Coach, Correct me if I am wrong, but I would like to restate that this repair strategy does not work unless you have a risk based margin system...
I think this is a very relavant issue, and I would like to learn more about it. To me the more "professional" we can all become the better off we...
Let me ask some overly simple questions. Why can only prop shop traders and market makers get a risk based haircut? Do they have to be...
Just my 2c, but I was all hot and bothered for a bit on trying to find out info on options on futures, applying the same strategy we do here....
Maybe they turned that option on for you, but if I put up a option chain on the SPX, select put spreads, and click on the bid of a spread I want...
Sold the 1200/1190's for .05. Picked up the 1250/1240 for .30. Took about 5min total. sd
I'm looking to close out the 1200/1190 I have for a nickel. Any opinions on rolling up to the 1245/1255's in Jan? 8 days left and that would be...
I don't believe there is a "full fill only" with OX trading spreads. If there is, I can't find it. TOS users, does tos allow a all-or-none on...
Wow, just got back home and this spread is now 1.95x2.2.20. I was looking at it for .45 back in the 1255 area. Murray, are you holding on?...
Since our Santa stayed at home this year, is anyone scalping some extra premium by selling Jan Call Spreads to form a IC with our puts? I was...
Does this happen "auto-magiclly"? For example, if I trade in 100lots and I only shave .05 off the Mid, will this guy try and push my order ahead...
Can you define what you mean by Ticket Charges? IB's commish schedule is hard to understand. And yes, they do have cancel/replace charges....
I agree. I think XSpreads is basically a waste of time, but the concept he's talking about exists on OX and TOS.
Isn't this exactly what OptionsXpress's XSPREADS orderbook marketplace is? A internal market to OX that allows users to see what other's are...
I'm actively demoing IB right now. I can say for certain their web trader platform sucks, and their mobile trader only allows you to view...
Just wondering what is the lowest option commish out there with a quality firm. I trade about 130 contracts/month. Right now I have 1.25 with...
Your analysis is correct, maybe I'm just jaded because I've gotten burned so many times on close to the money spreads that end up costing me...
I just have to post this. Back in the day, I had a subscription to Schaffer's Wealthbuilder when I really didn't know what I was doing. Needless...

Since I'm bored, let me ask. What exactly is Trip-Witch? And why would it push the market in a positive direction when a market is trending?...
