I just asked CQG what they use as the trading symbols and they sent this. I think they are trading.

If you lose money, they do not put in a value.

You should be able to bring any options symbol, check open interest, check spreads, time and sales and get an idea during any trading day.

Why does your trading platform not offer that?

They trade often. That means there is customer order flow. What time and sales. AAPL, AMD, SPY, QQQ etc, get a lot of order flow and have many MM competing for order flow.

As an example, this is UNH, a large company. These are June options at EOD on Friday. These have an open interest and the markets are still a little wide.

There are a large number of symbols that have options. Many never trade. Market Makers will make wider markets in these so they do not have to pay attention but still meet their MM requirements. Customers rarely enter limit orders for you to trade with. You can't assume you can always do trades...

I never heard the term mugs game before. I like it. It depends on what you want to do. ITM or ATM options as a stock replacement, if you do not over lever, IMO, can work well for short term trading. If the options markets are too wide or liquid, the cost of entering and exit can be high.

NOt sure what that means. Most FCMs, including Wedbush Futures that we use, allow for IRAs opened with a self-directed IRA company like Midland IRA and offer SPAN margin like any other account. That does not mean you have to use all your margin to trade.

I think these are state regulated plans.

ladyarya, As a first time poster, we are going to assume your entire post was BS. Why? You posted almost a week ago and did not follow up. You referred to "1 trillion USD" which is just silly. You provided no details of the asset class, who you want to copy, does that person know you are...

I would say the most common way this is used is to use a market on close order vs an hour or a day or a week.

It would make more sense to move your futures IRA to a FCM that provides SPAN margin on IRA accounts.

If you pay someone to code to C++ you will be able to move to another broker if you choose to later as C++ is very common.

Where is ids?

Yes, I DO. I'm not allowed to provide trading advise expect general stuff. The spread you set up should be executed IF you can get the right price AND you expect the Index to move toward 2900 and stay there until July AND it fits your account profile for risk. You should never look at any...

When you say free, if you are asking if you can't lose money, it looks like 'if" you can get this off at the place I simulated your max loss without fees is about $200. These markets are very wide and you will have fees. The risk/reward looks good if you can get this on at the right price. IF>...

I do not see you being able to buy the put fly for 1.00 as the midpoint is more like 1.75 or sell the condor for 28.75 as that midpoint is about 28 ish. These are your nets with the current midpoint. The delta is about -.03 but you make max profit at 2900.

How do you buy an iron fly for a credit? If you want me to look at a spread, I'd rather look at real prices and all the legs spelled out with live prices.
