What is the factual basis of your opinion? Not doubting you, but simply curious to know the factual basis if any.

Your correct answers would not mean that the next guy will know how to answer the same questions. They are test questions--You cannot put a test question to bed, because the issue is the knowledge of the person answering not the questions. Go ahead, and give the answers. If someone were to...

How about this one: what prevents them from using the 25K to lend to other traders, and use the SPAN margin to lend 20 times as much. If leverage is 20, you time that by the interest they charge on the lending, you get a good number. If you use 3% as interest charge, the 25K can make around 13K...

Martin: What is it that I talked about that I do not understand? I accept critique. It would be good to see proof. I never write something I do not think I do not understand. Every statement I make, I can prove it. If one buys 10s, and sells 2's, what one is doing is buying the cash flow of...

It was the Yen that made the move first before the stock market and the bonds.

You did not follow the Yen last night? It was a ferocious down move for the Yen. I knew that the Japanese would act on the night of Thursday to Friday. Last business day of the week. Now we will see what they will do on Sunday. If they are smart, they gap it.

What do you offer? I will take the challenge. I am waiting for your answer.

Hey Auto: good job there. Could I ask this question: could you give a quick overview on how to develop such robots? I know how to program in a number of languages. I want just to know the framework, things to read, tools to use, etc to develop an easy robot, and then program a more evolved one...

Did you check the rules on strike change? Is it possible that 30.0 strike would become 21.50?

The origin of the answer is in Japan... The Yen.

Interview questions to anyone who teaches options-related material: 1. What is the delta of an ATM call? 2. Is an ATM straddle delta neutral? 3. If the delta of a strike is say 25%, what it the probability that the instrument visits the strike? Assume cost of carry is zero.

How much does he lose per day... on a good day? Why trade the emini (instead of the big one) if a guy is good and is well capitalized?

Messrs. ZN Chart, and ZT Chart :D

You did not understand what I wrote. I believe the other readers did. Let me review it. In your initial options position you described, you started with a call spread (long one strike, short another strike). Rework that in terms of puts. You can also do it in terms of straddles. Try to figure...

Do you mean that the strike values will be reduced, or that the call price MINUS the put price will reflect the dividend? If you mean the latter, I checked the chain and it is the reason of my post because the difference is not a large number. If you mean the former, then could explain it in...

Do you think that his strategy is to insult others so that there are more posts, and therefore more potential exposure for his things? If so, he picked the wrong people this time, as the readers should be able to easily make their conclusion about what he knows and what he does not, assuming...

Others may have picked your pockets, and you do not even seem to realize it. Talk about options expertise! Here is the hint. Instead of the call spreads, redo the same thing with puts-- you might be able to realize what you lost. If you do not realize it then they deserve what they picked from...

I read your post in the other thread. The price moved before the news! Part of trading is to read minds of governments. I think I know a bit about how the Japanese mind works--- that is how I anticipated their action earlier today as per my post on the other thread.:)

You are the only one who caught the little detail about trend verification. You must be very intelligent. Has the the idea been discussed in literature? I have my methods, and I do not know if other methods have been discussed in the literature. My methods are proprietary. As for pullback vs...

Yen related pairs are moving fast. I predicted an intervention to that place tonight or tomorrow. Any news?
