    Interactive broker vs TD Ameritrade vs Speed trader vs lightspeed .... Which one for Daytrading?

    LS Trader, Sterling Trader Pro, CBOE Silexx & Realtick are all WIN OS platforms. The Realtick API offers Linux too. LS Trader also has a MAC OS version but it needs an update. I recommend MAC users use Parallels Desktop.

    It is the tool built into LS trader and Sterling but it require a request to enable it. If you have a salesperson, email them that you want it. If you do not, email support with that request. FYI-TSLA is just used an an example. It is ETB right now.

    What happens when the closing is equal to strike ?

    Well if you had Lightspeed Trader you would look at the time and sales for the NYSE, as it is a NYSE listed stock.

    What happens when the closing is equal to strike ?

    No. Make sure you look at the close of the primary, not last sale from all markets. If you are not sure, call your broker. http://www.cboe.com/education/getting-started/quick-facts/expiration-exercise-assignment What is "automatic exercise" of an option? The Options Clearing Corporation has...

    which low cost brokers offer IRA account to trade emini future option?

    We offer, as stated in your other thread, futures with a self directed IRA company at Wedbush Futures. We do not allow excessive naked option selling and options need to be approved by our risk guys. We offer CQG QTrader and Desktop for those that trade Options on Futures.

    Anyone has experience with Tradestation to use custodian IRA account to trade emini future?

    I use Midland IRA for myself and have referred many over to them for both hedge fund allocations and futures accounts. I have had no problems with them. They work very quickly and always responsive. We introduce Futures accounts to Wedbush Futures that has a number of our IRA future's accounts.

    OK, demo, not real trading, Stop orders with spreads are worse. NO market order with spreads. Work your orders, and loss is limited so no reason to have stops.

    I can't decide that for you. IMO, for targets, I would enter limit orders away from the market with my target. If I need to exit when it goes against me, I would work out of the position manually with limit orders looking for best price.

    It is better to manually enter orders to exit vs a stop order.

    SPX has a trading pit - (Trading crowd) I do not think the CBOE takes STOP option orders on their system, so it has to be handled by a floor broker or TD's server. Since TD sends most of their orders to a DMM (Designated market maker) on the floor of the CBOE, and your order was delayed, it...

    1-you should not use stop order in option, IMO, to dangerous. 2-SPX markets are wider than most. 3-It is likely that your stop order in SPX is being handled by a broker in the crowd that is going to trade with his friend on the bid or offer.

    I don't see how anyone on ET can answer that. You need to call your support.

    Brokerage capable of linking cash and inherited IRA accounts? (IB can't)

    To my knowledge, you can roll. You can liquidate and pay the tax or take out the required amount each year as required.

    One more. I just spoke to the CBOE Silexx team and they told me order staging with the API will be in the next version of Silexx to come out later this quarter.
