Thank you.

Hi, Can someone who uses TOS tell me what exchange $RUT is usually cleared by? OX used to use ISE, but now they appear to be using CBOE which sucks for fills. What does TOS use? Using TOS, can you pick your exchange, say ISE, to try to sell your condor on? frisbeeca

I know this is old but OptionVue 5 has historical option data. They take a snapshot once an hour and you can go back in time and see what happened to your trade.

Yes? Hey, I want Riskarb to win the barrier bets too you know. It seemed to me was getting dogged with barriers just being barely touched the last few times. Just too many times in a row. Awesome job Riskarb seeing that reversal and acting on it. Everyone complimented you already on...

If one barrier is touched, it takes the entire position with it? Meaning the DAX hit causes you to lose the SPX as well? Basically 4 sides to watch instead of 2?

Would a 690/720/750 Butter be a close equivalent, debit of 9?

Just for amusement Riskarb, what would the bet be on the 1190/1320 for 6/14/06? How much moola do you have to put in play to get someone's attention?

Yes, understood. I was looking at SPM6 futures just to get a feel for the open tomorrow and see how things might go for your barrier position.

At 7:50pm PDT, it was at 1251... Only during market hours is determination of whether the barrier is hit made? You definitely had to act decisively under pressure. That's serious cash on the table... Thank you for letting us watch it. And may it turn out in your favor...

Pitchfork question: Is the main idea of the PF because the volatility of the puts is skewed higher than the volatility of the calls so you can make more money? Would you use a PF on the SPX index or is that mainly for an index that has no futures behind it?

5 RUT 660/670/770/780 June Iron Condors @ 2.00

Would you do a June NDX Vertical in the calls, say 1625/1600 or ...?

OK, I'll bite. I'm the noobie so couple of questions: Two week play is the easy part. You want the SPX to be between 1277-1297 by May 29th, right(???) What type of bad news happens if the 1277 barrier is hit (or is it good?) ? Is this sorta a similar play, or not even close: Sell 10 June...

Look forward to your sharing... very cool. I did your PF (tm) on the SOX index in a paper trade and man, did it work out. frisbeeca

Riskarb, what do you think about a strangle on GOOGster? Short 10 Jun450 Calls, Short 10 Jun390 Puts for a credit of 20? B.E. is between 370 and 470...?

For Optioncoach and 1000 pages!

Hey, where do you trade futures SP if you don't mind me asking? I haven't been able to find them on OX but that could just be me. What are the option symbols? Thank you for sharing...
