Again your trading platform should let you look at each available expiration month, each strike in that month, and volume and open interest for each strike. Plus bid/ask, greeks, probabilities, etc. Here's a picture for the FXE ETF at the COB yesterday. Using the ToS platform. Notice that it...

Yes, exactly. And that's clearly stated on the OCC's data page. Best

Not sure what platform or database you're using but my three sources (ToS, OCC, and CBOE) show the following at the COB today (16:00 EDT/20:00 UTC). Of course the numbers vary by a few contracts between data sources but all pretty much paint an accurate picture. Daily Options Volume COB...

Here are a dozen currency ETFs listed with the highest daily volume first then descending to the lower volume (and OI) last. This information is a combination of data gleaned from the ETFdb.com and the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) web site daily stats site. Note that Some of the following...

According to an article in today's (June 7) Barron's magazine (Theresa W. Carey's Electronic Trader column) OptionsHouse and tradeMonster, are merging in a deal engineered by private-equity firm General Atlantic, which has a substantial financial-services portfolio and previously owned stakes in...

Understand. That's why I sent you to the CME link. The CME has ES OI and Vol. info for all the ES products including futures and options. All that info is in one spot on the CME's web site. As an aside, please note that Livevol does not, at the present time, offer trading capabilities for any...

Why not try the CME's website. They own the ES symbol and publish volume and open interest at the end of each business day. Both ES futures and options offer good liquidity (that's my opinion , I trade ES options spreads.) ES futures vol is about 1.5 million a day, ES options trade about...

Yes, my ThinkorSwim platform has it listed under the Trade Tab as /SIZ7 with 1389 days remaining until expiration. I looked at the options chain for that contract and don't see any bids/asks, open interest or volume associated with that symbol. All the /SI trading activity seems to end with...

I'm relatively new to Options. I don't see the term "PM haircut" mentioned in any of my lierature or books. Nor does a Google search find that term (in the context of options trading) either. For my education could you explain PM haircut. Thanks

Thank you for that info. I've been in contact with Global and will set up a demo account. They are recommending the Zen platform. I'll research that as well as the others. Best

Which Global's trading platform do you use. I am currently trading the YG contract at ToS but am considering trying another company/platform. Thanks

Greetings, I received this TradeStation message today. The new stand-alone TS Fx platform rolls out in a week. Should be interesting to see what the platform looks like (i.e. a duplicate of 9.0 or something close), spreads (it's not commissioned based), etc. Their relationship with GAIN Capital...

Do you use MBT's Navigator platform or MT4? And why? I've been trading MBT demo account for a couple of weeks and am not sure about the Naigator platform. Thanks
