I entered DAX and it said I don't subscribe to that market data (TSE). I have been experiencing this with ordinary near term slightly OTM calls on...
IB's TWS default option model always shows extremely low prices (far below market) for every single call I have entered. Do you consider these...
IB emails me my statements, at least 8 hours after the market closes. I conjecture that they process the larger accounts first, then work their...
Doesn't TWS let you specify "liquidate last" for important positions? Tell me how they would design a computer algorithm to read your mind...
If you have an account at IB, they add on a free paper trading account. Not entirely sure how they simulate the back end, or if that's...
1. Who do you use instead of IB? 2. I'm not sure I can imagine avoiding the bid-ask spread. Can you post an example trade? 3. Looks like we were...
I'm with you so far, but we still have not factored in the cost of paying the bid-ask spread. This unavoidably comes out of our pocket when we...
Appreciate the helpful replies. I am using limit orders (and even BOX price improvement orders) in IB's Simulated Trading paper account. Not sure...
You, or anyone on elite trader with insight into directional trading. I ask about typical term because, while I know we're readier than a dog...
What term do you usually select and do you go ITM, ATM, or OTM? I'd like to go 2 or 3 months out, so the story can play out, and so theta doesn't...
Roth IRAs are the best for handing off to your children. You build money tax free until you die at say 87, taking no withdrawals. When your son...
I wish some of you other posters found this problem as interesting as I do. You know, the great thing about trading options in your IRA is, you...
Hmmm, you know, this whole question is rather interesting. Now, one can take opposite sides of just about any position in each of the IRA's. But...
How about this: sell naked put and naked call in your traditional IRA, buy long call and long put in your Roth IRA. If the stock ever makes a...
You are allowed to do a partial transfer of funds from your Traditional IRA to your Roth IRA every year. There are 2 problems however: interactive...
I suggest developer17 simply defer his taxes until August 15 and wait and see what IB files with the IRS in mid-year. (They do send him a copy?)....
developer17's IRA went from $1500 to -$8500. Then it went from -8500 to 0. (When IB drained his other account). So this last move could be...
[/B] Such thinking cost developer17 $10,000. The default is for the options exchange to automatically exercise them for you. This can result in...
Correct. Developer17 was long. The exchange auto-exercised him. And the underylying stock he now owned opened gap down. And he never had the money...
Not sure about stocks, but I sometimes trade the E-mini S&P 500 Futures e.g. as a hedge (symbol starts with ES, see...
