A lot of people do, indeed, "need" the sort / range of data you desire. (But most definitely, not in a market-wide snapshot.) They open a brokerage account, and pay. Some pay the broker; some pay pass-through from the original data source. You are right to think (IMO) that your needs are not...

There is a lot missing in your question. But assuming there is not a mistake between different price types (bid, ask, mid, VWAP, last, peak, yesterday's freakin' close...), there is also the mystery of how you entered the position. My guess is that your method of entry cost you $1500. :rolleyes:

And lastly -- as a basic trading strategy -- I am now shopping Jan05,12,19, employing the oh-so appropriately named strategy of

"How do you judge {where}? a simple trendline break." Orrrrr-rrrrr, you could telescope out a bit, and "declare" (and excise) the outliers appropriately. {Sorry: out-of-order insertion: Two spots in that yellow trendline [more below] pop above the line, and one spot rides right along it for a...

Sic hoc ergo propter hoc?? Just as the definition of "trend" in marketspeak ends up "because I said so" :banghead: ... the definition of "outlier" is also defined post hoc. Now, the fact that we can define it rigorously, aim numerous statistical measures at it, "correct" for it if need be...

Somebody said, "I ain't got nuthin'. Bill? Whatchu got?" And Bill says, just back from his eye exam, "Uhhhh, H, M, U, Z." And there writ history......:wtf::rolleyes::D

Well, here's a big :thumbsup: for the simply fact of putting a profit chart together to examine your choices -- it's all there, if we can just get the idea of taking things (like PnL graphs) apart, seeing how they're put together (as with just 4 pieces of puts+calls/long+short), and seeing how...

The model more-often-than-not, catches up with reality+the market, and not-so-much, anticipates it. o_O If we're voting, I vote for experimentation, too.

AND NOW?!?!? SPX 2656.00 ESMar 2659.00 ------------------------- discount -$3.00 That is not dividend payments. My original thesis (is that this is a capitalization of interest rate expectations over the next months) holds up some better -- but a quarter-point?? A half?!? Earnings doesn't...

We need an eMini-Bit!!!!! Woot!

I'll admit I really don't know who Dalio is. The first time I saw/heard of him (during the Financial Crisis maybe??), he was the centerpoint of an hour-long video that said *so*much* of what I *personally* thought needed to be said (and that I said myself to econ and polsci classes). I was...

And what does this have to do (in the least) with bitcoin?? :D

FWIW, my thoughts on a different ( :wtf: ) bitcoin thread... "Bitcoin is a service, and as such, only has value to the degree that that service is 'moat-able.'" https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/bitcoin-mania-is-now-worse-than-tulip-bubble.315789/#post-4560315

Bitcoin is a service, and as such, only has value to the degree that that service is 'moat-able.' (The same is true for FB, AMZN, YHOO ("Ooops! Nearly gone!), AOL (Ooops! Gone!") When they can dig a moat, I'll take interest. But right now, they are a hackable hack product -- that *happens* to...

But it *is*. Or *should*be*. The *biggest* single improvement in my game is to remember I'm not trading my shit. I'm trading somebody *else's* shit, and damnnnnnn but that takes the wind out of any Stupidity Sails I might wish to fly. (Or maybe it causes me to furl those sails. It's an...

This guy, for example. http://www.tradingsoftwarelab.com/jtwsdump/ Available through IB ('services??'); has been an ET member. <US$500 ($250-$400??) Will save you a lot of time. Do you know that you can export (.csv) via File/↓(down-arrow)/ImportExport/ExportPageContent from a page that you've...

"OHHhhhh-ooooooh." THAT Ford. (THAT Toronto!) :wtf:

It *was* a bunch of geeks! I got on <1985, and saw only recipes for The Bestest Cheeseburger going by, between the likes of Harvard, MIT, Michigan, and Stanford. I had an *hour-long* W.T.F. moment, and then got off for ~10 years. (I mis-took the traffic for the tool -- I thought it was a...

Santa is right underneath you. Have no fear. Santa sits at 2600 in the bushes, jus' a'wait'n top pop to the chim'ley at 2680, to scootch downstairs to 2660. No fears.*...

Ford??? And me without my towel..... [by-the-way.... R.I.P., Marvin The Paranoid Android.... what a great actor, whether voice-talent or live.]
