opps.. well. read above for my reply! :)

Has anyone used this on TOS (think or swim)? Any other recommended reading for futures trading? Thanks

Hang in there man, you'll get it. This is an insane market, enough so that I pulled most of my positions off the market back in July after the 7/15 sell off. The important thing is that we are able to show up tomorrow.

The real question is this: what sort of enterprising man would be able to sustain an account balance which would generate 100K per day. Moreover, if one is making 100k per day, how many days a year is he actually trading. Consider the following. If have a blowout day where I bring home a...

Does anyone on here have experience managing long term condors, such as 9-12 months out, probably using leaps? The profit profile near the strike can be similar to that of a call write with put protection, however the condor requires substantially less capital. Probably not a terribly...

I didn't read the entire post to see if any body mentioned this yet, but your idea is basically parallel to the point and figure (X&O) charting method. I've been using Dorsey Wright for their charts from sometime now, and have not made any trade decisions using point and figure, but I could see...

Right, but it could be an interesting tool if they had daily expiration sets, instead of monthly.

Guys, how are the binary options that much different that vertical spread positions? I know they'll be much easier to trade, but on initial glance, there seems to be no advantage to binaries. I traded these on a betting exchange while in England many years ago, they are a neat product, any...

right, back to the thread. One of the reasons this thread caught my attention is the possible discussion of managing a vertical along with a single or multiple calendar spreads... manly to control greeks.

Cowdis, I agree. I have a 10 lot calendar position on GLD right now that I'm moving around just for practice. I chose this underlying primarly because of its price ranging and the large volumes on the option set, hoping to get good fills. I added a second 10 lot today several strikes...

When you add your second calendar to get the bulk of your position near the current price of the underlying what ratio have you maintained with the previously employed position? For instance, if you had a 10 contract position and the underlying went down to the next strike do you guys...

Don, So far the greater portion of the discussion has been over trading fees and basic overhead conditions. If I could I would like to ask a few questions of your operation and how it may appeal to equity option traders. I've been trading equity option positions for several years now...

I need TOS to offer us an OIL future...

Cheers to the Fair Tax..... Actually, let me see, "fair-tax"... is that a contradictory idea? :)

How to you think the IRS will view the LCC as a pass through entity?

As per your original post, I relay my situation just for reference. I'm in the first 6 months of a trading program I developed. Its current ROI is +/- 65%. We started with 100K, and I plan to run the program for at minimum 2 years and towards 700K - 1M in capital before I quite my day...

I would also be interested in the same if anybody has any suggestions. Thx

My cat is not sure what to make of this...

I'm still trying to determine why they sent me this silly monkey anyhow.
