@supothanan@Wat3rD@TD_Canada I would take screenshots of any limit or market order when bid ask was above ur limit or market order and dispute it later
@abeisjake@Wat3rD@TD_Canada yea same, my SPY cohtracts are unsellable as well. I am losing money with Theta. Not sure what's the workaround is. Really frustrating.

@julie_wade so profit taking early morning go down to 6350s then as 2pm est rolls around we rally to 6500. Then boots on the ground and we get our flush down to 5800s? April is going to be fun
We do have JPM roll of their quarterly collar which will theoretically put a bid in the equity indexes. Let's see if that is strong enough to jump that gamma hedge line.
Just when you thought it was over... they pull you back down? #NQ_F coming into Monthly 3 (Close). Let's play IF/THEN. Ok, IF Dealer moved risk OUT on Friday (they did), THEN 23435.50 is the gamma wall they will be hedging to keep market lower going into today's close. Which means, we could be oscillating inside them lower Monthly and 31 Day 3's through end of day. Let's see what happens. 23435.50. Good talk.
@newton_crypto Can you get answer your customer support tickets? A brokerage of this caliber should have better mechanisms in place to help customers immediately
**📊 Term Structure Into the Gauntlet: NVDA/NFP/MOPEX Stack**
**🔥 The Vol Curve is Screaming at You**
Spot VIX at 23+ while VX front month sits 23.32 and Dec drops to ~21.16 before Jan ticks back to 22.04 — the market is **paying up** for the next 72 hours like it owes money to the mob. Short-term backwardation straight into front expiry, then boom — immediate flip to contango.
What’s that telling you? Traders are bidding the absolute *hell* out of short-dated vol because they **know** what’s coming, but they’re equally convinced it’ll be over by December. This isn’t fear — this is event-specific hedging by people who’ve circled these dates in red Sharpie.
And the decomposition? Pure signal. This VIX pop is real realized vol demand — actual humans buying actual options at-the-money because they’ve got actual risk to manage. Not skew panic. Not tail-chasing. Not some algo gone rogue. Just good old-fashioned “I need protection for Tuesday through Thursday because things could get weird.”
**⚙️ The Convergence Mechanic That Matters**
Here’s what you need to understand: VX futures **must** converge to spot VIX at settlement. That’s not a suggestion — it’s physics. The spread closes one of three ways:
- VIX rises to meet VX
- VX drops to meet VIX
- They awkwardly shuffle toward each other
With VIX sitting just under front VX and three nuclear catalysts about to detonate, which way you think that convergence happens? Yeah. Realized vol is probably heading *up* before it normalizes post-MOPEX.
**🎯 The 72-Hour Gauntlet**
**Tuesday Nov 19 - NVDA Earnings:** The tail that wags the dog. When NVDA moves, SPX moves. When NVDA vol pops, SPX gamma concentrations shift. Dealers are about to get a masterclass in hedging whiplash, and those gamma walls at key strikes? They’re about to matter — **a lot**.
**Wednesday Nov 20 - NFP:** Economic data with the subtlety of a sledgehammer. Weak print? Vol spikes on recession theater. Strong print? Vol spikes on “Fed’s not cutting” repricing. Notice the pattern? Either way, short-dated options print realized vol, which is *exactly* what that backwardation told you would happen.
**Thursday Nov 21 - MOPEX:** The great gamma purge. All those hedges that kept everyone safe through earnings and data? **Gone**. Rolling off the board. Dealer positioning resets to zero. And suddenly that Dec VX at 21.16 doesn’t look so crazy — because the market *knows* vol compresses when monthly gamma expires and everyone can finally exhale.
**💭 What the Structure is Really Saying**
This vol curve is pricing a **defined chaos window** followed by “back to normal programming.” That contango past front month? That’s institutional money saying “we’re gonna fade this vol **hard** once we clear Nov 21.”
Which means:
→ Vol sellers are locked and loaded to hammer it post-MOPEX
→ Systematic flows (Vol Control, CTAs) are positioned to pivot risk-on
→ Dealer gamma flips from defensive short to comfortable long as fresh positions establish
**💡 The Flow Truth**
The real-vol driver behind this VIX move means dealers are actually hedging legitimate customer demand at central strikes. This isn’t technical squeezing. This isn’t gamma manipulation. This is rational actors managing defined risk around known events.
And here’s the beautiful part: once those events **pass**, that demand evaporates like morning dew.
The curve is a three-day countdown timer. The backwardation is telling you where the pressure is. The contango is telling you where the relief comes.
**⚡ Gotta WATCH the FLOW to be in the KNOW.**
Trade the structure, not your feelings.

@Chilz75@TD_Canada Yes, not being able to access this app when you have positions is the worst. Fix your shit during non market hours TD. If folks can't access their accounts during precious market hours, there should be compensation.
