Whoa there. Let's not get crazy! I admit it's close, but... :p

I'm having good luck (so far) with esignal "On Demand". It's $25/month (30 day risk-free trial) and you get 1, 5, 60, Daily, and tick data. I think you get up to 120 days of the intra-day data. Do note that this is DELAYED data. Okay with me, because I just use it to backtest. I've had it...

He's right here on ET ---> http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=21652 Last post: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2092428#post2092428

Trading just the stock may not be more profitable on a ROI basis, it's just the little bit more hassle trading the ops, and fighting a b/a spread that may take 10-20-30% of your gain. Short term stock and futures trading don't have quite the "friction losses", as op trading. No risk without...

Anybody that does even a tiny bit of DD would realize that Cramer is totally irrelevant and for entertainment only. He's proven to be not even as good as just owning the SP500. Yeah back when he had a HF, he made millions from OPM, hiring real traders, using clueless CNBC for rumors, buying...

As the option moves further in the money (ITM), there is proportionally more intrinsic value, and less volatility-derived time (theta) value. You see this reflected in the option's delta. Very deep ITM options have deltas approaching 1. That is, they move close to 1-to-1 with the stock and...

My gawd. Is this a joke??? About the only thing more pathetic than "Timmay", is someone creating a site dedicated to bashing him. I have to assume this is really TS doing it. He's just trying to extend his 15 minutes out to 15 minutes and 30 seconds... Won't work. Tim Boy is so over...

Think of it this way, HV is the actual, real, historical volatility of the underlying security as measured over 20 days, 30 days or whatever. IV is what the volatility is implied to be, based on the particular option's price. IV is often thought of to be "what the market is predicting" the...

That's some scary stuff, nassau. Let us know what happens. Thanx.

Guilty! :D

I sympathize with you. That's a nasty thing to have happen. Unfortunately, it's just one of the risks of trading and in particular, one of the risks of electronic trading. It's easy to blame IB in this instance (I'm glad you didn't), but they had nothing to do with it. When the exchange...

I bet they aren't the only ones. And throw in over-leveraged IC guys too. Any short put fund that says "We are completely safe...we carefully tested against historical moves and there never has been a time when..." is gonna eventually get blasted. It only takes a little 20% down week to...

Maybe NOW this is capitulation? Or was it really day before yesterday? Monday for sure? Or at least by Tuesday... You just have to drag out that old chestnut "the market can be irrational longer than..." :p

One of the great calls on ET. You were a tiny bit early, but much better than the average non-permabears, who were screaming "It won't be that bad..." Good trading to all. :cool:

Brutal... :p

You had sex with your brother??? :p

I think you mean "IV depends on the option price." Recent volatility of the underlying, along with all the standard model parameters and supply/demand forces, and, let's face it, the whims of the market maker, all go into the mix to create an option's price. From this, models are usually...

I probably should, but my hands are still bleeding from a few weeks ago! :p Been 100% cash for a while now. Why trade this crazyness? There will be other opportunities. :cool:
