How often do You get bad ticks in Your service ? It is not common, but once You collect a lot of data it takes some time to correct it.

I know that it should help, but I`d better find another broker. Once we do not have intraday trading models, some more money for better service still make sense.

Some time ago one of Turtle EL codes was posted in some forums (maybe illegally ?). I`ve tried that. That one looked impressive but was wothless. It did not work sufficiently on most contracts.

I made few attempts to reach IB in the subject of Financial Advisor Separately Managed Accounts for our CPO. Emails were ignored, phones were busy for ten minutes, before I gave up. Is it very common ? Are they so good, that they don`t care ?

Thx Don, that`s what I thought.

Don, how far do You go if they move against You :))) ?

Assuming going short, right ? Can You give us some more insights: How far You go when the market moves against You ?

My business is established in US, so I do have EIN. I have few partners in Europe, so maybe my question to Citibank was not clear enough ? They could understand that we are doing biz as foreign company ? Anyway, the question is whether foreigners can participate in CPO in US ? Assuming it`s...

Aaron, thx for reply. Sorry, it was confusing. Yes, looking for biz account for my pool. I understand that many of them can do that, however I already had discouraging answer from Citibank, so ... doing my homework in this field.

We are starting new CPO, so I`m in the process of "checking the waters" first. CPO will be registered with NFA, although is not required yet, due to size and number of participants. Question: Anybody can share experience with the banks ? Thx

I`ve tried them some time ago. Harder to make money then it looks. At that time Mr. Kaplan`s strategies were very popular (Opportunities in Options) Some of them covered "worst case scenarios" i.e. when market moves too fast against You, which I find the most important in delta neutral strategies.

Redzuk, options are different, while option is 4 D creature, future contract is only 2-dimensional, that`s why complex strategies make more sense

Vertical spreads - tested by myself, lower margins, but lock You in till expiration (in general obviously) Backspreads - good for large moves Conversions - quite interesting for locking profits in, but hard to establish "no loss" position with straddle In one of recent "Futures" mag there...

Thanks, anybody else ?

It was mentioned before, but I believe, it is still actual: Anybody makes consistent profits using off-floor strategies ? I`ve tried few of them already, with mixed results, nothing impressive. Some say there no proftable options strategies for off-floor traders. Thanks for any comments.

And ????????????????

Following is the part of an article regarding euro`s rise, published in one of the foreign edition of well known magazine: "...at least once, international currency traders, because they are the ones, who are mostly responsible for common currency (euro) high prices had helped..." I do...

That`s what I actually thought, but never tried. Thx, Vulture.

Anybody can share own practical experience with the trades i.e.: Long SPU2 @1210 Long SPU2 PUT 1210 Short SPU2 CALL 1210 (opening on up days, when CALLS IV is high, so CALLS are overvalued versus PUTS)
