    Selling short straddles is like printing free money convince me I'm wrong

    So you close at possibly huge loss? I have been playing around with selling covered straddles (most commonly referred to covered call plus short put). I find that this strategy is only “worth” doing on high volatility stocks which can really hurt you. So back to playing it small for premium...

    When to route order to an exchange that does not have NBBO?

    High-speed trading firm is going to war with the SEC
