The OCC does not look to see if the shares are ETB or even Threshold. They are contractually obligated to follow their rules and your contract.

I can help with that too. Some Admins have programs for start up hedge funds where they offer limited services at a lower rate.

This is an IB forum. Some of "what you are doing wrong" may have to do with IB's API symbology or data source. Based on the responses, I think it is important to clear up that the VIX is an index. The VIX is not a tradeable symbol. The CBOE trades VIX options only. The CFE, owned by the CBOE...

It is important to understand that a hedge fund is not just about trading. It is running a business that not only needs a good product, but also needs to understand their target market and how to market to them. Most think it is about just being a good trader in their personal account. You are...

I can't say I follow you. I'm currently an investor in 2 Hedge Funds. They are both 2/20. One has about $16mm in AUM and one well over $100mm. I have invested in a number of others. I look for low, steady returns. There are funds that charge 1/30, 1/40, 1/50. They have too much risk for me. If...

I have never understood why some here do not come up with solutions when someone needs help finding a tool. They only tell them it is a waste of time. I think news is important. I used a streaming window, but some use the API to trade breaking information. If they can set up code to evaluate...

Your P/L has nothing to do with your margin required to enter the trade. Maybe you should check this out before trading. https://www.cmegroup.com/education.html

$1510 is 10% or 10x if that was the margin on the trade. As I told you, full is $15,180. 10% is $1518.

You are looking at this like an equity. If you go to the CME website, you see maintenance margin on ES of $13,800 today. The initial margin is always 1.1X the maintenance or $15,180/future. https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/equities/sp/e-mini-sandp500.margins.html This is what the CME requires to...

When I was trading fulltime, I used Newsedgev8 by Acquire media. It was bought by Moody's. It is now called NewsEdge Alerts. I have a contact there if you want to email me directly. https://newsedge.com/alert/ Lightspeed Financial Services Group LLC. is not affiliated with this service...

I can email you a few, but not here. I was looking to invest in some in 2022. I can send you those as samples. rmorse@lightspeed.com

In general, investors like to see a single page tear sheet showing P/L by month after fees from real trading with some basic metrics. Grab a few hedge fund tears sheets as a sample. The Pitch book, should include a bio for you and others in the company. A general description of your strategy...

If such easy money, go for it. Let us know how you do.

Do you have the equity required to cover that spike and the margin your broker will require? What if they could not reach you and bought you in between 80 and 90. It works until it doesn't.

Mine was 45% of my Roth.

To be fair, it was not "my" trading, but it was my money. I had invested in 3 CTAs with programs. Two we selling naked puts. That day in 2018, the VX future traded from about 17 to 33 in 2 minutes from 4:13pm to 4:15 PM. A VIX ETN was shutting down and needed to buy back their VX futures. I...
