    Is interactive brokers ever going to fix the intraday VWAP indicator?

    This carries a bizarre disconnection to reality. But, "Oh well."

    Brokers will vary; exchanges vary with acceptable native order forms by type of underlying asset; but the magic words you're looking for are Bracket, Trailing Stop, and Trailing Stop Limit. Learn the particulars of those (as presented by your broker, according to the applicable exchange rules)...

    Is interactive brokers ever going to fix the intraday VWAP indicator?

    Happily, you're way wrong. ("Yayyyy?") Open the Studies section of your charts, and navigate to the Volume Studies. Click on either of the Intraday Volume Weighted Average Price or the Moving Volume Weighted Average Price. Fiddle with the time parameters until you get a better correspondence --...

    Is interactive brokers ever going to fix the intraday VWAP indicator?

    While the opening candles on the 1-minute chart are missing from that cut, my straw man right now is that the charted VWAPs are correctly displaying VWAP for their time bases, and that the QuoteZone VWAP is representing the totality of (Price*Volume)/Volume since cash open. If that is correct...

    Is interactive brokers ever going to fix the intraday VWAP indicator?

    The QuoteZone VWAP is the same for the three different time samplings -- 1-day, 5-min, and 1-min. Unless it were a line of slope=0, this is impossible. So, an immediate question: on what time reference is the Quotezone VWAP based? Given a glance at the PA for the 3 different windows, I would...

    Whoa! This'll change things up a bit: https://interactivebrokers.capitalise.ai/wizard

    This https://www.capitalise.ai/team write-up is about it. FWIW, I find this typical in Software-as-a-Service start-ups -- they're all 'finding their way.' I might *wish* to know more, but I can recognize that by the time they write it, it's old news. "I get that."

    When P-C parity does not hold

    • what produces the inequality(ies)? • are the inequalities stable? Monotonic? and then, of course, • what role for arbitrage? :wtf: You're in a loop. Break out. Read something besides Hull, and see where they agree/disagree in their simplifications. Read Hull's reference list. When you don't...

    Whoa! This'll change things up a bit: https://interactivebrokers.capitalise.ai/wizard

    I will admit that I picked up "3rd Party Advert" right from the start. What I *Don't* like, is that in 5-10 minutes of looking, I couldn't find the going-forward price. I don't buy products that fuck with you like that. Not a candy bar, not software, not anything. :mad: Tucked away on their...

    When P-C parity does not hold

    "...However, it is possible to use arbitrage arguments to obtain upper and lower bounds for the difference between the price of an American call and the price of an American put." [Hull, as above.] I know -- you missed this part. And missed that arbitrage arguments were not present in Hull's...

    What is the best approach for this trade ?

    Do you know what Sunk Costs are? They're sunk. They're gone. Nobody owes you anything on them, and to behave as if they do is to invite disaster with both hands. Here, I'll make it easy. https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/knowledge/economics/sunk-cost/...

    What is the best approach for this trade ?

    Wrong again. What is apparent is that the OP posed a query on how to handle a long future contract and a long put contract that sits $1.25 below. This means very small capital risk, and nearly zero movement in the position no matter what the market might do. • I observed that 2930-ish calls...

    When P-C parity does not hold

    This reminds me of Efficient Market Theory -- which never holds up. "Yes, it does."o_O No, it doesn't. "It absoLUTEly does." :mad: No, it really, honestly, doesn't. "YES, IT DOES!!" :caution::caution::caution: Okay, you're right: trade it. "What??" :wtf: ["But, like, I thought you were all...

    You are proposing he close one side of a delta-neutral (riskless) trade? Really? You've just broadcast your total ignorance AND arrogance. WwwwwwWOW.

    Spread Combo Names

    Yeah, and it's Cynthia -- Cynthia Tomain, not Colleen. THAT's how long it's been. :confused::rolleyes: (Still, the point holds: pretty much *everything* in TWS is doable 3 or 4 ways. And set-ups! Page set-ups, order set-ups, blah blah blah... FIDDLE with it. Think of it as some damn video game...

    Caffeinated thoughts from a full-time software developer/part-time trader

    So, the "beat up" part -- is that more on the demand side, the supply side, or are you more, "beat-up agnostic" and just looking for discounts? (Or, have you thought about it like that?) Indeed, is this Corn(s) Of The Cow, rather than Dogs Of The Dow? :D

    What is the best approach for this trade ?

    1) A 2950 call will not provide coverage for your teensy potential loss between 2935 and 2936.3 2) I surely do hope you did not pay much over the current market of ~$2.00 for that 2950 call. You should either exit that, or consider selling a nearby call and spread it. 3) Your choice to not do...

    Andrew Luck is retiring

    FWIW (and, as a non-NFL addict), Luck had really grown a respect-worthy personna here in Indy. He was into charitable actions (hospitals and PBS), he downplayed Colts-related drama, he was *always* going an extra mile. (Kinda like his on-field self, with the occasional "Nice stick!" when someone...
