Seemingly they need at least three weeks. So if they haven't reported by the 1st of the month you can assume it goes beyond the serial date. Sucks, but all vols out to the 24th will drop on Monday.

Oh shit. I took a flyer short the Jan24 as the vola was 50/50 for the report missing that date. I hope that nobody is too concentrated long the 24th.

All I am stating is that a binary is equivalent to a vanilla vertical spread. The payoff of the binary (ATM fairval of 1/2, 50/100) alludes to the payoff of its vanilla-equal. The edge will always be worse than the vanilla exchange offering due to dealer vs. auction market and the bespoke nature...

Oh please, Surfer. You didn't make a dime in 2008.

The point is that the OTC binary is a synthetic vanilla vertical. The payoff of let's say a 30/100 digital is a three-dollar, ten-wide vertical. Don't trade OTC binaries unless you need the OTC conventions (duration and price-granularity). There is no easy replication for a touch option, so you...

Well, either you're getting vacation pay and not traveling, or you're not getting vacations per your employment contract, which would be very odd. You don't think they can hire someone cheaper who will devote their work hours to their work? Per ofthomas; get an ipad mini or android tablet...

Maybe you would lend him your copy after you're done. The thing was a paper-trade as shown on the blotter. What's all this BS about talking to the broker. The guy is an admitted troll.

Huh? OK, disregard the averaging comment. Don't trade OTC digitals. The edge loss is far worse than in listed FX ETFs. Stick to touch and double knockouts if you're going the OTC route.

I have a bunch of ICs on this thing (short g/v) in Jan17s. 7/2 risk in the 1065/75/1155/65 strikes. I may short some shares against it here at ~1117 even though I am neutral to 1105. Edit: I am content to be short to 05.

Attempt at free gamma before or hold through the report?

I do mean profit factor. I don't believe much of what I read here on ET. You will get 100s of sub if you can produce a 3x PF with relative high frequency (>1 trade per week). Stating that you're risking one to earn six is absurd, unless you're taking three trades a year.

I suspect there is very little that you've gotten right.

Zero credibility to show screenshots of an iphone client. It could be paper or production, who knows. Post the trades as they occur or don't bother. As of know you've proven nothing other than you're spurious.

Paper trade... nothing to see here.

Why is there no maintenance req on those short options?

No offense, but nobody trades anything less on this forum.

The lag is a detriment. You can't front-run a move. If you have "100% marketable" rating then you're not using their fill-algo and it's a legit system. The only gaming would result from trading illiquid markets.
