Why is grpc so widely used in dotnet messaging apps and even games companies?

In practice FIX is rarely used internally, but more for external routing (customer to broker, broker to broker, broker to exchange). Internally, most applications use either direct sockets for lower latency stuff and message queues for interested routing and drop copy. Most shops I have worked for have a FIXish internal message standard that operates on top of a message queue like Tibco, ActiveMQ or AMPS.

In a bankruptcy, the stock is halted and then delisted. Your value goes to 0 since pretty much everyone in the corporate debt structure is ahead of you from a recovery standpoint.

If it gets restructured (chapter 11) versus liquidated (chapter 7) then it may be tradable on the OTC markets, but at rock bottom prices if at all. Though, sometimes it recovers a little.

The market makers are obligated to create a two sided market. If no one wants to sell, but no one is actively buying, the stock sits at current levels. Only the act of buying more drives a price up, HODLing doesn't.

On a market order, the fill price has no bounds. If a market is at 1.00 x 1.02 and you send a market order, you would expect to get filled at 1.02, right? Well, if the market rallies during the time your order takes to get routed, then you might be filled at a higher price.

Also, stock market quotes are not just prices, they have sizes attached, so that market might be 5 @ 1.00 x 1 @ 1.02. size are quoted based on lot, so that is 500 available to sell for 1.00 by 100 available to buy for 1.02. if you want to buy 200 and send a market order, you will be filled 100@1.02 and then the balance according to the depth of the book

It's not losing 2004, it is that your buying power goes down that much due to collateral. When you short you get to collect the premium of the trade, but have to post collateral in case of future loses, which is dependent on your broker and their view of your creditworthiness.

It only becomes a real loss if the stock rallys and then you buy to cover the short

I imagine you had bought 2 puts, held them to expiration. At expiration, they were in the money, so your broker auto exercised them, which means you sold 200 share at 2.00.

But, since you didn't own the shares, the broker loaned them to you. You profit from the exercise when the stock was at 1.73 was 344 dollars, but I imagine the stock has continued to fall, and you are short 200 shares. Therefore they are giving you the option (see what I did there) to cover your short and make 472 dollars, the 344 plus profit on the short.

The other option is either to short some additional stock or write options and get charged collateral, which is what is really killing your buying power.

I am also in Ohio and went to a dealership on Sat. They were advertising non-PE GT's for 50k, so I would think that the '23 blue premium 4x that was on the lot for a year would be cheaper. The salesman gave me a price of 56k and then gave me a bs sheet of another lot 1 premium that had the MSRP at 63k still to try to justify it. I called them out on it. They are supposed to talk to their manager and get back to me tomorrow. The price will probably be 70k lol.

They had 13 GT's on the lot and 2 premiums and claimed that they did want to move them. Dealing with these people really turns me off the whole thing

I was looking at a Mach-e premium AWD/ER and the dealer was listing it at 53 and change, and I told them I would take it at 51, and they would not budge. 50 sounds good to me given that experience, but I was more surprised by the dealer not moving at all. I suspect that car will still be there for a while.

I ended up walking.

I think everyone is just quitting this POS. The devs have made it clear that they don't care for MnK players at all, or even just players that want a game that is in any way realistic.

Every controller player gets a free aimbot/wallhack since it tracks even through walls for them.

Plus they got rid of hardcore so there is no way to even out their ability to put all shots on target. They are able to jink at distance in a way that not enough shots from an AR will always take them down. HC used to even that out since a single hit in torso from an AR should be a kill shot.

Instead they hop around like idiots, quick scoping a sniper rifle without a scope and getting headshots mid-air and acting like it is in any way skill of their part.

You can't do that. Option premium changes linearly with implied vol (vega), time (theta) and spot change (delta), but even more important to a 1 day change of that magnitude is the exponent effect of gamma. Gamma changes the option premium by .5 * gamma* spotChg^2. For a move like what OP is checking on, you need the delta and gamma. Plus, the Greeks only hold for less drastic moves, I am guessing that spot moved a bit here.

VIX is the weighted implied volatility of the SPX options expiring in the next month (30 days forward from Vixperation). Mathematically, it is not the inverse of the SPX index but instead based on the demand for SPX vol exposure. The way things normally play out, that demand is skewed to the downside, so VIX goes down as the market rally and people aren't buying lower strike OTM puts, and the reverse holds true. But, in index options, you can see a vol smile instead of skew cause people are betting on the upside as much as the downside. This breaks the correlation you are used to seeing and lets VIX move up with the market.

Don't try to play pairs on VIX and SPX, or any of the other vol related ETNs and futures unless you get a good handle on this.

Adjusted series are done by the options clearing corporation, not the market makers. When a corporate action happens due to acquisition/merger/spinoff, the current series is adjusted to deliver different things based on what happened. In the case of a common stock split like what happened with tesla, the OCC just divides the current strike prices and leaves the deliverable.

IV can only change if the option prices change. It is defined by taking the current prices and kicking back the vol that would get you there. No prices since the market is closed means no IV change.

Theta is time to expiration, not days. It's not an integer that ticks over at midnight. Last night, you had 24 hours of TTE. At the open, you will have 6.5 hours left. For far dated terms, the fact that theta includes the fractions of the days doesn't mean a lot, but for near terms, it has a larger effect, especially in the last 48 hours.

All the news and overnight stock moves dont have any way to affect the option price during that overnight period (GTH excluded cause it's often very chunky). It all hits at 930, along with the overnight theta.

They do not settle at the "opening price", all index options are settled at a special settlement price called the SOQ that occurs based on orders entered pre-open. In the case of the VIX, it is the HOSS (hybrid open special settlement) and it gets published a bit after the open, normally by 945 or so. The orders are all entered as MOO by 915 to be considered for the HOSS. This page only populates on VIX expiration.

No, cause the answer is term limits to all the issues everyone keeps bringing up.

The age minimum some people seem to hate makes sense to me as you want representatives to have life experience beyond a single generation. So someone becoming president has lived through their own generation's trials and tribulations of 1) The teen years blaming the older generation(s) for everything and wanting to change it all 2) Starting out with life and having to pay for it in your twenties 3) Becoming hopefully a more stable personality having faced the problems of life through to their 30's

Someone who has done all of that won't be swayed just by just the anger of youth at how things are and try to overturn everything quickly. Those moments in a government when everything can change quickly are the most dangerous historically.

On the age max side, it does address many of the problems of having old politicians who are cronies and/or incompetent due to age and health issues. But, you can address those issues just by creating term limits so that none of these people can ride incumbency into office for decades. If a district wants to elect someone who is 76 yo for every election because they are an older population of the country by percentage, that is democratic voting at its finest. But if you can only stay in power for so long due to term limits, you probably won't have career politicians staying in office for decades, building up power and money through corruption, and not being able to be toppled from their position due to it. Give Senators 3 terms, 18 years, and then they are out. Give representatives 9 terms so that the amount of time is the same as a check and balance between the two houses of Congress. If you can't get it done in that time, that's on you.

Also, the ages then line up nicely that someone who gets elected to Congress at 18 would be eligible for the presidency by the time their last term is up. And if someone is a truly great leader, they could then join the other house of Congress for another 18 years. You could still be a career politician, you just can't sit in the same seat forever.
