Baron, is there a reason why my comment has to be moderated first before it appears? Thanks.

Hi Baron, sorry to ask personally as I am new and not sure where to go. My question is on vertical spreads. With any a margin acct and having maintenance requirements, can you do vertical spreads where all you have to do is let them expire without any exercising of either side and just receive the limited loss or gain. I hope it is clear what I am asking. Thank you very much in advance! Chris

Hi Baron, is there a way to start a private thread w/ someone who does not make their profile visible ?

can a member expose your identity on here?

Thank you Baron. That information is both insightful and very helpful. I will try and convince the powers that be this is a great marketing opportunity for their array of products (not just options), an untapped potential customer base. They have some competitors on here who are longtime sponsors, which should hopefully wake them up.

Hi Baron. Before deciding on whether to become a sponsor, my vendor would like to know how many total active members are on Elite Trader. And out of all those members, how many would you say are professional (sophisticated) vs retail ("mom and pop")?

Thanks again.

Thanks for the recommendation, Baron. Can I ask why the Options Forum slot is more expensive than the other sponsorship slots?

Thanks Baron. So no more than a couple of thousand. Absolutely a niche market - small audience. However, this niche market is willing to pay a much higher premium than retail if the product or service helps their bottom line.

I'll check to see if they are interested. Which type of sponsorship would you recommend? TT already has the coveted "Trading Software" forum sponsor spot.

Potential Homepage or Forum Sponsorship for a trading platform that uses my algos.

Hi Baron,

Could I get an estimate of how many of your members are professional option traders? I've noticed most are retail equity customers who trade individual accounts via platforms such as TOS or IB. Would like to know what portion of ET's actively viewing audience (your best guess) professionally day trades, runs an options-centric CTA, hedge fund, etc.
