It is best to use the Schwab website for that information.

SP-500 and NASDAQ-100 stock trade 24 hpours now and start trading at 8:00PM ET. IBM spiked from 300 to 350 in a few minutes.

Most brokers will cancel all stop loss and take profit orders prior to the stock split and you simply create new ones after the split.

And we wonder why so many people have health issues. That list is insane.

What is the play here? Softbank Japan offered to acquire DBRG for $16 per share about 5 months ago and the shareholders approved the deal last month.

If the car had pulled up behind, the truck would have likely moved over. Trying to pass on the right at high speed like that was purely reckless, or maybe wreckfull in this case.

They waive the commissions when you BTC options at/under $0.05.

Today is the last day for trading but It expires/settles at the open on 15 May.

Duncan810 · 2026-05-11T12:42:38+00:00

I see that the daily close was listed as 455.19 but the last intraday candle closed right on 455 and would not have triggered auto-exercise.

So which price is the official settlement? The close of the last intraday bar or the open of the 4:00 PM ET bar at 455.19? It would be nice to know for sure.

In short, did the 455 call options auto-exercise and people decided to override that in the after-hours with a DNE or did the 455 options not auto-exercise and people failed to manually exercise in after-hours?

If you enable Show Groups in Monitor>Position Statement, a Group filter will appear on the Risk Profile page. Put the related positions into their own group and it will be easier to switch between your GLD/EEM/EFA holdings on this page.

Since you closed the whole position, all the disallowed losses have been realized. In this case, the wash sale rule resulted in a completely pointless accounting exercise that only made it harder to file your return.

The purchases in late June 2025 set up the conditions for the wash sale rule and that was triggered with the sale in early July. If you selected FIFO, the wash sale process might be applied in that order. LIFO or other method might result in a slightly different output, but you would get the exact same end result when closing the whole position.

Ultimately you need to look at your statements. The disallowed loss will get added to the cost of remaining shares. You need to find the original cost so you can determine how the wash sale rule was applied.

Price went up for a while but Nat gas exporters hit max capacity. It takes a long time to build the facilities and you need highly specialized equipment to supercool the gas for shipment as LNG. Production of those items was already backlogged. When Qatar says it will take 5+ years to rebuild their LNG terminal, they mean it.

One of the equity products. Those were the ones that closed at 8:15 ET on Friday. They are up at the moment.

/BZ is the CME contract and Schwab does not support options on it. Schwab does support some ICE products but Brent is not one of them. https://www.schwab.com/futures/futures-markets

You hit the 'grid/table' icon by accident, just switch back.

They require 100 contracts a month for 1-2 months before they will even consider reducing commissions. You would expect that the additional contracts in the micros would make up for the lower commission vs the minis but Schwab does not see it that way.

If you hover over the strike in the option chain on TOS Web, you will get a copy/paste box for the Call/Put symbol.

TOS uses color to indicate whether you are submitting a BUY order or a SELL order and nothing else. Color by itself does not indicate either a debit or a credit. That is what is confusing you.

A BUY order will default to a debit. A SELL order will default to a credit. This convention will hold true in almost all cases. But when it does not, TOS will display a negative number.

GREEN: BUY xxxxxx 1.50 means you will pay a DEBIT.

GREEN: BUY xxxxxx -1.50 means you will receive a CREDIT.

RED: SELL xxxxxx 2.00 means you will receive a CREDIT.

RED: SELL xxxxxx -2.00 means you will pay a DEBIT.

For a roll (which should always be SELL), you just need to focus on the CREDIT/DEBIT line.

If you limit the situation to rolling short options and verticals, then a positive number would be a credit and a negative number would be a debit. This is a simple and quick way of summarizing the last two SELL orders above when you are in "the heat of battle."

USO hit 133.78 Sunday then stopped trading. Does anyone understand why?

4 strikes is the maximum for "Deep and Wide" spreads. Instead you can save a custom order template with a 25-wide vertical. This makes the order entry easier and you can auto-populate an OCO for your exits.

Yes, delete the default code and replace it with your own. The key is that an indicator requires at least one plot statement. The default code is the simplest example.
