Hello MTE. The whole thread has been pretty mundane except for your quote above. What is the issue related to using the Analyze Tab in ToS?...
I have a ?4U... Assuming you had the data, how would you backtest? What software would you use? What benefit would intraday tick level data...
Jeez DMO... I have to admit that even I understand that..., and I'll NEVER claim to have a professional-level understanding of options. But in...
Uhhhh... Bubba Gump here... 3.95 bid!
Hey DMO... That is the explanation I needed. You just put the hay down where the goats can get to it! Some people don't mind haggling while...
Thanks for another great reply. You made it easy to see how other MM's jump in and make better B/A's (both sides simultaneously) which creates...
Thanks DMO for a very thoughtful answer. It was my (mistaken) impression that it was in the MM's financial interest to maintain reasonable B/A...

Hey DMO, Sorry to Quote you a 2nd time, but there was something familiar about your comments about managing complex options position(s) by...
A complex reply for sure... but I understand what you are saying even though I would personally get 'bumfuzzeled' trying to figure out the...
So many guys and gals here are on top of their game and can quickly absorb the implications of complex options positions. I've looked at this...
The "trading advice" I devine from Food Network is superior to that given out on CNBC. If I had to rank the relevence of information on CNBC,...
Master of the obvious? Just wanted to join in the useless 'wisecracking'.
Most of the time the MM 'bots' do have it covered. But occasionally you will find Bid/Ask quotes on obscure issues that can yield nice returns...
