So when they go to pennies, will that convert you or are there still other irritations such as theta and vol crush? Also, out of curiosity, what...
Maybe I'm missing something, but with earnings season and shorts getting beaten up on this rally, I see so many threads here about not getting out...
Wouldn't one want to play earnings with some sort of ratio backspread strategy? It seems like buying or shorting a stock around earnings is just...
Well, they went from pay to non-pay if that's of any consolation.
Have you used OpenTick on RightEdge (www.rightedgesystems.com)? RE is in beta, but I'm using it now. Haven't used OT on RE yet, but would be...
I must admit, I'm almost all technical and nearly automated as well. I do some fundies once a quarter and trade on technicals 100% after that...
Personally, I think 6K is way under capitalized. It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders though and just weighing the possibility....

Mo, I think they offer more than OpenTick, or at least their data provider list in the software shows more in the drop down. I talked with them...
I'm looking at vertical spread quotes in IB and noticing something I haven't seen before. A bear put spread (DEC 130/126) has a B/A spread of...
$3500 to open a ToS acct. Hmmm.
I'm in the same boat. Have an IB acct, no real interest in a ToS account except for the software and forking over 3K is a bit much at this stage...
I had a feeling I'd get that answer. Also, "volatility is real, your gut means squat" was an acceptable answer. :D Thanks a lot for...
What weighs heavier when deciding to open a DD? Volatility or market feel? Meaning, everyone "feels" that the market is over bought at this...
OK, I decided to buy back my short put so now I'm going to be even more bearish (which is my bias at this time) and will adjust this when my...
