No, they don't! Open the DOM and lift the offer. The buy at the top of the queue will fill your bid. The exchange doesn't "make sure" that they "match" two traders... it's wholly dependent on YOUR size and price and who is FIFO on the offer. MARKET EXPOSURE?! dafuq, Bro?

OI is not increase by two if the counter-parties trade a one lot to open a position. If one is to open and one to close... no change to OI. If both close? OI is reduced by one. The buyer and seller remain anon. Nobody disputed that the contractual obligations are guaranteed by the exchange and...

The CME is the guarantor. That's the purpose of the exchange... the exchange makes no attempt to "flatten its book." You're conflating, yet again, the exchange's act of assuming credit risk with a dealer's business model. The exchange charges a fee for each transaction to act as underwriter.

People attend those games? Huh.

Name the last time a caucasian was killed while cops were serving a warrant or arresting said caucasian for a nonviolent crime. I'll wait.

Where is @DELTAONE77 and his sock puppet sim-traders? Wanna know how we know it’s sim? PM for details.

There are a few advantages to trading the synthetic straddle structure. You can trade the shares discretely (reduce by odd lots if mkt risk too high), among other advantages. The goal is to collect dividends and have the shares grind higher to neutrality (terminally; to the short strike). It...

Yeah, I assume you were born in 83. It's nobody's lucky number. I graduated HS in '82 (early). My point is this: pick shares with decent divs -> pick an expiration you want to short -> pick a strike sufficiently OTM on calls which a) gives you room and b) allows for some decent prem -> buy the...

To add; say you want to gain exposure to KO out to Jan 2021. You short the Jan 55P at $1 over intrinsic. Not a lot of cash for limiting your upside, but always a better risk than owning shares outright... in this case, $1/share lower risk. Obv your upside is limited to $55 on KO. You do not...

A quick primer on conversions. The difference between a call and a put? Shares. Long call = long shares + long put (synthetic long call). Long put = short shares + long call (synthetic long put). It's termed a conversion because you can "convert" a put to a call and vice versa. The...

Yeah, why buy KO outright when you can short ITM puts? Short slightly ITM puts on a variety of high div shares. 5-6. KO, T, etc. Div is embedded if the tenor covers the pay-date and you capture the vol and premium in the same strike call as well. If the shares rally you keep the prem and will...

Jared Kushner being considered as special prosecutor.

It was 90 yesterday.

Dude, critical thinking or simple comprehension. He has 20-30 mad bullish posts over the next year. Not a single short.

Delta’s alias posted and was banned.

Could be due to the low deck when it exploded but it was rumored to be a GBU-12 Paper Paveway. Air to air.

What if you're previously covering a short? What happens to OI? You have no clue how any of this works.

Some believed the weight of the cocaine cause the helo to crash, but what of the explosion in mid-air?!

lol sim-guy, why do you cut off the top of your front-end? Perhaps because it clearly reads, "UPGRADE TO LIVE TRADING" at the top.
