Don't see it, I'll just post in the forum: I've been following a few of your threads, and it sounds like you're managing a shop which has a familiarity with options. I mostly trade with volatility and skew driven plays, term structure, long and short gamma, and occasionally some second order...

Mav, just tried to PM you, your mailbox is full. Do you have an email?

Yeah,,, crack safari. Anyhow, stops are fine for the risk management of unexpected events or market moves, but generally they are a poor replacement for an otherwise dynamic decision set which is the result of market condition analysis. Lots of literature has been written othe high cost of...

This is all true. PM is great for options, and thats about it.

Bread and butter? Reminds me of some crazy dan sheridan thing.

I trade options, and which this sometimes requires using an underlying equity or futures vehicle, I think the biggest reason for option traders to jump into prop is market or capital access.

Bump, thanks.

Almost seems to be a product catered not toward traders but rather the banking industry.

Sure, I doubt the lower comms are worth the risk of no insurance....as we recents have been experiencing....

Does the group trade options? I guess I would also like to know that if I were to deposit 200-300k, what would my haircut be and is it possible to get badge margin or close to?

Thanks. I ended up going with that same solution simply because I needed a decision so I could move forward so hopefully it'll work out well.

Followup - Would also like to hear about the Quant2IB product if anyone has experience with that as well. Thanks.

All, Looking for some community feedback. Has anyone been using the IB-Matlab software from Undocumented MatLab? I'm searching for a solution to be able to execute directly from my MatLab logic. Goal would be to use an outside data vendor and then send the orders into Interactive Brokers...

Enough with the Zulu crap already, if you want to advertise buy an add.

Nitro, Have you ever done any cointegration or RV testing for VS trades?

bump, thanks.

Have you tried looking at any other c# IDEs such as ninja or openQuant? Jus t curious as they have quite a bit of example code.

I would guess that most which are based on TA will break even at best. Use a single simple TA tool and it'll be priced out of the market, use a combination of complicated tools and you'll be forced to fit to something, and probably experience waves of great profit and loss. I think if you...

Not sure but I would like to know the same. I've put the same request into my advisory, it'll be interesting to see what he comes us with.

Thanks for the feedback. You rightly touched on my purpose, I'm thinking of switching from IB to a DMA setup, and I don't want to end up in a 'naked' situation where I don't know what I don't know about how the broker has been providing for my orders in the past.
