all that much -- you're getting twice the premium but now you're opening yourself to a bear AND bull run. What happens if I sell a lot of 60 Jan calls on...

Get off Gordon's ass. He's going through the same shit that most of you guys went through. If he wants to cry -- then let him come here and cry. If he wants to post trades, I'd love to see them. This is a trading board, is it not? Aren't we supposed to come here to gripe once in a while...

Good sir! Please, just call me aphie!

The answer is "heart"
