No. They don't. This is their reply: This is an non-guarantee option combo order which is not guaranteed to be executed proportionally to the required leg ratio although every effort is made to execute the order that way. As each option leg was routed to exchange separately, you may receive...

I can understand your problem, especially if it is a non-guaranteed combo order. In fact, IB will wait until the posted bid or offer to hit pass your limit price, not just meet your limit price. I have many encounters where the order just sitting there despite the bid/offer meet my limit...

I am looking for older versions of TWS too. However the link you provided got the following error: "Unfortunately, the page you are looking for is no longer available." Do you happen to have the new link?

Thank you.

I am new to this thread. Do you mind explaining what does Expectation means? I guess the .7(40) means 70% of gaining the credit of $40; 10% of 260 (Risk or Margin)? Why 10%? Delta 10? Last one .2(130), totally no clue.

Hi risknav, Thanks for your reply. I have got confirmation that the bad tick came from IB. But they are not going to do anything about it. Thanks for explaining the Special Quotation to me. I already got hit on March contract, details here...

risknav, since you trade Nikkei 225 options on futures (SGXNK), do you refer to N225 Index chart? Do you have the same problem as me, as describe here : http://theoptionsjourney.blogspot.sg/2014/04/interactive-brokers-n225-index-charts.html

I wasn't looking for really advanced charting or tick-based data. In fact, I am happy with daily chart. I only use daily/weekly/monthly chart for my option trading. Here is an example of K200 Chart. About 1 weeks of market data down. After they fixed, the 1 week of data is gone...

ya, 'affect' might not be the right word. let me try again. If "Delta is a measure of the change in the options' price resulting from the change in the underlying stock price", so is the measure of the change in Intrinsic Value or Extrinsic Value?

Yes, I know Delta does not change the price. As I said "Delta is a measure of the change in the options' price resulting from the change in the underlying stock price". So, the underlying stock price change, change the option price. Delta is the measure of the change. Just like Vega does...

I got confused with Option Delta. Hope someone can help. I got the following Vega definition at http://www.optiontradingpedia.com/options_vega.htm Options Vega - Introduction There are 2 main component to a stock option's price; Intrinsic Value and Extrinsic Value. The price of the...

Anyone trading KOSPI 200 (K200) or Nikkei 225 (N225) Index Options? I am currently using Interactive Brokers (IB) to trade these two Index Options. I am rather unsatisfied with IB due to the unreliable platform and combo order execution issue for these two options. Any other brokers to...

Hi, I am from Sinapore. Anyone trading Nikkei 225 Index Options and KOSPI 200 Index Options?

Thanks for all the valuable replies. My next question on Adjustment is: WHEN do you adjust? My Short Strike is always far OTM around support/resistance. For Put Spread example, it will be below the support. So, if price didn't fall below the support and my Short Strike, even with...

Say, my take is he price will hit my strike as I believe there is a strong support above it. When price came down fast approaching the strike, I will have unrealized loss. Since it has not hit the support or the strike, my view on the market is still considered not wrong. Didn't want to get out...

1) agreed 2) not so good about price direction. But using support and resistance, can predict where it will not go. 3) I am trying to take advantage of time decay 4) my time to expiration is within 1 month. It is far out of money. So far, it has not hit the strike. But there was once it is...

I am new to Options Trading (about 6 months old, 3 months in demo, 3 months in live). I am mainly sell credit spread (vertical spread). Could be a put or call or both (iron condor) on Equity Index. I am looking for guide/solution on adjustment. How do you do adjustment when your position...
