I was thinking about that too. It would suck but I could handle a 0.50 per trade tax or something like that. But a percentage based tax would kill all the profit for day and swing traders. Without a doubt.

OMG I shudder every time this shit comes up. It would totally shut us down. Every damn one of us...

Yeah I found that interesting. Somebody should do a poll, but then most wouldn't vote honestly probably. But the cool thing is, I have been profitable for years...and sure as hell - my ring finger is longer than my index! :D

You should have bought CGR. It's up 7,350%! Yeah, looks like data issues. Other quote sites have it around $1.82. And there is no news I can see.

If you can make money doing CCs (or NPs), great. But as a few people have mentioned there are better ways to use options. With far less risk. Look into index strats (SPX, MNX, SPY, DIA, DJX, etc) or ETFs of your choice. Or emini futures options. IMHO doing enough CC/NP/Calendars...

Are you running QuoteTracker? It will try to connect if you select IB as the quote source. There must be a program running on your computer trying to connect with the TWS API. You should be able to disable all connection attempts by going to "Configure" on the top bar and then to "API"...

If you want to actually make money in options, get this book: "LEAPS", by Roth

It's also doubtful you are making money on anything but a lucky streak and randomness. This luck will soon run out and you will lose confidence, and lose money. Maybe you should read "Fooled by Randomness" and go back to delivering pizzas? :)

Automated/mechanical trading doesn't work. You need to "read the tape" with your experience. :D

Sounds just like me! Maybe I should read it...

KG and the Heckler Heckler: "You stink!" Heckler: "You ain't funny!" ... ... Kathy: "You're a f*ing a*hole, buddy!" Kathy: "This is where I work! You don't mess with somebody when they are working!" Kathy: "I don't go to where you work and knock the dicks out of your mouth!!"

Well dammit. My Dolphins lost (where are you Cubano?). They did pretty good tho. Hellofa lot better than last year! Damned Ravens have a F*ing tough D...

Unfortunately, a lot of this trading "skill" of SAC, Cramer, Rocker, et al, is just inside info. These guys aren't any smarter than the average trader, just a hell of a lot richer: "On January 13, 2003 Fontana sent his boss, Steven A. Cohen himself, a summary of his planned activities for...
