That was a clear set up for a joke, but I decided to pass.

Is that what you did?

For those that make $500,000+ year and spend all their money, let me play you a sad Song on the World's smallest Violin.

Sorry, sle, but someone working in NYC does not have to live in NYC. They do not have to spend $1.2mm+ on their home ($5000/month is about a $1mm mortgage) and do not have to send their kids to private school. There are a number of good public schools in northern NJ, Westchester and Nassau...

I have to disagree, there are times when NASDAQ has more intraday movement than S&P and times when you can be long/short.

With just this information, I'd say your position sizing is the culprit. Part of good risk management is position sizing. I do not know what your trigger or set up requirements are to enter a trade (and I do not need to), but the reality is that they do not all offer the same expectancy. What I...

It could also be part of a long/short portfolio or vs stock. Quick story-When I was a MM on the floor, one of the Options I made markets on in the early 90's was Union Carbide. There were always takeover rumors. Once every 3 months, an order would come in to buy 3000 OTM calls. About 10% OTM...

Except one option is only one side of the picture. You can't see their portfolio.

That requires joining a prop firm, getting registered with them, commingling your assets and risking your money next to other traders and a lock up of 1 year with your funds. I'm not a fan of JBO type prop firms where your money is first loss unless they provide technology you can't get on...

GlobalMacro90, Would you like to provide a general description of you, the asset classes you trade and a general strategy you focus on? And, is that systemic or discretionary. If you do not want to do it publicly, email me.

The fact is that I'm part of the NYC trading community. That has overall shifted from Market Makers and backed day traders to hedge funds and CTAs. The Chicago trading community is more entrepreneurial and is more apt to have deals like you are looking for if you know the right people. I do not.

GlobalMacro90, I'm trying to understand the point of looking to double your BP but only keep 50% of the profits and losses. Basically you end up with the same, but have a partner. What would make more sense based on your desire to get more capital even if you have to risk yours too, is to find...

No. You would have to find a partner or private deal with an investor. and if you find an investor to do this, a 50/50 split is too low. You should get paid as an investor and the trader.

thank you.

Can you share your experience with Iqfeed? Since two of our platforms with APIs are subject to non display fees it would help me to have an outside data source for those clients.

Maybe there was more than one party trading with another or one person was part open/close. Either way, not unusual.

If you have a Reg-T margin account, the margin requirement does not provide an offset for naked short calls and puts. You need the full margin for both. If you have a PMA, the OCC only looks at the side that would cause the larger loss with a shock of 15% on an equity, not both. IB can require...
