I would trade it with YOUR money!!:D :D :D

It is my understanding that the 25K rule only apply to margin accounts. If this is true, then couldn't you day trade all you want in a cash only account? I know you wouldn't have the leverage of margin, but it could help till you get back to 25k. Maybe I'm wrong, but just an idea?

I have an account with 5perside.com for trading the nonelection futures. They are a division of Man financial. I have had good luck with them so far. I trade the ags mostly with them. And It really is 5 bucks perside for both futures and options. Theres no extras except at new york. But...

Thanks for all your ideas and comments. I borrowed a second monitor and plugged it in to my external monitor port and with a little configuring I was able to view 2 different pages at once. And I didn't need any other adapters or anything. Saves me from having to go buy a another computer for...

Does any one trade options on futures? Any futures, not just the indexes. Any good plays? How are the bid/ask and volume? I'm currently trading options on stocks, just looking to expand my options and opportunities. Also does any one have any recommendations on futures and options brokers...

I'm learning a ton. Exactly the kind of info I was looking for. The greeks all make since to me. I am really interested in the bull / bear spreads now. Thank you all very much. I would still like to hear from more of you on strategies that you use and on plays that have worked for you also.

Does anyone trade the QQQ index or options? The options seem to have good Bid / Ask and tons of volume. Any other suggestions for options??

I have thought about selling option, but the margin requirements are pretty steep for my account size, but will definitely be doing some of that as account gets bigger:) :)

Thanks, I am a real newbie. And I have a lot to learn. You are right about PII, I'm not sure way I picked that stock, but there isn't enough volume and the bid ask is terrible. To be honest, I didn't know what a theta or delta was until you mentioned them and i look them up. Do you have...
