the wily germans declared war on france and i jolly well joined, bullied them with 2 catapults, 2 knights and 1 swordsman...my new musketman marched too slowly and arrived too late for the fun!

It has to be Civilization series...Latest is Civ 5. I played as the Chinese and just discovered oil by 1460 and built 90% of all available wonders up to now...muahaha.. hehe..seriously when i stopped trading when i started playing Civ 5 for 2 full days

I think it is better to just sell off the futures options? Time value will be lose if we exercise the option before it expires. Correct me if i m wrong?

yah...i basically wrote off my loss after i posted on this thread back a few months ago but was quite surprised with the good will from IB. They certainly do listen to their customers but the process is just a bit too long.

well what can I said...there's nothing for me to post in the forum before this incident.. i was angry with IB, but lets just move on..probably I will not get thing back. I bought back my ETFs, bought back some verticals..and continued to trade...though after may expiry, no more options...
