Thx, but as many times explicitly stated: I don't need any unasked help or advice. I hope you can respect this, thx. And this is just a journal...
I'm a patient person... :) Just apply maths, because the orderbook is like a "fair machine". I'm making use of it with the help of maths and...
I told you: I don't use market orders, so slippage can't happen with limit orders... So, no surprises here... I'm using probabilities and...
Thx but I'm comfortable with the way I do. I assume you mean assignments. Sure that happens... :) But it's already counted-in in my method.

One shortcoming of TWS' OptionTrader is that the "Check Margin" button (or the context menu item) works only if the order has not been submitted...
@optioncoach, stop lying! Because this is live trading since Friday! The above screenshot is from live trading! Paper accounts have a 1M funding,...
