TWS is essentially a trading platform kit, which starts out looking like a spreadsheet, and can be warped and woven into some very different trading profiles, all depending on the time/effort that the individual traders/institutions wish to employ. Moreover, there are generally two or three...

"Mr. Franklin! What kind of government have you given us, sir?" "A republic, if you can keep it."

Posted like a good sheep. OR you could get involved.

There is an ET poster (with the word "Options" in his name) who contends that time is irrelevant to rolling an ITM option. I kid you not. Totally serious. "Hand to God" and all that. :rolleyes: Sheeesh.

IB's TWS, and I believe ToS, can offload a .csv file, though it's not in real time. But there are APIs that can take that over, if needed.

You're struggling because you have the premises wrong. The government tail must never wag the populace dog. It's not that hard: fund your life -- do your best in Seeking Happiness according to your Life and your Liberty -- when things are best as a group -- including delegating Police Powers...

"Volume." :D

Jeez -- I would definitely call IB on that one -- and pronto! As far as quick things to check?? Did you create/transmit the first order through the FA? (I would make sure that your account roller is set on the correct account.) Next, I don't know how you're forming your trades, but get into...

"Ohhhhh but we doooo-oooooooooo!" :D (And we all participate, every day.) :D

Dogs don't plan well, but everyone loves to say, "Look at that dog! HE lives in the present!" Call it Darwin, call it Situational Awareness, call it P.T.S.D. -- but the stress of living in the answer to "Why it it so hard to live in the present." We don't enjoy these fears, particularly. But...

Is this your thesis???? My gawd. Whatever you're smoking, lay off of it for a bit. Seriously.

Time decay is irrelevant for an ITM?? No one told the option market.

Until he didn't. JEEZ. 2.8 years to weather the Stormy.

There is no such thing as "demand-based pricing." All pricing is done at the nexus of supply and demand. Ye ol' Q_d = Q_s. "Resource-based pricing" -- all pricing, to the extent that it balances goods/services on the part of suppliers, with goods/services/cash on the part of consumers --...

So, tell us: You are trading a market with a MID of $100.00; BID of $98.75 ASK of $101.25. If you wish to sell, what is your offer? Why? If you wish to buy, what is your bid? Why? What else do you consider? Why? Give some to get some.

Well put!! :D

Not sure of the question, exactly, but ... puts could help you "collar" -- I'd still look for a way to get paid. (Like, selling puts at your original basis.) and If you roll an ITM call closer-in-time, you'll be paid for that roll, whereas if you roll an OTM call further-away-in-time, you'll...

I don't read this guy's stuff enough.

To get us back to the original thought -- Yes, the "shape" is currently 'intact' -- do you account that anything besides a curious coincident? You also 'project' a 30% drop and some top-10 days... So, 30% of what?? Top-10 of what?? It would help to have a bit more basis -- so far this thread...
