There is no reason to ever be long/short a future in two accounts on purpose, as a strategy.

Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Ziggy? God I'm old.

We do not have Universal accounts. Even if we did, and we hope to before year end, futures accounts even when they appear to be one account with your equity account must be keep separate by NFA/CFTC rules in a seg account and based on a different rule set. Sorry for the long response. Futures...

We offer Futures IRA accounts with the same margin as a regular futures account but you must use a self directed IRA company like Mindaland IRA. https://www.midlandira.com/ I would be reluctant to offer excess leverage for day trading for a Futures IRA.

An IRA account is not suitable for PM.

Our IRAs are cash accounts right now but we are very close to IRA margin. I'm hoping for sometime is Feb 2019.

Essential. Maybe. If the Put is OTM, you still need to decide the most you are willing to lose on any one trade. The answer is very subjective. I would prefer to buy a call, vs Future + Put, as the net is the same, but there is only one commissions and a positions that is easier to manage. Your...

Paper trading does not count. That simple. Years ago, I played online poker. Made money consistently with play money. Then I funded an account with $200. Lost that. Did it three more times over a month, Lost that too. The TradersEXPO New York comes around each year in February. I started going...

If you email me directly, I can send you the limits . I can't post this publicly. Keep in mind that Realtick Pro with API costs $425/Month plus Market Data.

Realtick does not allow streaming a large number of symbols for free.

Not on LS Trader unless Market Data is active to the API-which would subject you to non-display fees. Realtick-yes. I have a automated client testing that today. Works fine, How many symbols do you need to stream vs query ?

Good question as all my Sterling users can sell short. Maybe it was a clearing broker issue with the ETB list check.

If you come in flat each day, your example is correct.

Welcome.

I do not really understand the question as you have asked it, so I'll let others try.

If SL is sell long, the tagging of the hedge has nothing to do with your option position. And, most future’s platforms don’t require you to tag a future’s order as long or short as their is no borrow. That said, you need to ask your broker about that part.

I will PM you.

Cash account, you get to day trade the morning balance once, as you can't recycle your buying power. Margin accounts allow for leverage and recycling of buying power. The 2X for 4X is the leverage limit for DT but you can within that limit, buy and sell as much as you want.

1 year? I can tell you no one has that type of restraint if they are consistently profitable and there is no reason why they can't slowing increase their size if the risk meet their profile. SLOWLY.
