Why not work for a hedge fund?

Indeed. It's not likely that the device stops within a few years. These devices are typically registered (with the 'security supplier' like AES) for few years, after that time you'll probably receive a new one automatically. But when you close your account you have to send it back. That's a...

Then you need $150 to buy another...

IB uses different tokens. The passcode card is the simplest. It's a card with 200 numbered codes on it. So they don't change but that doesn't matter for security. So I'm happy with it...

No, this is not possible. Generated number is only relevant in combination with time. I have the passcode card myself and I actually like it better than a token. Security is equal, CC format and no $150 fine when lost. And no bateries of course...

Not becuase of regulations obviously... I found this (probably a former ECN): ================ NexTrade www.nextrade.org Market Maker ID: NTRD Developed in the late 1990s and owned by Professional Investment Management, Inc., NexTrade was the first ECN to offer 24-hour trading to...

Regulations I presume.....

Why? 50% of the times they are profitable for the pairs trader.

Not true. Relatively stops in all situations are the same.

EMC will initially hold 90% of the shares in VMWare. Considering that VMWare is worth $10 billion at the IPO (30% of EMC value), when the share goes form $22 to $30, EMC share will be up approx. 2.5 dollar.

I also received the passcode card. I assume the $150 fine when not returning when closing an account does only apply to the electronic devices and not the cards?

Anyone know if there is a list for which stocks you can buy an EFP? Maybe the same as OneChicago offers?

Andy, First, thanks for sharing your trades and ideas about spread trading! I'm also planning to get started with (index futures) spreads. You mentioned the rollover somewhere. Is this an automated process or do you have to do this manually? My current understanding is that, when you...

I'm only looking at the bid-ask.

Thanks. I assume there must be more reasons because the prices are very different (much more than a 5% difference in underlying shares could explain...).

I just looked at Yahoo and noticed that the AMD call option series with expiration date May have a lower price than the same calls which expire in April. April: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/os?s=AMD&m=2007-04 May: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/os?s=AMD&m=2007-05 Also note the...

Depends on the $. When it gets weaker chances are higher for the S&P 500 to go above 1350.

You also have to consider the currency which he used to invest. When this currency dropped (in the mentioned period) by, say, a factor 10 compared to the other major currencies, his results are more obvious. Same as what happens with the DOW nowadays, it is not strange that it breaks new...

At which exchange? At BOX it can also be due to the price improvement mechanism...

Anybody seen this presentation? http://www.businessjive.com/nss/darkside.html Is this really a problem? I would expect this to have most effect on small caps.
