    Making Mad Money with Jim Cramer

    Apologies if there's any misunderstanding, and I have no intention to praise or bash Cramer. I meant, how well this strategy will work, trading the picks he stressed by the rules you set. By the end of the year, regardless the return of this strategy, you have done your job as a trader, that's...

    Is My Ira Safe With Ib Whats Ins Limits?

    This RFX thing really brought up the hidden risk that we normally don't think about. As I can see, Roth IRA and regular IRA are same account category, except for the difference in tax consequence at withdraw. Using Roth as example, does IRS allow you to open a 2nd Roth account with...

    Is My Ira Safe With Ib Whats Ins Limits?

    It's easy to spread out non-IRA accounts with different brokers to keep balance below 100K. But with IRA accounts, this is a real dilemma. Is there a way to spread a Roth IRA account between 2 brokers to keep balance under 100K? Not that I know of, anyway.

    STUPID MISTAKES ... poll

    Thanks, Scientist, for the explanation. The reason that I asked for your explanation is that I have these conflicting thoughts myself. I tend to trade intraday swings, but, as you know, the line between intraday swing trading and scalping is very thin. Often I start out with a swing plan...

    STUPID MISTAKES ... poll

    Hi Scientist, Could you explain some of the errors you listed in your log in Trade Management section. For instance, "Let a winning trade turn into a loser"--you planned a 2-point stop on the mini with a 2-3 point target and it went 1 point in your favor, you stuck to your plan and didn't...

    Who's an Optionetics Grad?

    Perhaps McMillan expends too many words to be comprehensive, hence the heavy tome, so good to go back to certain sections from time to time. But when it comes to nuances and subtleties as relate to trading options, Naterberg is the best.

    volga, Regarding the fly, high vol will make it cheaper as vol affect strikes closer to the price more than further out or in. I guess I understand that. But again, we were talking about IC, though IC has the same profile except for the wider body, and I was asking about selling IC, to...
