Did he post how much he lost?

Last time he said it will take him two weeks, it took him two days. The guy got balls. Stuck around to answer members' questions like nothing happened. That's some mental stability.

Yeah, but I cannot have it the same Tab it seems. Oh well, not big deal. Thanks for your help.

No, not for me at least. I can only see one. Can you actually create two of them and put the side by side? What's the version of your TWS? I have below.

It looks no more than one "Monitor" window can be created/displayed. I have sub-accounts and would like to be able to see "Portfolio" view for each individually. Currently, I need to select from the drop down box to choose which account to display. I can choose "All", but that's not exactly...

I think I remember someone complaining that they were closing connection if you don’t keep up reading the data. So you may have to create multiple connections. I don’t think they have any limits on that either (many do). Strangely enough, I don’t hear many people recommending them.

You don’t need to pay for level2 for this. You will see all the trades by subscribing to level1 (tapes a, b, c) You only need level2 to see all the orders in the books.

I think he started with 50k. This is his first ever 7 figure year (and month). I remember he was getting excited about having 30k day.

What are you scalping, ES? What does it have to do with the fly?

You need to ask your platform support. TotalView publishes everything.

Let’s start with the fact that they have different physical locations.

Sounds overfitted or with some bias. I wander what @guru has to say about it.

Well, now I got to ask which ones?

You looking at ES, individual stocks, or both?

Given above, I agree with your interpretation. Basically they are willing to buy/sell within 5% of the previous close (in case of a gap)

Below is kind of interesting. Anyone has any thoughts on this? “The second strategy is what I call “Pinning.” Around 80% of the market’s trading volume is pushed around by the institutional-sized investors. They create unique trading opportunities every single Friday. Especially on the bigger...

Just thinking about this, I think the protective leg would be quite expensive and not very effective. The problem with weeklies is that to get good premium you need to be close to current price. As stock moves up, it’s moving farther away from your hedge. I think it’s just easier to pitch to...
