    SpreadProfessor Clients - Thanks !

    Bone I am interested in your service. I think being taught by a successful Trader is great and $7,500.00 isn't too much to pay. It only takes a few Trades to cover the $7,500.00 fee, also the $7,500.00 will also be offset against profits at the end of the tax year. I don't understand why more of...

The only way to only have software running on your PC that u need for trading is to have a Trading PC and have no other software installed on it...

    Shorting the SPY in Retail Account Possibly Forced to Cover Position

    Thanks for the replies. My broker is I.B so I am hoping its a email generated glitch as zdreg mentioned. Good idea to use Options if it happens again in the future. Will stick to trading liquid stocks/ETF'S.

    Shorting the SPY in Retail Account Possibly Forced to Cover Position

    I have been trading stocks for a while now and have never had this problem before as I stick to trading liquid large cap stocks. I set up a new trading account 3 months ago with my current broker. In the last few days I got an email stating I might be forced to exit a short position on 400 SPY...

    Vacation Trader

    My Brokerage was okay with me trading from a different country. First time I tried to log into my account I was blocked as location was different but after I called them and ran through security they unblocked my account. No problem with execution as I am not a scalper and made sure I had a good...

    Gamma Scalping

    So are you saying trade spreads where there is a difference in Vol but keep it delta neutral with adjustments by buying and selling stock.

    Gamma Scalping

    No Offence taken. I have just started looking at trading Options and freely admit I have got a lot to learn before I can be a profitable options trader, but its a fascinating subject.

    Gamma Scalping

    This post really highlighted where I have been going wrong. I have been paper trading this strategy as if its a Free Lunch. I didn't want to have any directional bias and expected Vol to go in my favour.

    Gamma Scalping

    Gamma Scalping

    I am buying 10 SPY ATM Calls about 90 days out and shorting stock against the Call to make the position deltas neutral. I am adjusting the stock position every time its +100 and -100 delta's but as I said previously the scalps just cover the time decay.

    Gamma Scalping

    I have been paper trading Gamma Scalping but the best I can do is break even. The profits I can earning from the scalps just cover the time decay on the call option. I liked the idea of gamma scalping when I was researching different option strategies because I can remain delta neutral.
