  1. I've experienced no vol-shading during the last qtr. I booked a 70% return on the account before wiring out the gains. The fills were instantaneous. I run my rfq against the demo platform as well -- identical debits.

  2. Is that a real sentence or you just pulling our legs lol. It is like Cliff Clavin working at a hedge fund :D

    [Boston Accent]: Well you know Normie, uh it is not uncommon at times to abrogate some discrete diametric outliers. No, no.... in fact the Ancient Egyptians were first credited with basketing long gamma during the rainy season.

    Next time I am at a party, I am going to spit that out and try and imrpess some people...

  4. Risk,

    I want to wish much success.

    Will you be able to post charts showing what you are doing with the greeks ? Kind of a 3-D film strip ? That would be interesting.

    I am sure many would appreciate it.(if it's possible or doable of course)

    Good trading to you!

    :)

    riskarb, don't you think that the box-options
    (touch/notouch) at Oanda are unfairly priced?
    It's a rip off...
    At least, that's the conclusion I reached sometime
    ago with some simple calculations.

    Ok, you'll be fine with 10MM. When you get up to a few hundred million and you are looking for someone to manage the equity book give me a call. :D
