because I find it unlikely the stock will be above 5 dollars by mid December and if it is then it is still a nice gain. This is also in a Roth IRA and I plan on holding for years buy and hold. So selling covered calls seems like a low risk way to make extra cash.

Ok, I'm curious what would happen here. I have a 4,300 shares of a rather volatile stock that is currently 3.53 per share. I have a GTC order to sell 40 December calls at a 5.00 strike for .20. .20 is the current low ask and it was .25 before I placed my gtc order. My only concern is that...

will IB be having a 2006 total year statement of trades, and if so when?

I thought You needed 50% of the position size for US stocks. For weeks I have held the same positions which has me leveraged with only about 33% of the total. These arent the numbers, but my example is that my Net liquidation value is 10,000 yet IB has let me hold 30,000 worth of US stocks...

I managed to lose my tradelog records along with the backup. I use IB and am trying to import the monthly statements through april into a new log, but It doesn't import correctly, it seems as though none of the closing trades are recording, only the opening trades. I was thinking it could be...

I bought a new laptop and built a new PC. I want to run benchmarks on the cpu and harddrives and ram, what are some good programs I can use to compare the two?

LILBOY716 I think your missing that point, that even with 32 bit applications the Athlon 64 performs better in most benchamrks and is cheaper than the comparible petium 4. So its not a waste of money

I also have to recommend IB I'v never had a problem with them. By far the best retail broker I'v ever used.

"The difference between my total account value and what my total account value is fell to beloew $2000" That was supposed to be the difference between my options value and account value fell below $2000. I'm not sure if it was immediate, I had to leave for a while. I know options are cash...

there is something very fishy about this post. I get the feeling daytraderpete and uni are either the same person or are working together. Just the way they are going about posting and the fact the are both junior members with 20 something posts doesn't help.

Do any of the tools that work with IB allow you to have trades set to be executed at certain times, when your not there, or allow you to have one trade made, before submiting the next. Or anything along those lines?
