Did the MU trade but was out with a loss. I am a jinx

What a wonderful discussion

Enjoyed the webinar a lot but so far I only see Kim implemented one of the many possible strategies. The FB iron condor. Will we have more ? also wondering if the members would like to share some of the profitable and good trade ideas from the tool (e.g. In the unofficial trade section). Would be helpful

Hope you guys don't mind this extremely rookie question. In IB, how would I set up a trade like the above Sell 35 Delta Buy 15 Delta Put Not really sure how to translate the above to a trade. Sorry.

Perhaps this is kinda of silly but I wonder if we can remove the "relative dates" and use actual dates in recent posts. E.g Posted Saturday at 1:33 AM · Report post Would be nice to be back to the dates that it was posted, rather than relative (i.e Saturday) as it helps when i need to keep records.. But just a small issue

Thanks. IB came back with a fix. It is a corrupted settings file

Thanks. Will follow it with IB support Thanks for taking the effort to help

Hi pal Tonight (when market is open and alive), I tried to close a VIX butterfly and my dialog box is this: I have no idea how which option to choose. So I ended up closing my IB desktop and open my IB mobile: And closed the trade easily. Does that make sense of my issue ?

Yes.. Configure > Display > Ticket Row I always try to update my TWS once a month

Thanks pal. Will try it out and let you know !

Hi Pals Wanted to ask this for a while. I always find it more complicated to place a combo trade in the PC version of IB vs tablet/iPhone version. Let me explain. For example, let's say I want to do this trade and want to put a limit order to sell this trade at $1.00 When I do this in IB trader, I get this box, which i have no idea how to put the selling price of $1 ? What's the order type ? What's the trigger price ? So usually I saved the combo in a watch list, exit IB trader, then log on to IB in iPad or iPhone. Update the watch list and then it becomes easier: This one I just enter $1 as limit price and it is okay.

Thanks Marco !

Found the answer. .it is a setting

Not sure what happened but my trades are in a mess... the actual legs of the option trades are not correct. For example, my VIX Nov 17 $30 Call should be together with my Vix Oct 20 $15 Put But somehow it is with Oct 20 $18 Call How to just trade break these combos and put them together in the right combo ?

I wanted to get this to further my education in options back testing etc but really hesitant as not sure if I can really know how to use it. Will really appreciate some guidance from Kim or the rest of forum on how to really maximize the value of ONE

Interested to know this too....

Me too. Love to know. Eg why does it matter and why does it matter (or not) in the way SO trades

I use tradervue for all my forex and stock trading journal. I realised that it can use for tracking options so I have started to use it to import all my options trades from IB every day (including those I am starting to learn to trade from here). I have not done any adjustments so I am not sure how it will turn out (a link to explain adjustments ?). I am a newbie for options so not in a good position to advise if this web site is okay for options trades tracking and how its reporting is for options. I am still learning. You do need to be at least a silver member to be using it for options trading though.
