I am using Google Chrome and it doesn't work. I also tried Internet Explorer 10, and that doesn't work either. I think they told you that just to get you off the phone.
Here is the answer I just got:
"Hi Mr. Davey,
I checked with our tech team regarding this matter. This is a known issue that is being worked on now. We do not have an ETA for resolution as of yet, but working diligently to resolve this as soon as possible. I apologize for the inconvenience.
I'm looking at Sept around the 550 area right now but will wait a little longer. The next crop report is June 12. The seasonal lows are around July'ish and it looks like a bottom is trying to form here around 680 or so but the chart still looks a little bearish to me. Weather is the factor now so I'll keep an eye on that. Wheat gun is not loaded yet, trigger not ready to be pulled.....
Trade calc is a no go for me with the futures options but seems to be working when you look at stock or index credit spreads. It's been like this for a while now which is surprising since OX is usually pretty good about fixing a bug. I really hope that Schwab isn't messing up a good thing.
Anyone know of a calc that can give returns on spreads? The ROI can be worked out easy enough and margin requirement looks right in OX, but I'm stuck on the spreads.
Ok, I have been looking at directional spreads. A few weeks ago I was looking at buying a 93P and selling a 92P in July Crude. I wouldn't do that now, but do you have some math where I could work out what return it would give me if the underlying say hit 90, 89 etc - exactly what the OX Calc does.
OK, now I understand. I don't have a spreadsheet that does that. There should be some free online sources that will provide it.
Your post is an excellent reminder to everyone that they should contact OptionsXpress, and complain about the Trade Calculator. Maybe it will then get moved up the "fix" list.
People looking at Wheat ... I just heard this morning on NPR that a field in Oregon was found to be contaminated with Geneticaly Modified Wheat (which was not released for sale/use by Monsanto). Right now, its not known how widely this might affect the Wheat Exports (Oregon wheat is mostly exported to Asia).
I have not researched it nor do I trade in Grains, so not sure of the implications. But thought of letting people know, just in case.
Interesting things going on. NGN3 futures traded 554 times in the 4 seconds before the NG inventory came out. Took prices from 4.13 to 4.17. First trade in futures after the report was 4.083. Traded 159 times the 42 seconds before that.
Somebody guessing the direction after the NG inventory report?
