1st attempt didn't work, although he seemed to agree. I think he tries again.
I'll stand by my decision (offer).

Hmm. he is again back to -2.5%... Too bad... Never mind... Time&TheCrowd are on my side.
Sooner or later he will cross my exit point... :-)
He should be glad that I ask only for 3% whereas he had dropped my position by 8% !

Yippea! :-) I won! :-) I had to use 350k to finally win this battle.
Acct now: +28k (+5.6%).
Unfortunately I've neglected some other positions while fighting with the EDZ MM guy. For example two C option strikes had already brought much profit but I haven't closed them, now they unfortunately dropped... :-( But I think it will come back to previous levels again.

It seems I'll make most of my profits today from SPY. Not sure yet, but I tend to concentrate myself on this instrument alone.

Yes, I had success with SPY: made 16.8k
But... the bad news is: I have big problems with an other stock :-(
I made some significant losses with it (about 8k loss), but the battle is not decided yet.
It is my bloodiest day since I started. But I still have hope to turn the situation into my favor. Hope it will work out... Things are still going on...
 
Ok, regarding CBY: it was a hard fight, but I nevertheless succeeded!

But there is a minor problem if it interest you: in IB Demo your account every day restarts with 500k (actually you get assigned a new account every day, so every 24h it logs you off).
I have not closed my position but left it open, together with 2 close orders
for the above instrument (options of CBY).
Now after relogin and getting a new account I no longer can control my said position in the previous account.
But: I have made screenshots before logging out. And we can see how CBY continous doing. I'm sure my first order has been filled. The 2nd order was placed higher and it will take some time.
The first order was about half of the position (1st=200 + 2nd=354 = 554 options total of the same strike).

Ok, this trade was very exceptional because I used (I had to use!) very much capital (about 450k ! :-)

More info together with the screenshots will follow soon....

Update: in Time&Sales I see right now that there is not much left for filling also the 2nd order!

Update2: Ok. also the 2nd order has been filled!
I closed this position with much profit. I must calc it (manually) together now...

My first close order was placed at 9.70 and the second at 11.10.
The market price (Bid) is now 11.30 --> so mission accomplished! :-)
