actually noticed that it does not show greeks for SPX, NDX, where i need it. Does anyone know why greeks are little off in IB option trader? compared to other platforms which are consistent. l am not subscribed to real time data however was informed the option chains are real time

thanks

l thought optionseducation.org would have but they are delayed. l want to see particularly delta for strikes thanks

thanks for the tip, I got rid of the open close fields, mostly to free up RAM also don't even look at them, high and low do give an indication where market has been so gives me idea without looking at a chart, have delta already, i think ivr would be much more useful than iv, bid and ask volume...

l had contacted IB about their poor data provided by risk navigator. l am particularly interested in the SPX Delta column to know how my portfolio delta and individual holdings correlate to the SPX or the market. however this important data is almost always inaccurate, as it does not show the...

Limit order was used. would expect a better execution from IB no? commissions I got made it worse.

I had bought a vertical put credit spread at -0.42 credit. but the market was (-0.57 -0.44 ) seconds later. either way, I checked the T&S for the individual legs, and I had purchased the 63.5put above NBBO and sold the 65p at the bid, in a wide bid offer spread. to make it worse IB commissions...

I can't find the relevant IB webinar. Which one do you know answers my questions? The customers service guy on the phone said it wasn't possible, and you say the webinars says it is and shows how you do? please give me the webinar link, eager to see it, and IB themselves will have to be...

"Combo button/Leg-by-Leg tab/drag-n-drop to build." is what I do, but how do you "One-click trading set-ups." ? l also notice TWS software is less resourceful than other trading softwares, which are more effective and loads more user friendly and attractive. it really takes the most RAM to run...

tommcginnis, what is it you use in TWS that allows you the flexibility or the things I require in have same combo just with different strikes or expirations, done with a click?

is Strategy Builder in TWS option trader? because that is what l use to trade options. so are you saying you can have the same model, eg a broken wing with a specific expiry and strikes, and set up another broken wing, just by adjusting the expiries and strikes to compare or analyse, etc?

you mean the "pair or leg by leg" tab in combo selection window of option trader? l use that everytime. works fine for setting up a combo, but if you want to set up a similar combo, but with different dates or strikes, you have to set it all up again :( you should be able to keep the same model...

are you saying, if you want a broken wing for eg, you just click broken wing? please elaborate, how to set this up, called customer service about this, and they said to change an expiration or strike of a combo, you ahve to set it all up again.

Hi Def, Option trader should allow us to set up combos and then adjust them by strikes or expirations, rather than having to set up the whole combo again, which is an unnecessary hassle. TOS allows this, it saves so much time in fast moving markets. Option trader should also have have the...

thanks Option Guru, do on the day of earnings or as close to market close as possible right? How about month? as Feb16 ATM has no bid! what are your opinions on BRCM?

I have been married to BRCM since ~a decade ago, it has been a tumultuous marriage, I have 200 remaining, and have been doing nothing with it. Since the earnings are coming up I was considering selling covered calls, preferably above the current price, but looking at the option chain in near...

in my iron condor on SPY,April 24th, 211.5C 212.5C, 207p 206p, l had tried to close it at prices which were the best bid at the time,(in IB have to select BID to close and ASK to open) yet they didnt execute. eventually l entered a price of -0.39 and it did get executed, when the mid price was...

entered the trade on 8th August, trade: 12th September: x2 193p x`-1 202.5p , at -3.09 credit, but its costs ~ -3.90 to exit now. thought about doing an iron condor, august29th 198.5c 199.5c 192p 191p , opinions?

yes it was very do able, when I looked the spread was at about (0.14 0.18) for about 20 mins when l was infront of my computer , a GTC close at 0.20 was already set up, it just decreased so l dropped the price to 0.13 and left it for last hours, that didnt get executed either. the BWB...
