Bad News For Canadians: "You Have 30 Days To Close Your Account" Clearly something big happened in US regulation without an official announcement in the media. Instead "folks" are just getting letters out of the blue.

I swear by the King James Version

It's just how the market works. Underlying price goes down, IV goes up which gooses up the time value part of the option's price. Underlying price goes up, IV goes down. Clearly your put is not ITM enough for delta to have as much effect as IV. As the option goes more ITM the time value part...

Anyone remember OpenTick? It was real tick data, fairly reliable and free. Too bad they closed up shop.

Open the thread and select thread tools, then select export thread. It opens a new page with all the posts in one shot.

Ready to back up the truck on another ATM option bet without a live data feed to try to make your money back?

You can't profitably trade that way. You're like a kid playing with matches.

When you entered the trade what was your plan for exiting it? What percent of your account did you risk on the trade? Or did you "back up the truck?" Just sell now and call it a tuition payment to Trader University.

Easy enough to find out with a paper account

You'll have to write your own API front-end program to manage the positions separately. All you'd really be doing is keeping fictitious trade records under the hood, each with their own SL and TP. When you want to close a position you would simple place a market order of the same size in the...

With all those big losses have you considered going back to work?

Tweetdeck is fine if you're on a normal browser but what about an iPhone or Android app? Twitter discontinued support for the old API that enabled tweetdeck in the first place so I wouldn't be surprised to see browser tweetdeck disappear too.

Yup I don't see any EUR.USD ticks on IB yet. Oanda is showing activity.

BTW I too was a denizen of the BTC-e trollbox.

OMG wing tips and blue jeans.

In the UK "pissed" means "drunk"

My rotation includes EDV which is currently above the 50/200:cool:

I've recently looked at greeks values in ToS and IB and they've always tracked closely. This includes IV and delta. I haven't looked at gamma. ToS lets you choose which model to use (Bjerksund-Stensland vs Black-Scholes) but IB doesn't have that choice. I *think* IB uses Black-Scholes and...
