I normally try and stay away from pointless arguments on the net with strangers I'm never going to meet regarding things which aren't that...
I found the solution to your problem - this is what you do. Ring up your doctor, and tell him that you are suffering from a serious lack of common...
@Robert Morse , a couple of direct question pls if I may : 1) do you take on clients who reside in the UK? If 'yes', then..... 2) how do your...
Thanks @FSU. Just had a quick look at livevol.com, and I cannot justify spending $300/month on the information I am looking for. Currently, I...
Is anyone else thinking that there is valuable content in this thread, if only....if only....we could have a clear picture of what OP is actually...
Thanks all for the responses. On the face of it, IB's "Complex Orders and Trades Scanner" seemed to fit the bill.....but...it does state that it :...

So, were your Put strikes 2930-2925? (Shorts being 2930, and longs 2925). If so, then did the overall trade not make a loss as the premium you...
