I don't know about the guy. Maybe you guys should put each other on ignore.

Not to interrupt the entertaining bit of dick measuring you guys are doing, but the thread was pretty cool. Kudos to no-pm for sharing and I hope we can get back on track here.

That just goes to show how those who are going to trade these new products really need to be familiar with the terms and specs - as def mentioned earlier. Don't get me wrong bounty, I'm not being critical of you - I have done far worse more times than I can count. With the high volatility...

So you are talking about full service brokers like Merrill and others who suggest trades to clients and you pay $30 - $50 a side? Yeah I guess you would need to be selective about those kind of folks... and switch if they aren't making you money.

When is it a bad day? After you've lost money? If your car breaks down and then you make money that day, is it a bad day then? "Bad day" is not quantifiable.

Same question here.

Family of lawyers huh? I guess I can understand the bitterness then.

Read the text again. If the charges were dropped, then you were not charged. I think where they are going is that if you were charged and found not guilty, they want to know that the state brought the case. Dropped charges are as good as no charges as it could have been an honest mistake...

I agree with the previous post. Sticky on billing too. They have a good product and some quality people, but you will be a number to them regardless of your size of account or run rate. In the end, the product is good IMO.

I have varied strategies for different markets, as anyone dealing in this area should. I find decreasing VIX environs to be more difficult. At least when the VIX is rising, you are getting paid more to roll out. As Dr Z mentioned, funds who don't consider premium sellers are only hurting...

As the VIX moves, the window gets more narrow (or wider) but it's still a viable strategy with the right structure. I don't have a fixed price or percentage for closeout when things are going against me. A lot depends on my hedges for that month, time to expiry, other positions etc... If I...

Performance reporting is voluntary. I have noted odd comings and goings as well. I agree any database could have similar issues. I guess it's important to note that these are "reported" results, and in fact anyone can report anything. There are a few new funds that appeared recently that...

Thanks def. I'm probably not seeing the Korea option because I'm a US resident.

Here's a basic question... Which data set do I subscribe to? I typed in K200 and got the subscribe box, the only options for me were non-Korean?

There is no accountability. Between the disclaimer and the presentation, there is really nothing to be held accountable for. Note that Pisani and others when claiming a reason for a move always preface the statement with "what I'm hearing here on the floor" or "traders are saying..." in other...

I believe Vic's issue was more deviating from his knitting, although better money mgmt would have improved his situation. His expertise was not the Thai Bhat and he got stung. Then he tried to make it up using his bread and butter methods and got stung again. Either event would have just...

IB has conditional orders. Any order can be tied to nearly any condition. When the condition is met, the order fires.
