Stop using indicators.

Did you calculate your reward:risk for the trade? If your net debit (max risk) was 0.54, what was the trade going to be worth if MSFT had moved to 37 like you wanted? If you didn't calculate this up front you shouldn't have entered the trade. Hint: you're not looking for 1:1 on directional...

I have a collection of cointegration-related code at home and some is in C#. I'll reply again when I get a chance to find it.

From a previous DRYS posting:

I bought a townhouse for my daughter to live in while in college a couple of years ago. With current housing prices it was a steal so we bought it for cash. Housing prices in the Washington DC area are still low and stable. Now she's graduated and it's rented out. Except for putting up...

My daughter made me try some. It's enough to gag a maggot.

"Me love you long time?"

Stop calling me surely.

Now why would it do that? The fortunes of a company like DRYS is tied directly to consumer buying because consumers buy goods manufactured in the far east (when they're buying). Consumers are buying less world-wide, not more. DRYS is sunk.

What is it with these people? If you're going to risk prison you should be socking it away in gold and disappearing with a new identity when you hit your dollar target. Instead they buy baubles and other trash like they'll never be caught.

You can't easily find out someone's identity with just an IP address as a private citizen. Now, if you're in law enforcement with a warrant an ISP can be compelled to divulge the identity given an IP address. Also clearly the NSA can do so without a warrant. But a private citizen cannot...

Yeah, like posting on ET. Seriously though many web sites block known Tor exit nodes just because of abuse issues.

I just posted this through a Tor exit node at 194.132.32.43. Good luck tracing me now. :cool:

Well, except for the kinky gay guys.

There's always a reason. It's bad business to act arbitrarily like that (unless you're the gubment). The same thing goes on at eBay. Sellers violate some TOU clause, get frozen and go crying to the message boards about how unfair they are. Paypal (really = eBay) does the same thing...

Raising that Saturn V rocket from the ocean floor probably cost more than the Washington Post.

The only real holy grail I can think of would be waking up in the mid-80's knowing to buy 1,000 shares of Microsoft. Not only would I become a millionaire but I'd be young again. :cool:

I use IB. You can't to my knowledge place stop orders based on delta, just price. Directional calendars and butterflies are great really. You just have to be selective based on getting the highest reward:risk and probability based on IV.

Frankly I never liked ICs though I did have a journal here recently where I was trading them. I eventually gave them up and am working on high reward:risk directional trades instead. To answer your question, you can have a look at the rules in my journal. In a nutshell, I rolled out...
