"They're like choices but better than dilemmas. But that's not important right now." :D

Focus on the $1.42, instead........ You're welcome. :D

Effective Trading Stress Relievers? A good exit plan. (Jeez you guys! :rolleyes: )

From your first post, I have found it curious how someone with such a screen name and such an avatar as yours, could so persistently post such ignorant and bass-ackwards shit -- especially in regards to options. I wrote it off to to ignorance and a big ego, and (I think) ignored you. But you've...

Your lack of sufficient intelligence or initiative to do your own work (or to understand others') in no way excuses you from your practiced ignorance. Troll.

If the exchange goes down, you are well-and-truly screwed. If the local hub(s) go down, you need to find a T1 public connection. For me, it was the local library right up the street. (No lie! My Tax Dollars At Work! So that, when AT&T AND two local cable suppliers both went down [effectively, a...

More stable here (Indiana, USA) than in years. Generally, my TWS is up between 8am Eastern and Midnight. For the past 3-5 years, I would get (what I assume to be) daily server interruptions -- *transient* losses of signal -- around 11:45am, and again at 1700hrs (±15min.s??) -- and (for me) the...

D'ya mean like beerntrading already did above? :D Ya gots pictures, ya gots urls for *piles* of whitepapers..... Jeez, man, do your own homework.:wtf:

What you're looking for is there, I'm pretty sure. Take your time, make that little configuration wrench your friend. SAVE SETTINGS FREQUENTLY (and with alternate names!!!).....

You ask a fair question, around which much has been written. The basic set-up you describe is (in effect) a short squeeze, but from the short option to the long equity-holder. If we assume any sort of call-to-equity 'balance' around a regularized range of prices, and then a run-up into a range...

You're going about it quite logically, and my own first-thoughts have been covered by others. I have one last idea: check the memory cache allotted for your major activities, and make sure that they're not bumping up against their allotments. For IB's TWS, this is a single line in a plain-text...

To chime in..... I had written "mid-January" in the message above. It should be corrected to read "mid-February" as per the graph below. (Regardless, crrrrrrappy time to write; and no mystery why FB might show any form of IV<HV when the greater part of the market mirrors that character. )

Ranks right there with one of my favs......

IB's Wayne B (a smart guy, been around for many years) told you that the cost basis of the call you bought was rolled into the price of the future you sold. newwurldmn told you to "Put all your transactions related to this clearly and in order with all the prices." You quoted $1376.42 for a...

Even more: as a stockholder, you are (let's remember) an owner. This gives you legal standing, should you wish to sue, etc etc etc. It's *worth* to you can be summarized (but not detailed) by the price at which you hold it.

Are you asking if I agree with the statements I just made to you? I do agree with myself. There is no basis for a relativistic conclusion like "pretty high," since we have no historic track of this 'spread', and we don't even know how this EGARCH was computed. That being said, if you compared...

Many issues with these opening statements, but first maybe, is that since a common σ calculation is but a special case of a GARCH set-up (for example, the limit as measured heteroskedasticity tends to zero), and any GARCH-calculated σ is going to carry biases by construction. Why would you...

Enjoyed reading this discussion, and looking forward to (any more) thoughtful replies.
