    Magic, thanks again for your insights, though I still don't understand a lot of what you say. As for having an edge, or "alpha", I certainly...

  8. 10-Delta Short Strangles

    I tried it in a TW acct a few weeks ago and was seeing margin requirements 2 to 3 times as large as the TDA paper-money acct, so I bet that's what...
