I'm switching from IB, this latest glitch in their Option Trader has put me over the edge. So has anyone that trading 500 contracts or more a month used Trade Monster? If so any complaints?

I was wondering if anyone uses these, either the free section or the pay to play? The real time play to play at $29 a month seems cheap. Is it worth it or not. I don't use tick charts, just the daily to 5 minute charts.

I bailed in August, but got back into them in November when the div. payout was upwards of 20%. Now with the recent cuts they are back under 10% but still a good dividend. I guess my question is will they return to the high teen dividends when the oil prices go up or will the fear of taxation...

Trading 20 or more option positions at once in my opinion would be extremely hard to watch and monitor. Also options tend to move faster than stock. It also violates my trading plan of having to high of a risk. Since I will only risk 2% of my trading account per trade and with options you have...

I disagree, it may in sense prevent the disruption of the thread, but it may also censor an open forum. It is disheartening when a post that you have spent your valuable time on composing is trashed, but I believe that this is part of an open forum. Viewing the good, the bad and the ugly. But...

On The Money

These words of advice are OTM. I was on a free trial with one of these over night millionaire makers during the 20% gap up in RIMM. On their website this was a stock to watch the night before the gap up. They had no buy or entry point, but just a stock to watch. 2 months later in their ad...

Joel do some reading before you enter the option world. Leverage works both ways. May I suggest anything written by Larry McMillian. His books are of many pages, but he really is the option guru.
