Just in case it matters, your put-side exposure is $30; your call-side is $20.

Ehhhhh, NDX is the NASDAQ100 future contract, which right now is smack between your short and long. Hope you're okay on that'un!

Okay, so, yesterday, as the market was plunking (and vol was popping) I sold the second of Nov15/16 calendars at 2535, 2540, and 2545, for $1.00 I saw them approaching $2.00 over the course of the day... You can see the MIDs of the ATMs topping $2.50 This morning, the ATM MIDs are...

Three pieces of advice for you: 1) NO forex. RUN away. 2) "Money management" -- code for capital preservation. DO it. 3) Exponential thinking: humans have it over other animals in that we can draw lines -- 'think logically' -- but we forget that most of what we observe day-to-day is only...

Just checked with a buddy who's running the venerable/vaunted 949.3d, and his TRIN is also screwed, so it's not 963.3k, and it won't be fixed by my searching the interwebs for 963.3j. COME ON, IB.

Dodged that bullet -- the lighting and the head gaskets improved dramatically from '99-00, and when I had an issue that was going to run 'big bucks' to address, I swapped in a late model JDM (Japanese Domestic Market -- 30k-40k miles, plentiful and cheap) engine entirely. Sweet! But that reminds...

A second thought: Trading is a lot like competitive running -- the moment you slack off to "rest," the rest of the world is (training, researching, teaching, reviewing, growing, challenging...), and may thereby be leaving you behind. The *moment* you're resting, your competition won't be...

"Nooo-oooooo!" Aw, mannnnn. Subys are awesome. (As long as you don't expose the paint to .... rain, snow, sunlight, wind, dust, car doors, heavy leaves, dark matter...) (As long as you can see in the dark.... since you will quickly end up with a singular headlight as the only point of...

:rolleyes: A canary makes a poor miner. :cool:

OMG. Hilarious. This needs to be a Youtube video. For me, though -- it's almost in the other direction: "trading" for umpteen million hours a day, 5-7 days a week, and then, starting in on Subaru brakes (calipers, rotors, pads, rusted wheel studs, all the way 'round) Boiler -- another winter...

......... mutter mutter mutter...... :banghead: (I appreciate the response, but "in a perfect world" what I pay/paid IB for, would be received, right?) ......... mutter mutter mutter...... :cool:

It SHOULD show 5 minute candles. but since Monday's open, it only shows the current candle. (You'll also see the ES and a thicker/dashed 6-minute moving average of the TRIN, which will nicely mirror each other when things are normal.) I know what happened: Over the last few weeks, TRIN has...

Ancient false dichotomy whipped out by those who've neither had nor been either.

Ohfergawdsakes. If you can't put it into code, it's bullshit. Sheeeesh. Get over it.

For two days, the TRIN (NYSE-TRIN) data on my TWS would revert to 1.0 if I dared to hit 'refresh.' This screams not so much of the data, but more how TWS is handling it. Further, there is no ability to look backwards, as this "infects" the data back to yesterday's (Nov13) open. This produces...

YAY,KUHN!!!!! :strong::fistbump::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: (Mannnnnnnn, ol' ET just took a *giant* step up in caliber.)

5.50/5.36 ≈ 2.6%, in four market days. That sounds like a statistical question....

Half the trading costs, without the myth of pre-Market trading -- those probably help.
