I'm done. You're on ignore.

You're a special kind of idiot.

Simplicity doesn't make it correct. You're still wrong. You cannot disassociate the vertical from the digital simply because you admire the simplicity of your erroneous comparison to a vanilla call. The digital is delimited, capped, just as the vertical. "sle" is a exotics book runner for banks...

Great answer. Why be knowledgable if all you're doing is selling vola, right?

All someone has to do is buy a few thousand of the 10D puts on settlement, but it won't force a cover, just pain for the naked call seller.

They closed my account but actively pursued the account the following year. I have an AI account with them now. Trinitas Capital did the same thing with betsfortraders.com. Trinitas started as a buy-side fund that was active in lookback exotics. They were looking for retail sheep to lay-off...

I trade with IG, but have a buddy in the EU with a local machine running the front-end and remote access via logmein, etc. I cannot access IG from the US (direct). The IP fwds to Nadex.

$20k per account (SSN). I was averaging hits every 8 hours and was running 8-10 accounts at a time. Wins in the high six figures, low seven.

Well they lost buckets of cash over two "episodes" and not only killed it in the US but overseas, blaming it on Dodd-Frank. I'd like to know how DF impacts Euroland, their white-label with Rabo and others, and the fact that they killed box options a few weeks after the last episode, so a strange...

I'd also like to add an "IRL" example. Oanda was offering >40D touches priced as digitals. In 2011 the mkt in a 40-pip OTM bear-strike TOUCH on EURUSD was 75/100 BUYS at ONE MONTH in duration. These were not classified as touches (they were box options) but were structured as either fwd-starts...

Data pulled at 1:11 ET. Fees are $0.90 per, on the open and close, with a ticket max of $9.00. http://www.nadex.com/create-account/transaction-costs.html

Price a touch option at 40D with a week to expiration in real-time and compare the gamma (and speed) and PNL to that of a digital. Don't apologize, just go away.

absurd. Touch probability is ~2x expiration probability (2x dirty delta), but you cannot replicate a touch option with a digital. Yes, an atm digital has a fairval of 50/100 regardless of the vol-line, but as OTM they are priced to vola. The convergence to a pick-em market "ATM" on the digital...

wtf do I need screenshots? I can't fix stupid so you are on your own.

You're relating a touch market to a target fill? wtf.

You're wrong. It's simple equivalence. The delimited digital option (n/100) is equivalent to a delimited vanilla structure, in this case, a call vertical -- not a call. The call continues to earn (approaching D100), while the digital is limited to 100-n. There are other proofs, but the blatantly...

Sure, it's trading at 0.0000015. Makes a lot of sense, yeah.

Be sure to listen to this chick and also DBPhoenix. Masters of the one-lot and Monday morning quarterbacking.

That dog is better than the hamster with the monocle or the buttsecks owl. I love it.
