*Save for boxes, rolls, conversions(reversals). There is edge in skew when keeping the down and out legs narrow into the skew(terminal edge vs. req); predicting smile (Derman) on LVLD; risk reversals; even structuring short vols/short delta. I am not referring to static edge at inception but betting on skew dynamics BAE. I am not stating that I trade for skew as a priority, but it's involved in everything I do. If you can trade vol then you know what I am referring to in the above. If you don't, and you're profitable, then you're better off simply trading D1.
TOS is superior than IB?? Seriously??? ROFL!!! If TOS is your idea of a platform that's better than IB, you are definitely nothing but a pathetic troll. There is no way you are a serious trader. LOL This explains why I was like speaking to a wall. Ok anyway putting you on Ignore, not blocking @taowave. Get the jargon right!! LOL
What is the difference, ignore/block. You can't tolerate being corrected and run away. It makes sense to ignore/block those who constantly attack others and cause discontent wherever they surface but ignoring or blocking someone just because you can't deal with their different take on issues is juvenile. You harm yourself the most by missing out on content by those who know a little more about options pricing and trading than you.
When you get thru page 7 of Macmillian,let's talk... Until then, keep up the incoherent rants on structures you never traded because of commissions
IBKR can't perform basic arithmetic on verticals let alone correctly calculate your PM haircut. They cut your server connection daily for maintenance and they suck for locates and they still charge comms. They offer foreign futures which is nice, but for US equities/vol they are shit. Their analytics? lol.
