    The singular form of implied volatility per underlying

    It is my understanding that every option in a chain has its own unique implied volatility, so where does the singular form of implied volatility per underlying come from? I see it most often when I am charting implied volatility versus historical volatility, and things like that. I was thinking...

    Early assignment on the short leg of a spread?

    That's very good advice Mark, I had a support request pending with my broker in parallel with this question, time was getting tight... turns out my assumption was correct, with a vertical spread, I can just exercise the long call in the event the short call is assigned early, it will negate the...

    Early assignment on the short leg of a spread?

    If you’re in a vertical spread, and the short option gets assigned early --- and you don’t have enough capital in the account to cover the margin on being short the stock --- will the long option be auto exercised early to cover it? Or basically, how bad could I be screwed by a situation...

    moving average

    The ma you're using is based on the close, does it use the "last" price before the bar finally closes? How often do you get opposing signals within the same active bar?

    News feed for *just* earnings announcements?

    Kartik… have you done any follow up on the symbols that typically get missed? Just a hunch, but they might be thinly traded, or penny stocks, or something you might not want to be involved with anyway. i’d say its pretty lousy if even the freebie sites miss announcements on major index...

    News feed for *just* earnings announcements?

    try briefing.com too but any site you use, check to see if the list publishes all at the same time as a whole list, or if it updates continuously item per item... just fyi, its one of the major snags i ran into when having my own software scrape earnings calendars off of free websites.

    Position Trader Price Analysis

    The open, high, low, and close are all equally important to me. It would be like chopping off one of my limbs to not use one of them. You could probably get a better answer if you stated why you are asking this question, like why are you looking to emphasize one over the others, what is your...

    Does the futures has any influence over the cash index ?

    There is nearly free money on the table when ever there is a separation in price between two products that are supposed to track the same underlying. a profit equal to the spread can be easily captured by shorting the higher priced one and getting long of the lower priced one. The profit from...

    3 external VGA monitors via USB ports on HP Notebook

    I don’t know where to find it for that specific model, but it’s a display link enabled monitor. Samsung only makes the casing and the screen, they license the software driver and the hardware that decodes the usb signal from displaylink, so you can defer directly to displaylink for supported...
