Sign you might be pumping quarters into a black-hole bucket-shop & not a regulated FCM: They take credit cards.
We are aware some traders experienced declined payments at checkout today. For now, we're rolling back to our secondary payment processor, so AMEX works again. Crypto payments will not be available in the meantime. Please reach out to support for any issues.

My "For You" feed still thinks I want to see bucket-shop pimps bickering over which bucket-shop is less bucket-shoppy & which pimp is less pimpish.

I saw BLO get in a few jams over the years... don't know what eventually happened to him post-floor.

People always ask me, "Why do you describe yourself as an option whore? Always buying gamma?!?" Because, I can quantify the risk, I'll lose small for 15-24 months, and then that ONE month happens and I own the firm. I know I'm in the minority. As a derivative risk manager, I see an option seller to buyer ratio of 200:1 Strange that 4 of the 7 largest traders, that all pre-date my time here, are premium buyer, strange right?

Park City gets a S’mores Sleigh, while Vail gets an Ice Bar & 2-Martini Lunch. Sounds about right.
