Market Makers Approach to Options Trading

*Spits beverage at TheDawn*

Do you feel sorry for yourself now?

I believe this is somehow in vogue as of recent.

“I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.”
 
I would have to get the same deal as I get at TOS so IB is out..I trade 100 lots to squeeze out 3 -6 cents..its very labor intensive and I probably trade close to 1000000 contracts per year..i can use a break
structural arb, love it. hope you become a footnote in TD's 10-k.
 
What I dont get is why the market makers refuse to trade with someone due to their status Why were they filling me all day long as a retail schmuck,but wont go near me now that I have the Pro badge??

Makes no sense....
makes perfect sense. if you were a MM (or any competitor/counterparty) do you want to take the other side of a chump or a shark. These MM are bots and change quotes and size depending on other side.
However, it not making sense to you means the MM are giving up $
 
Just wanted to say thanks for the Webinar. This time I made sure to set my alarm.

It's been a while now since I read Sheldon's book Option Volatility & Pricing, and I confess some of the dynamic hedging stuff went over my 'inexperienced' head a little at the time. I still plan to give it a re-read down the road. It was nice to see a re-hash of it by the author, and now I get to say that I 'technically' have seen Natenberg 'live'. Haha. :thumbsup:
