    What sets options traders apart from stock traders?

    If you want leverage, you should join prop. Option trading is for those who like to add more dimensions instead of directional bet. If you are good at trading stocks, don't trade options, just join a prop firm to get the leverage that you want.

    e-mini Calendar Spreads

    I just tried it with TOS account with future trading permission. It worked! I think if your account doesn't have future trading permission such as IRA, it doesnt work.

    e-mini Calendar Spreads

    The bid-ask spread of SPX calendar is wider than that of ES. From my limited experience, it seems that you get a "fairer" price using ES. Not sure if it is generally true. I am moving from spx to es.

    U.S. Headed For Economic Disaster

    As i said, till now most of us haven't found it useful yet. Why teach something that are known to yourself as useless as of today? I don't support a public school to teach a new theory without any supporting evidence. Scientific research and advancement is not only about new ideas, but...
