You're >99% probably right (minus the hyperbole) that it will never print. That's a lot of margin to pick up pennies, though, and I don't...
Nice ad for your software. At 12:10, you state "84% of the time the stock closed below the high in the first 30 minutes." Nobody can profit from...
I'll sell you my house for 75 Honda Civics, please! LOL!! o_O I think we're reading "alternatives to fiat currency" (correctly) as things that...
Just as you suspect, you can't let the entire calendar spread expire because it consists of two futures that expire on different dates. When the...
Steakhouse, not DQ. Read the article. (Point still taken.)
Don't worry. Turns out it's $27 million AUD, so that's "only" $19 million USD and they'll actually go to a steakhouse with up to seven guests so...

In Jan/Feb, people reduced exposure and/or hedged for this amount of drawdown, so VIX in the upper-20s is about right. If/when we go down...
Yes, you're obviously right. I figured that would go without saying. It's just an example. Portfolio margin is also another kettle of fish....
I don't think anyone answered this question yet. 30 points on the ES x $50/point. -> $1500/contract. With Interactive Brokers, I get an...
