    Max @ Risk for Calander Spread

    I would agree with the earlier statements about potential losses assuming we are talking about diversified indexes. I believe that some seasonal ag products (coffee, corn, etc...) could see the out month cheaper than the front month.

    expiration on futures

    In this example, are we talking about a futures contract that you went long at 1230 or a futures options contract (a 1230 call)?

    IB Down?

    You would think having taken the Nikkei to 40,000 and back that the technology would be in place to support volume and volatility of that level. Are they really seeing all time high levels of throughput over there?

    IB Down?

    My existing GTC orders from yesterday are not even active. The market has already moved past two of my ER2 orders and several others would be NBBO, but are not displayed. This does not appear to be an exchange issue as futures volume is heavy and futures options appear to be transacting as...

    IB Down?

    I saw a note last night about futures options being down. Apparently they are still down this AM. I tried two separate accounts, logged in and out several times. Quotes are fine and TWS status is green but changing orders only results in a light blue status and check margin returns nothing...

    Looking to become a Registered Rep.. w/ a felony

    I want to know what "expunged" really means. I always thought it meant that it never happened. If that was the case, why do you have to tell people about it? What's the point of getting anything expunged if you still have to deal with it down the road?

    IB retail pit access or not ???

    From Forbes.com last week: "There are some fully electronic trading firms looking to hedge their bets on the demise of the floor-trading system. Interactive Brokers, one of the largest options trading firms, will begin offering clients access to a pit trader at the CME and the Chicago Board...

    Help, simple excel...

    Don, Post the sheet, or a sample that's similar and I'll see what I can come with using a straight formulas. I prefer them over VBA or macros because they are cleaner. Some things require VBA, but you'd be surprised what formulas will do. I didn't respond earlier because I thought someone...

    IB Great at catching erroneous trades

    There are specific rules for busts, right? How much discretion do the exchanges really have? I have only dealt with CME (thru IB) on busts and they have been great about it. One of my busts was when the market was 2.50 - 3.00 and I entered an order for $8 (should have been a call but I...

    IB Great at catching erroneous trades

    It's hard to believe some of the comments on this thread. I think IB could be inserting cash on an hourly basis in some of your accounts and you'd still be bitching. Busts are essential to a functioning, dependable market. It's one thing if you are trading large baskets of stock, but for...

    What posts make the true old pros laugh?

    I've been trading for 20 years. I see a lot of guys like Cheese on this board. Guys who like the previous poster said, like to make generalizations about who is/isn't here and the way things need to be for the trading world to be squared away. In a way I find his sort of post funny, but...
