Btw, do you guys do US options?

Oh that really makes sense, lol.

Also wondering why the bond world never fully decimalized.

Any logical reason my IB does this?

I thought the displays were in 64ths!

Figured out my mistake, I think. Thanks

I bought a future this morning at 114'265, according to IB’s trade history, (or 114 17/64 or 114.265 -- my math.) But in the TWS portfolio page it has under "average price" column 114.83125 and a "cost basis" column of 114.830. I had a short call I bought back for a small profit earlier in...

Ah, interesting. Didn’t know this. Thanks much for your erudition, once again.

So, if you do nada, you are short shares — briefly, technically, suddenly, whatever — even if there are no shares available for shorting? How does that happen? Is it just an accounting entry? But what if I don’t cover? These phantom shorts live on?

You know, I know delta hedging and short squeezes, but gamma squeeze? Is this a result of a short squeeze, causes a short squeeze or independent of a short squeeze?

Is there any reason I would want to lose the premium? What if no short stock exists?

So, in such a situation, I can do nothing and automatically get the cash equal to the strike price?

Are brokers or the OCC obligated to exercise an ITM put into cash at the strike price if shares are not available to short, which is what usually occurs if the holder does nothing, right?

Is there a daily service, newsletter or web site that provides a list of all the futures a trend follower might watch, with their, say, MA points, or channels ,or other possibly useful information for whether a trend is forming, established or detrending?

I would do further research on this, I were you.

The options on UVXY are not linked to the price of the etf, UVXY? Is that what you are saying?

Thanks. I wonder why I get a different delta — -44 — on thinkorswim? And -20 on Fidelity.

UVXY Jan 26 P 26 I’m not sure if any of the Greeks, first- or second-order, are very useful for LEAPS. Maybe one of the Greeks experts on here knows the answer. Might be a good academic research paper: “Do Greeks Matter For LEAPS?”

During the recent vol spike, my long put ATM UVXY LEAPS, expiring in 27 months, barely moved in price, fortunately. How long, or how far OTM or ITM, until should I expect significant price movement from a similar spike, should that happen. Any measurements for this, Greek I should watch closely...

I’m anticipating my taxes for next year, and I understand that Schwab/TOS will not segregate my profits/losses on UVXY OPTIONS onto the simple Sec. 1256 IRS form that trading futures and some other products automatically generate. So, what is the best way to break these options trade out from my...
