What is the strategy in a nutshell? I can't stand watching Tom.

Yeah i wasn't that interested, personally, in ZIM and or even shorting shorting. Was looking for longs and doing a one to five day conversion for pennies and low margin/commission.

Matt, I appreciate the work here, but I am a humble retail guy whose eyes glaze over at what looks like stat overkill to me. Are you saying I can hit a button or two and a scan the whole stock and futures universe for real time conversion/reversion plays will appear?

Darn. I was hoping ….

Confused. You’re trading in a Roth and you are left with short call after selling the stock? You can do that?

I’ve been finding no commission and/or fee trades at one broker and low fee at others. I do wonder about the interest on the per trade margin, though.

By any chance any services scan for reversals/conversions?

I thought only market-makers called them that. Apologies.

XYZ bought at 10 and simultaneously selling a 10 call and using the premium for buying a 10 put, all the same expiration.

What should the margin be with portfolio margin? Should I be pleased with tying up 10 percent or so of the underlying? mean, really, what is the risk I need to post margin for? How can I blow up? What if I used ES/MES and SPAN?

So after the CC I buy a put? Anyway of combining the CC and the LP for one debit or credit and trading it in one fell swoop at that price?

I’m wondering if anyone has a program out there that allows for buying and selling a collar or reverse collar without legging in. Like sell for .10 credit or something.

Trying to ween myself off IB. Does TradeStation do both FX and Futures? What about IG? Can an U.S. citizen use it?

Convergence trade, seems like to me.

Hence short futures long spot, no?

Thanks again.

Thanks much. Interesting idea, the Series III.

Newbie to Forex again. Thanks for your indulgence. I was wondering what I am missing in the following rough calculation of a spread between the cash Swissie and the Mar futures. Lets say I long 100K cash at 1.18500 for about 1K margin. And I short the March futures at 1.19500 for about 2,500...

Gotcha. Thanks.
