Assuming it's not currently at 3 with a yearly range of 0.1, a daily volume of 100, and wasn't created with MS Paint, I might consider it. What...
Well, if you actually do take the 0.1 seconds it requires to cut and paste the link in to your browser, you'll see that it's pretty much as...
Read up on money management as that tends to be the last thing most people focus on when they start out (it was for me). Tharp's book "Trade Your...
From using IB (had an account for about 5 years), here's the pros and cons that I've found: PROS Trade almost anything under the sun(except...
Very. You might want to look at the volume that was traded. It basically doubled for a profit of $0.07/share, which means you'd need a boatload...
Could you explain how you are going to "arb" it? I'm not familiar with that terminology. Thanks
Same thing happened a few years back with the MSFT special dividend ($3). Option strike prices were adjusted accordingly, so, as was mentioned...
If you have 5k for your account, my advice would be to start with the sim account to learn the basics of your trading platform. When you feel...

Yep, this trade is going to go through and maybe it's worth $100. If that's the case and it can be manipulated and those who can manipulate it...
ThinkorSwim will allow you to do this quite easily, although I think if you want the sequential orders to have sequence chains as well you might...
An even lazier option is to just export your executions to an Excel file (since ET supports those uploads). I think most brokers support that as well.
Do you have a basket of stocks that you pull from or do you grab whatever meets your screening criteria? Are you primarily a smaller-volume stock...
Jeff, perhaps you could just post a quick screen grab of your executions for the day? That's nice and compact and doesn't take much time (or share...
I expect it to pass, if it doesn't, then it would probably really tank, but I'm taking a shot that there could be some near term weakness that...
Thinking of going long Jan10-90 Puts. Target is somewhere in the recent gap (ideally the close of the gap, but we'll see how it responds)....
