Thanks again man. Hope that whiskey hangover is fading.

One last question, does a option spread routed on TOS on the default setting show up on the COB?

Thanks man. Happy new year.

Thanks Bob, as someone who primarily trades spreads, flies, etc., does that mean when entering them on TOS i should specify a routing imstruction or just keep the default and it will post it on all exchanges? Sorry for the lack of inderatanding, been trading for 2p years but am new to the...

I have accounts at both IB and TOS. I have always used IB for my active trading because of the low commissions. Lately on a few ocasiina i have had spread orders that were not filling at IB. Just for fun i would put the same order in on TOS and it filled instantly while my IB order still sat...

Td AMeritrade Strategy Desk isnt bad for a beginner and there are no platform fees.

Exactly my point. No possible way you could ever keep all those people quiet. Anyway, I feel dumber even having replied this many times so I will remove myself from the discussion as this has no place in a forum about trading.

I worked as a contractor for nearly every branch of goverment over the past 15 years. I find it hard to believe that the same people who cannot properly navigate the simple task of buying a toilet seat could pull off this kind of coverup. For Gods sake, thewhitehouse can't even keep its email...

Thanks for the reply yucca, I agree with what you are saying. I guess my biggest concern is just the overnight catastrpohic blowout on a given spread. Thats what scared me off of my strategy. Something like a Bear Stearns collapse could really cripple a strategy like this cause it happens...

Thanks for posting your thread. I have enjoyed reading it and it is very well written. I have been running a similar strategy. My biggest problem was that although I was successfull about 90% of the time, it would be the one or two big losers that would almost detroy all the gains from the...

trends matter but if there was a easy solution to your problem then we would all be retired... Have you tried using a much shorter MA for your sells and stick with the longer for your buys? May get whipsawed more but should be able to lock in gains a little quicjker before you dump all the...

cutting rates does not help subprime borrowers.. Mortgae rates are long term so the fear of inflation dictates the rate.. Now the primary fear is inflation so rate cuts are not affecting mortgages at all. We are almost in a state where further rate cuts may actually push mortgage rates higher.

I don't know who is dumber, the original poster or the people replying to him and arguing what return he can make.. or, maybe it is me for taking the time to read this and reply

I honestly cant see the stock trading much below its book value of $28 (or whatever it is now) or selling for less.. I think a buyout in the 50 range is a good assumption. They have plenty of assets, it is just a liquidity problem.

Shameless bump..... anyone?

Hello all, I was hoping someone could point me to where i could find the TICK for indidual NASDAQ Indexes such as the NASDAQ Bank Index and the NASDAQ Computer Index , etc. I know the symbols to get the TICK for the NYSE or the NASDAQ but i was wondering how I can go about gettin it for...

I wish my hangover would have been invalid.

Hello all. First I would like to say thank you to everyone who posts on Elite Trader. I love all the responses and even the ones that are sarcastic. I have been day trading for a while and have done fairly well. I would say I almost meet the definition of a scalper but I am usually in...
