You might have it for daytrading. I don't think it is "impossible" but I also don't think that if one can't daytrade, that he should give up "trading."

That's a great question!! I have no idea -- but who am I to argue with ebay people. Buy, post, sell, ship. Remember the old adage that there is always a greater fool out there? I guess ebay reaches out to most of them!

And where do you draw the line? Did you go into this gig with guns blazing and kicking ass?

Gordon, Where do I begin? I am 26 years old -- young like yourself. We have talked lots of times on AOL (I'm always here to chat with, btw). We are both ambitious and we both want to see the world and get plenty of cash in the process (who doesn't?) I'll say this much -- trading ES...

Boo hoo hoo -- I'm a social retard with a small dick that never gets laid and have to compensate by posting stupid ass insults on a board frequented by people much more intelligent and ambitious than me. Boo hoo hoo.

True Story: My friend and I browse the local penny saver which is a local magazine for people trying to get rid of shit. Well, we'll take the free stuff and cheap stuff occasionally and then buy it and clean it up (make it look pretty) and put it on ebay. We easily make 50-100% on most...

But the entire reason why you pay for volatility for an option is because a higher volatility gives a greater chance of extreme movements -- but nothing can go below $0. The only options that would show a very high premium would be the calls, because the stock could go as high as it wanted...

My highest ranking was around 1600 -- I played a lot as a kid, but I'm probably a lot worse now since I never really play. I believe GM starts around 2100?

Excuse my lack of knowledge on this, but if stock XYZ is trading at $100 and suddenly it goes down to $1 and then up to $5,000 and then all around, how could the price of a put option ever increase more than what could be gained between the strike of that option and the stock going to zero? A...

I meant 365 .. my bad ... I'll look that over ... It must be how I arranged the groupings ... thanks!

I am having some trouble making things add up. Here is what I have so far (using QQQ as the example): Let's say QQQ has a current implied volatility of 28. The strike price is $20.00 for a call and the stock is presently $30.18. The risk-free interest rate is 1.5%. The time until...

They're currently teaching us in school that stock price movements follow a Markov process -- where the next movement is an independent process free of any movement that was made prior. In some ways, I'd have to agree -- in other ways, I'd have to disagree. As far as second to second...

Babak, With idiots like Jesse J. running around, is it possible to come up with a system where other users can vote on the worthiness of other users' posted content? Perhaps like a 0-5 star rating? That way, we could have an option to filter all posters with less than X stars (we select...

So 9/10 options that are worth something are disregarded by people who own them? Shit, we should be so lucky!!!

How are you going to practice making money from a random data generator??

Forget the market for a week. What you need is to relax, have a few drinks with me and then let me come over afterwards to show you some "new tricks."

I thought you were supposed to hedge the gamma in order to make money in options. Isn't gamma the key to options profitability? The "volatility smile" and the convex gamma line?

Well that is all well and true (and I struggle with these type of thoughts on a routine basis) but the only conclusion that I can come up with is that we observe social protocol (just like animals) and there are some social protocols that are just not allowed to be broken. I don't have a...

I'd like to propose a chat session within the near-future and invite active traders along with some developers. The purpose of the chat meeting will be to exchange ideas and have the developers ask the traders precisely what they would like to see as far as enhancements and additions to the...

Def, Is it possible to allow traders who want to monitor 200+ to do so provided that they pay a monthly fee?
