    My *COD* these IB margin requirements!

    Thanks R1234! Does that protect your whole account, or is it just the cash portion, that at the end of the day is swept into an insured account? Does that protect you if they blow out in the middle of the day? Thanks!

    My *COD* these IB margin requirements!

    So gents, Yes, me opening another account is trying to get more protection - my understanding that if I have one account as IB in my name, and one in my and my wife's name, those are two separate accounts for relevant insurance programs, thus you wouldn't aggregate them for purposes of...

    $TSLA

    I'm starting a shorting program on this turd tomorrow. Not big, but will be shorting ~$3000 worth of stock a week, for at least the next year. So, at current prices 10 shares a week, adjusted, maybe ratcheted up slowly over time, for a week. Selling every Friday, waiting for that Monday...

    My *COD* these IB margin requirements!

    So, I have an account with 2.5x in it. I have .825x of this holding positions, a good bit of which is short volatility products. I know, risky. But this is a margin account, and not only am I not above my investment amount, but of my cash in there, I'm only using 33% of it to hold positions -...

    How good is Jeffrey Gundlach?

    Barrens article saying he called the subprime crash: https://www.barrons.com/articles/what-is-jeffrey-gundlach-worried-about-now-1521244802 A bit early but who really cares. Wonder why he was fired in 2009?

    How good is Jeffrey Gundlach?

    LOL guys, this thread is not about me trying to learn to trade or learn trading secrets. I am genuinely curious about Gundlach based on that link I saw with his accomplishments (which I am having a hard time finding again) and Maverick's mentioning a future interview with him he was going to...

    How do institutions buy/sell large amounts of options?

    I second or third support for Robert Morse. Very helpful, and pretty much everything he says makes sense. Plus I think he was the first person to respond to my first ET post (question). Top notch!

    How good is Jeffrey Gundlach?

    I saw a site where it cited his accomplishments, which I believe included calling the sub-prime crash, and a bunch of other things, but I'm having a hard time finding it. And not seeing it on his wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Gundlach It says he was fired in 2009 after being in...

    Want to make 1k / month on 100k, selling options.

    Wholly crap spindr, not in my wildest dreams would they give a recommendation in writing with such fundamental mispricing flaws. Has no one there tofd them this? Seems like they should figure it out fairly quick and fix it. Apparently not lol.

    Want to make 1k / month on 100k, selling options.

    Thanks spindr, wasn't trying to be a dick, just trying to make the $10 profit that OptionsGuide is saying make sense. I thought it was maybe in the excess call (sale) over put (purchase) premium, but in your example both are $5. So they must be assuming the $50 stock goes to $60 over the life...

    Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

    Rickshaw Man, when you say "negative divergence", I take it you are meaning price movement diverging from some indicator? Which indicator? Sorry, I'm sure its a newb question. Just googled it and it looks like divergence is a general term that can be measured by a few different things. Thanks!
