I loaded 820.2 over the past week on 3 machines. All were running a 6 month old version (810) as I am wary of new releases too. So far, no real problems. All my symbols were retained, however the toolbar reset itself to the original condition with all icons visible. I did absolutely...

I'm with ya....agree 100%

Unbelievable. Kudlow didn't really nail anything. He has some astronomic number every month. What is the old saying about a broken clock and twice a day?

CNBC reporting that someone bought a large number of calls on TLT (Lehman 20 yr) yesterday. A quick check of my stone tool shows open interest of almost 60K in the Apr 90, about 40K of which was put on yesterday in large blocks. May open interest is about 2K across all call strikes. As CNBC...

You wouldn't by chance be running QCharts would you?

Steve Cohen...and he's not a moron.

Followup on the last post. YM settlements should work the same as ES. Turns out, IB screwed up and used the closing from 3/18 to settle and remove the contracts. They should have used the Friday special opening, which was roughly 18 points lower. I didn't question any of this until this past...

Same here Bob, booted from one acct and the other running like a champ.

VBI works, thanks. 3.5 points in prem for the May contract? That's huge.

Is anyone trading this today? I can get the VXB quotes on IB, but not the VX. Can anyone else see the tradeable VX contract through IB?

Regarding my previous post...IB confirmed it is a problem and they are looking into it. New lines for futures options contracts may not be able to be entered right now. This does NOT look like it's version related. I was running 810 first thing this AM and had the problem, upgraded to 820.2...

Is anyone with a futures acct having trouble entering a new futures option line this morning? When I type ES, then the dropdown appears - Futures Option is greyed out. I have about 30 others already on my screen and this is what I trade. The "option" selection is available and those...

I use a similar strategy to Ansbacher. There are many nuances and Max accurately points out that risk control is the key. There is a lot of work involved.

I tried it this morning after the 9:30 open. On YM and ES, when right clicking, the option was at the top but greyed out. I selected "Request for Quote" from the dropdown menu and tried it on an ES contract and got the following message "Unsupported order type 'QUOTE' has been selected for...

What's a QR?

I am generally not taking directional positions. I am selling OTM calls and puts and hedging with YMs. Most months, there is slight managing necessary, some none at all. This month, there was more "rebalancing" than usual. What is frustrating is not being able to roll out the contracts when...

Yeah, that's hilarious. "Changed a little since then"? You bet it has. I guess there's probably still a broker or two out there doing that, just as some people use tomorrow's paper on the front step for stock quotes. Like someone said earlier, it is a free country, and it's your money...at...

"Nomore" has already suffered some very real consequences, as evidenced by his bipolar posting. You can just about pick his new weekly conspiracy threads of the front page based on the titles alone.

Baron should work to enable a feature that does not allow threads of people on your ignore list to be visible.

Depends on the market. Yesterday morning I would have paid full price. In normal markets, I usually put two positions on at a time. I try to split both spreads on entry. Sometimes it works. Other times, I split one then just pay the entire spread on the other position in the interest of...
