VIX futures have so many applications in professional finance that it is probably never purely traded against a portfolio of options. Think about how many OTC exotics are priced against VIX term structure... As mentioned, there is not a single piece of software - and I used a few in my carreer...

how would you want to calculate the greeks without IV?

Naahhh...TT was never a retail product and they make most of their money in energy markets. They are fine

sorry that I have to disappoint you, but these systems do not come with models. They give you connectivity, compliance, risk management, and basic order management. On top of that you'll get an interface that allows you to either write your own code or connect to your pricer. There may be...

you also could use TT or CQG and use their excel plug - ins to model your prices. ORC has been acquired by Itiviti which has been acquired by Broadridge. It's quite expensive for what it is now :)

I don't wanna know how you're drinking tea...

Lol, really?? A challenge? You're barking up the wrong tree my friend :D Do your homework

No you cannot. Working towards that is chasing a pipe dream. You have no clue about how options work which is why you're gambling with charts. Good luck with that. Read a simple primer like Natenberg and try to understand at least the basics. Problem is, you're not a good teacher. Start a...

Can you stop opening threads every single fucking day? Your threads are useless and that's the reason why nobody replies. Get a grip on yourself

20-40% p.a. is nothing to write home about for a trader but for a CTA it is exceptionally good, however, it also depends on what your target group is. If you're looking to get AUM from high networth individuals the performance is good. If you're looking to market to fund of funds or other...

if you don't trade through PfOF brokers it seems like you've got to learn order routing

100% no. Arbitrage is the best strategy...but you have to be able to find it :D

Can't really remember, it's been a while. It probably was a mix of ego as well as economics of scale. More buying power, more volume, lower fees, tech is paid by 0.1% performance/mo instead of 1% performance/mo. Size is an advantage and I wanted to trade size as quickly as possible. I...

ever tried to arb nano cap dual listings?

so according to you I'm an idiot but you also berate me because of foul language? Ivy shows XD I don't care if you'll let go or not. Neither does anybody care about "professionally" managed or not. For you it's a matter of principle, for the rest only performance counts.

what's the difference between managed and professionally managed? You either can handle OPM or you can't. Now listen, monkey: If you have nothing to your name but skill, no ivy league degree, no sponsors or professional background, f&f is your only choice to build an OPM track record. Do you...

I see you're quite new and you have a lot of questions. No need to open a new thread for each one, though. Here is what you need to know: 1. There is trading, there is investing and there is managing money. Three different businesses with three different benchmarks, goals and skillsets...

bullshit....most people start out with family and friends money since regulation is not mandatory in this case in most jurisdictions. After that : CTA license or similar. @Tall Mike: I traded other peoples money on several occasion and I'm happy that I don't have to do it anymore. It's a...

Credit default swaps cannot be accessed by retail as they are traded OTC and an ISDA is necessary to access the interbank derivatives market. But credit default swaps could be useful for retail as well...especially for those who are gambling in microcap low floaters or for people who have their...

Here's the thing: As much as I appreciate product innovation, trading events is a dead end. I've tried various platforms for retail and institutionals over the last 20 years and there were many...offshore, regulated, US, EU, you name it. There is even an crypto event trading platform right now...
