I think everyone will receive sooner or later. They cannot send emails to all/most of their user base at once, because they will not be able to handle so many requests in 10 day time. So I guess they will send next batch of emails later. That's why it is interesting to know because it will...

If money come from your personal bank account then your bank account is the source of funds, right? But they want to see how you got your money in a bank account? Will bank statement work in this case where incoming transfer is visible, for example if you get payments from Google Adsense or...

Do you guys have very large accounts, or do they ask supporting documents even for smaller accounts, e.g. less than $100k. What do they mean by source of funds if you send money from your personal bank account? Do they need bank statement? Also money can be your life savings.

I heard that they mainly close accounts with balances less than $10k.

Any way to bypass this problem?

How to disable price caps? It is useless pain in the ass. I could not even close ATM SPY put option (even though spy options are very liquid) position in my paper trading account. Neither market nor limit orders worked. WTF is this shit at all? My version is Build 963.3g, May 30, 2017 4:24:52 PM

They are grayed out in the middle of the day actually, nothing to do with earnings announcements. Also FB and DIS do not have earnings on these days. Something is wrong with IB. Delta is not changing now for both straddles, though price of option legs/spread changes. Maybe I need subscription...

I have added this delta column, but I am not sure it works correctly. Looks like not. For test yesterday I opened DIS and FB straddles. Also yesterday I bought 30 shares (when DIS delta was -0.31) but straddle delta did not change (I thought it would change taking into account stock position)...

Hello. I need help with IB TWS. For example I open 10 contracts straddle spread. Explain me please: 1) How can I see the delta of this spread? When I right click on the spread and select Analytical Tools - Performance Profile, it shows all greeks (gamma theta vega) = 0, and delta always = 10...

No, I do not use this guts spread in trading but I just wondered what would be if both shorts expired in the money. Because I think what is better - iron butterfly (short put and call at the same strike) or iron condor with shorts slightly in the money (one strike ITM) which could provide more...

You mean I can have short and long stock positions simultaneously (my broker is interactivebrokers)? So long stock bought at 55 and short stock sold at 45?

Hi guys. I have a question here. E.g. stock is at 50. I have sold call at 45 and put at 55 (short guts spread). Both options are in the money and will expire in the money. What position will I get when they expire and I am assigned? Will they cancel each other or what will happen? Thank you.

I am interested too.

What are you doing with the gaps?

Hi Guys. Let me know please good books/manuals about how to select stocks to buy based on SEC filings information.What data do I need to search there, etc.

Do you mean scalping few ticks or is it something else?

I have also this strategy (enclosed), which employs protective put. But after thinking about it I think it is not good. Because if stock goes up you will have to spend money for buying new long term puts. Not speaking about loss if stock drops and monthly option is assigned but you cannot...

I heard there is a popular strategy to sell naked put and then, if assigned, sell covered call, if not assigned - sell put again. Let's say stock is $50 and I sell 50 strike put. After a month stock price is $45 and I am assgined long stock at 50 and position now is -$500. Next if I sell 45...

Any opinions why the scanner did find roi in this spread? If I understand correctly there only can be the loss in both naked put sold at 5 and covered put sold at 5.

Looks like it is not a naked put but covered put with a short stock. Then it makes sense. What do you think?
