    support and resistance

    Everything eventually moves (price changes) from adequate supply and demand. Since index constituents move the index itself your observation may be true on a summarized time-frame at times but it can't be generalized. When index is going up, the leading stock in the index can really be going...

    support and resistance

    Think of it that they trade independent of each other. You are assuming something incorrectly. Not all stocks move in same direction to their index.

    support and resistance

    The fact that underlying value is used to compute index is not a factor on support resistance. Index will move with largest contributors from underlying. It (indx value) is not exactly matching underlying at all instants as arbitrage can happen.

    Most consistent pattern:: eod VIX (VXX/UVXY)

    Predictably watch es futures when Sara shows up on cnbc around 3pm. Es will drop most of the time. Vix spikes at that time. It is to do with cash crew closing and or imbalance. Sometimes it works opposite way too. This is also a corollary to common concept of buy es close and sell open.

    Do options on UVXY and TLT get Sec. 1256 treatment?

    K1 is for the underlying from proshares. Proshares doesn't care about options on the underlying.

    Do options on UVXY and TLT get Sec. 1256 treatment?

    I am sure this same question was answered earlier. You can use what is known as 'substantial authority stand' and file as 1256 taking a departure from broker in the event he did 1099 b on these.

    HOW TO tell if Hedge funds are buying/selling without depending on the 13f/g/d

    There was this guy Raj Rajarathnam who planted moles in big corporate boards and profitted until he was caught. Follow suit and plant moles in places you want. Will work until caught. Then a little time in a penitentiary and then you are also set as a billionaire.

    Think or Swim is great but their commissions on (micro) futures are horrible

    Yes but I don't want to say how much I pay let's just say fairly little. I used to have 10k on just futures commies and I approached twice to get what I wanted.

    Any brokers who accept rupee INR depsoits

    Instead explore this route. Under liberalized remittance you should be able to convert upto 250k usd with inr. Use that as the float and have an account with a standard us broker maintained in dollar denomination. Talk to a bank in India and they should be able to help you with the first part...
