Yes, considered LLC when he was 16, but the learning curve was a little steeper than I thought at first. By the time I felt he was ready to trade on his own it was only a few more months to the 18th birthday and legal to execute contracts on his own. An LLC has set up and annual reporting...

I'm looking for a broker where my 18 year old son can trade option spreads. He's been learning & trading options with me for the last two years. He knows his way around defined risk strategies pretty well. He opened an account with TDA to use the ToS platform right after his birthday...

Is it just ToS or is all of Chicago offline? Sosnof's tastytrade site is up but no live video is streaming right now.

So what hours does this trade now? The ER2 traded same as the ES. The IB "contract info" for the December 100x RUT shows the exchange closed 8:00 PM to 6:00 PM ??? What does that mean? Does it only trade *between* 6 & 8 PM then?

Where did it go? I'm not getting any market depth info for ES, ER2, or YM this morning. IB status says everything is green.... ??! anyone else?

Why don't you just create the backtesting infrastructure necessary to explore various types of systems. You could put a snazzy web front end on it and charge people a monthly fee to test their systems and provide alerts of some kind. The fees would cover your costs and you would be in a unique...

Subscribers: when/how is your weekly copy delivered to you? The local newsstand and bookstore availability has become inconsistent to nonexistent. I'm considering subscribing but NOT if I have to wait for Monday afternoon's snail mail to read it.
