  1. ophir I am considering testing this software. Looks very powerful and handy as it is. My question is most people are asking for the ability to test calendars and I think this is important but what about other structures flies,condors, diagnols and so forth are any of these a possibilities? Thanks Bret
  2. Close some of indices that are not necessary will take care of line limits futures are only thing live after 4pm
  3. Ophir Do you have longer term subscription at better rates?
  4. I have not tried any of the ones you mentioned, I use ONE but I have seen others use Optiovue and it looks like very good software but very expensive compared to ONE. No experience with the others though.
  5. Dan Sheridan says that profits from UOA would have trouble buying a cup of coffee at the end of the year. Just my 2 cents.
  6. Nice upgrades Kim. Kudos
  7. Happy birthday Kim, hope the fire is still burning as brightly as when you began. I have learned a great deal from you. Thanks Bret
  8. I closed 165P @1.18 for 28% gain
  9. Enter order on TWS strategy builder submit GTC order. It will be in your orders window right click and in drop down box choose pause execution.
  10. I may be I the wrong topic but someone was asking about GTC orders. What I like to do on straddles particularly is enter the order as GTC and then pause the execution in case the underlying gaps and then can adjust the price and execute at a better price. When you pause it keeps the order on screen so it can be monitored. Works for me anyway.
  11. Thx for the headsup on the trade!
  12. Exited 55 @1.00 credit and 52.5 @.92 for 25% gain

  16. I closed IBM @5.30 for a 14% gain. Was looking for 20% but kind of died so took it off.
  17. I purchased ONE, simple to use with a little practice. much easier to monitor trades and backtesting feature is nice.
