If you don't like the "bots", go to a higher timeframe. ES on a daily basis, or even a 60 minute basis filters out a lot of the noise. Whether...
This decision is absolutely brilliant. While IB could have done something to allow for automated logins (generate a public/private key, have an...
I know many traders who went from floor to screen back in the 80s when a modem was the size of a microwave oven, and a TRS-80 was the highest tech...
My point was this: You can get a delta of .99 buying a SLAB Apr 25 call for $580. To get the same delta, you'd have to buy a Oct 17.5 call...
I said nothing of the sort. I even cited a web site that thinks his method is crap. Dykstra has rambled at length about why he is buying deep...
I'm guessing you're just jerking us around. I've now explained this 5 times. MTE has tried once. If you still do not understand, trading is not...
Wow. I'm not sure any interface could possibly make me pay 13 times more than IB. And believe me, I've seen Man's, so I've seen as bad as it...
Are you sure? SLAB 22.5 calls with an IV of 27.5%. Apr: 1.0 May: .9996 Oct: .9695 If the OP is interested in very ITM option buys, Lenny...
It is almost never better to buy calls in a long term situation. If their expiration is too far in the future, your delta (i.e. the amount of...
Yen calendar spreads can be quoted in halves. If you remove decimal points entirely, you have 85005 as half way between 8500 and 8510. Doesn't...
$12.50 is the $ value per tick. .000001 is the tick size. So, a contract move of .000001 = $12.50 $12.50 / .000001 = $12,500,000...
sparky-did you buy one? I'd be concerned how the IDEM and GEM seats will be merged in the future, but if you get a seat with stock, it's not a...
What is the multiplier for the yen contract? If you buy a yen contract for .008543 and it goes up to .008544, how much did you make? If you...
I've used Lind and Man. Stay verrrry far away. The fills were pretty good in some markets, but their back office is insane. I closed my...
So, I've been updating my fundamental spreadsheets in preparation for the planting report on Friday and noticed something pretty bizarre....
Ouch. This is setting yourself up for some serious pain. Unless you have a pretty thorough understanding of the convex nature of options, you're...
âGive a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetimeâ I've given you all the...
Given CBOT's pro-rata price matching algorithm on the 5 year, you may NEVER get filled on the bid or offer with anything less than a few thousand...
fandyur, I'm spending some time with this, but I'm not sure how you're creating the "netlg" column. I've updated the spreadsheet for 3/20...
The bid/ask you're competing against is generally very large. The moves occur on the floor, in my experience. As a result, it seems unlikely you'd...
