I'm surprised no one's asked if you have a soul. :cool:

There are no guarantees. It's up to you to perform due dilligence on brokers before selecting one. Some are fly-by-night and others are conservative in terms of customer fund segration. Recall how back in 2008 money market funds nearly broke the buck. Most brokers sweep cash into money...

If the IV were the same for both July and August then the price for July options on the same strike price would be less due to theta decay. Since July is higher priced clearly IV is higher in July than August. This means the market is predicting a large move between now and July expiry.

Your talk of a "single World Central Bank" raised the hair on the back of my neck, that's all.

Please let's not turn this into an Illuminati thread. :cool:

Unless I messed up the math, system 2 has higher expectancy. System 1: expectancy = (0.6*1 - 0.4*1) = 0.2 System 2: expectancy = (0.03*100 + 0.57*1 - 0.38*1 - 0.02*100) = 1.19

But wouldn't those restrictions have been in place all along, or are they more recent?

"GENEVA (AP) — The Swiss government announced Wednesday that it will let banks circumvent the country's strict client secrecy laws as part of an effort to end a long-running tax evasion dispute with the United States."...

I'd be looking at adding to positions during a string of wins rather than losses.

I don't know what kind of trading you do but if you use IB Gateway instead of TWS I don't think it logs off at midnight.

If you use the 2 factor authentication (either the security code card or the fob) I don't believe either of those programs can relogin without your manual intervention.

The number of samples in your study (1) is probably insufficient for drawing any conclusions.

I trade smart-routed option spreads all the time with IB and I always enter and exit with limit orders between the bid and ask. I sometimes get partial fills where for example I try to enter 5 iron condors and only get filled initially on 2. The partials usually end up filling completely...

(Not sure if serious) OK I'll bite. You take 2 adjacent samples of the indicator. If the first value is 2 and the next value is 3 then the slope between these points is 3-2=1 (assuming that 1 tick on the x axis is weighted with 1). If both values are 2 then the slope is 2-2=0 If I...

I'm not sure what this has to do with "career trader" but I'll go with it. We had a lightning hit on our house last year. The biggest ticket item was the hot tub (fried electronics). It took over a year to get this settled after lies, threats, accusations of lying, etc. Finally had to...

It sounds like you have enough money on the line that this is a real concern to you. If that's true then your statement about being "unable to get to my computer" doesn't make sense. IB has a mobile TWS that runs on every smart phone platform. I'd use that as my backup broker access before...

I was gonna say. The PTJ documentary has been readily available for years all over the place. BTW it's not really that interesting.

If you have an enlarged prostate either from cancer or BPH, taking testosterone is like dumping gasoline on a fire.

Coin tossing works occasionally for me.

Any comments are welcome. I've discovered through banging my head against the wall that selling calls in a bull market is a bad idea. That said, I can't reliably predict what will happen in any coming month when I put on a trade. The bull market could end, right? Or at least take a pause...
