Selling options is much like running an insurance business. It can be profitable, but insurance companies do go bankrupt.
Still not clear to me. The question is, essentially, which exchanges have all the limit orders displayed, regardless where the orders are from (MM...
You are talking about the "SMART" routing most brokerages offer, but you can also use the direct routing, i.e. sending orders directly to the...
Can you tell me what route destinations I should select to access the dark liquidity? Does CBOE or AMEX have any dark liquidity?
I doubt if you route your order to CBOE you'll go through the dark pools.

New to options. After reading the basics one question arises is this: if there is an increased asymmetric demand for calls and thus driving up its...

Per capita income $46k? That's GDP not income! Every prisoner generates about $50k GDP per year.
But if you don't report the short sales (the "sell to open"), there will be a huge discrepancy with the 1099 your broker sent to IRS, because...
