Hi i searched everywhere on cme but cannot find where you can actually get the SOQ number. All the webpages i found explains the method used to determine the SOQ, but none of them tells you where to go to actually find the SOQ for es mini sp500 futures. It's 5PM after market now, the number...

thanks, do you know how i can find out what this is?

yeah just figured it out it stops trading at 8:30 AM CST. I got a nice lecture from the IB cs about knowing what you are trading etc etc.. :P does anyone know how does the assignment process works in IB, so far i still see the option contract as open positions in my account with a static bid...

Hmm...i decided to leave my covered call es mini mar 785C contract open until last day. So today i go and try to close it in IB by initiating a buy order. However it says "Contract not supported"? i thought today's the last trading day, must be missing something. I can still see the...

yes lets get all worked up over 150mil, when the company has 200+ billion of taxpayer money(probably lost a huge chunk of it already) and reported 60 billion loss last quarter. bunch of fucking lemmings.

thanks guys!

ok i guess the question is: 1) You have 7k loss carry over from last year 2) You made 7k profit this year. What will your total taxable capital gain be this year? A) 0 (7k loss from last year evens out 7k gain from this year) B) 4K taxable gain (Even though you have 7k carryover...

if say i lost 10k last year, wrote off 3k as tax deduction, with 7k loss left. this year i made 7k profit. Will the 7k from last year fully carry over to this year and even things out? Or will i be only able to deduct the max 3k and need to pay tax on the remaining 4k (7-3)? thanks

rolled march covered 5C to april 7.5C, used some premium to buy 1.5x position april 2.5P. I knew i should fucking closed the march 5C when it was at 0.05. Got lazy and decided to let it expire and not pay commission. oh well, at least made good money on the underlying.

OP probably was confused and meant selling 20contracts for 2000 shares, not 2000 contracts. But was too embarrassed to admit his mistake/understanding. Every few months there's a thread about naked short selling with the same discussion from the same people. I guess this is it for March...

5 for the doubledown is definitely exaggerated on my part. But if you keep the strangle in such narrow range around atm, you will have a much higher premium to pay, in addition it is much more likely for the qqqq to hit the stop loss. I guess it depends on your timeframe and style, if you...

so if i understand this correctly, using numbers, some are assumed, your plan is as follows: -qqqq at 30 -trade size:100 -bet every: 5 (based on the qqqq range) -max: 15-45 (30-5*3bets, 30+5*3) - buy 8x otm(15P,45C) strangle, adjust to remove garbage otm contracts -> buy 8x...

this is option expiration, tomorrow is whipsaw wed, what's the point of discussing market direction this week? (yes bias currently is on the downside with a 6 day ~100pt rally, and heading towards falling 50 sma at 800, but who cares) Dont have the risk tolerance anymore to do anything but...

Hi dmo, to answer your question, i think an example is best. Lets say on friday, after 2 major bounce to 750 and with options expiration next week, i feel the market will move. So i want to go long an ATM straddle on the es. Now i look at the es may 750 call/put. as i am long vega, IV...

Hi, think i have asked this questions before but never received a good answer. Does anyone know how get a historical IV chart(or list) for the es mini options on IB? In the IB options page, you can view the current IV calculated in real time, all i want is a way to view what this IV is 1...

watch the last clip around 4:25. When jon apologized, cramer had a big smile, then it slowly faded as he actually heard what jon was saying. That was the only real expression i have seen of cramer, pure classic.

why you losers care so much about what other people drive or have. Maybe they like cars, maybe it makes them happy. Nothing wrong with that. i drive a toyota because cars are just a tool to me, but i spend 10k a year on my reef tank, because fishtank makes me happy. And if one cannot...

25% decline is excellent, you would expect much more especially for a luxury vehicle considering the people who got hurt the most are the mid-top tier guys - aka wallstreet. Was there any data that break down the sales percentile by country?

For someone like me who lives conservatively, yet making good money doing a 9/5 job while paying high taxes and get zero bailout. Now i am basically bailing out this clueless idiot with a 800k house. Add insult to injury, she claims she does not need help but "just to get the government to lower...

No you are an idiot, he's hosting a comedy show, of course he's going to take things out of context to make it funny. Put down the crackpipe. Anyway i disagree with jon on rick's comment too, we should not have a blanket bailout of those homeowners. It's wrong on so many different levels.
