Check out another 5-7% drop today.

They will be sued. Their commission was also the lowest compared to the other IPOs. The winners will be short sellers. I see FB at 25 in a week.

The fact that the manipulators try to pull it higher AH, says FB is a hype.

Maybe it will be the case in $20 range. Now they a boat load of sues behind them. YHOO, investors,... Even with yesterday's $40 target by Needham it is not moving up.

I hear many hedge fund managers and even small/ big traders are so determined to short FB and drag to it to zero. Never saw this sentiment on any IPO. That is not becoming a trading strategy, it is becoming personal.

I meant in your favor to get your order filled. Usually a trader has two favors, 1- pre order fill, 2- after order is filled.:eek:

Combo orders are handled differently (all based on my experiences). Most of the time (on low volume options), your order won't get filled unless the underlying moves in your favor and the options prices change and your "mid point" becomes the bid when you sell or the ask when you buy. In highly...

FB shares are shortable in IB as of tomorrow (5/23).

By the way you should also have the minumum margin needed for that trade. Selling a naked Call on a $10 stock with the strike of $12 is much lower than selling naked call for a $500 stock with the strike price of $550.

Each broker has its own minimum to open an account. For example as far I know IB has a minimum of 10K for opening an account. Once you open an account, you have to sign up an agreement accepting the risk of selling naked options and that does not need more money. You should prove or say that you...

That was a liquidation order. I over traded and I was liquidated on that position. That is perfectly fine with me. Good thing that I was liquidated with profit. This will be my last post on this thread since everything should be almost clear.

All the info that you are looking for are available in IB's website. Click on the link below and the click on options and select your strategy and see the margin requirements. http://individuals.interactivebrokers.com/en/p.php?f=margin

What Bob had as an attachment was not the list of exchanges offering rebates. It was only the list of exchanges and the percentage of the daily option volume executed in that exchange. Definitely CBOE is number one.

You can find all the exchanges rebate tables in IB option commission website. IB is here to make money but so far they are doing a very honest job. Either we should quit trading and go and play guitar and climb mountains instead of trading !! or stick with a reasonable broker and do our...

That should be the case but I guess since BOX is not that active as CBOE or NASDAQ. So when you remove liquidity, don't expect to get rebate. Leave it to the hands of luck. Basically when you set your account to highest rebate, it does not mean that your orders will go to lala land and will wait...

I heard on NPR that there were thousands of retail buyers for FB. There was even an order to buy at $4000 per share !!.

For limit orders when you add liquidity, your order usually is routed to NASDAQ but does not necessarily mean that it will be executed in NASDAQ. My experience is when you set your account to highest rebate, in long run, you will save some money. By the way, don'y worry where your order is...
