Hello everyone ! Imagine simple situation, I'm long some ordinary US stock (let it be IBM) and short another ordinary US stock (let it be MO). During this particular year I have received $1000 in dividends from IBM and I also paid $1000 dividends as a short seller to an owner of MO shares ...

So you think that they want to know source of all the money that I have ? For example if there are money on banking account that is not related to IBKR then they still want to know how have I gained it (inheritance/salary etc) ? Or if I have a house then I should explain where did I get money...

Could you please clarify , what is the difference between "Source of funds" and "Source of wealth" ? It's not clear for me...

I'm in the same boat. Source of Wealth and Proof of Identity requests. Also outside of US and trading as an individual. Problem is that I have deposited quite a small amount of money 10+ years ago and later just compounded it for many years so it's really not clear what can I send as "Source of...

Sure, it opens in Excel. It's CSV file. You can use in the same way as you do with XLS file.

If anyone is still concerned I had the same problem. I've messaged CBOE and that is the solution - You can find a list of all listed options here: http://markets.cboe.com/us/options/market_statistics/symbol_reference/?mkt=cone&listed=1&unit=1&closing=1 . You'll want to sort by the symbol...

Unfortunately I can't , I'm not in US and connectivity here is quite limited .

Does this logic also works for very high strikes ? For example do I also have high risk of puts assignment if I sell 150 call and buy 150 put in the example above ?

Thanks for your answer. I never faced this situations before so in practical meaning it's not clear for me whether the probability of short call being assigned depends on moneyness or not. I suppose that if for example stock is fluctuating between 100 and 110 then call with strike 100 has less...

Hello everyone ! I would appreciate help regarding my question. Let's imagine that there is an optionable stock and company don't pay any dividends. Options are priced so far as there will be no dividends at year 2020. I'm ready to bet that the company will start to pay big dividends soon but...

Post an update later about that, pls. I would like to be wrong actually :)

You will not be able to trade with RPi 4. IB offers only x86 linux package , it's impossible to run it on ARM processor. The only option is using of emulator but it is ridiculously slow. Some guys reported that it takes 1-2 minutes just to launch a browser in emulated windows envoronment. And...

As you can see in first message, one of my questions was exactly about the amount of money that I should invest in fund initially.

Hello, anyone ! I’m an individual trader managing my own funds. Right now I’m seriously considering creating my own hedge fund. I do not have any significant experience in this area, so I decided to ask few questions here. Two main points for me are 1) Availability of my fund’s...

Hello all ! I'm a newbie to Amibroker, trying to implement simple automated trading system, so can anyone explain one thing about Amibroker and IB interoperability. IB can give quotes for spreads between futures, that trades as spread by itself. For instance CLK8 quote can be 100.5 bid...

Just wanted to point out that it's incorrect to look just on VIX and not on futures, so the odds are really better than someone could suppose at first sight . Of course, if VIX grows above 50, loss is inevitable.

You forgot that these option's underlying is May08 futures, but not the VIX itself. So there was nothing wrong with this position at January, because of strong backwardation in VIX futures. Highest price for may futures was 28 at 22/1/2008, so that's ok. Certainly, more threat will appear...

Can anybode explain, why options on January08 contract are so cheap ? Straddle is just about 2 (0.99+0.96) without slippage for options that will expire in nearly 11 months (14dec07). This is contract on new harvest and in 2006 movements were quite broad (from 18 to 11). I do not understand...

Just downloaded 1min ER2 data from anfutures.com (from 2001-12-14 to 2005-03-09) and after some playing with it, I'd like to exchange this one on some other e-mini futures data (ym, nq, es ...) of the same kind. If someone is interested, mail me at ghb@mail.ru.
