Whatever is the account minimum to open an account with a broker who has a suitable API for automated trading is the barrier to entry. IB might be as low as $5k I believe. You can then purchase an automated trading platform software (or use the one offered by your broker e.g. Tradestation)...

Is there a specific reason why you want to access the optionsXpress Australia site?

This should be interesting.

Yes please. It would also have multiple benefits pertaining to aliases and quality of posting I suspect. My preference is different to yours though: I would favor a straight subscription model with a minimum of $100p/a. Remove the "in-forum" sponsors entirely. Banner ads etc. are fine if...

aye.

Derivman has not grasped this concept yet. In fact he'll probably reply to this even though I'm addressing you. What a good idea. I'll submit my vote to the moderators.

Indeed I was. We all know it's textbook Internet scamming: Plant the idea that 1) You're open to PMs and 2) Other people have done it so you are not alone. Thankfully, this thread is coming to an end. He's been "outed", debunked and discredited.

Just saw his posts about PMs. Didn't see that one coming...

This thread was getting a little boring but has become quite amusing once again. Is there anyone that Derivman hasn't threatened to report to the mods? He thinks that because he got banned so quickly last week, he can effect the same fate on other people. He's in for a surprise. The scam...

You have obviously not read the thread. Derivman is another alias for someone that has been banned and removed from ET and trade2win several times before. It probably took him by surprise how quickly he got banned from ET so now he is doing this "profuse apologizing" act. He is proceeding...

Unfortunately, going to the last page is not quite the same as going to the last post. You still need to scroll down. If you have set your options to show a large number of posts per page then it can be a bit of a way to scroll. The go to last post link is really ideal for those of us that...

I'm genuinely curious why you post on ET. A review of your posts seems to suggest that you believe you know everything already. Many of your posts are tantamount to telling people how dumb they are. I'm only half-kidding. I'm curious to know exactly what you derive from your time spent here...

I think everyone is aware that Derivman is in fact the same troll that got banned at the weekend who went by the aliases CYOF and theht. I was however curious to see what hard evidence he was going to come up with to refute the links I posted when his very own "expert source" that he is...

You're not factoring in time decay silly! (*cough* *cough*)

You're right, I'd be skeptical about anything the Chicago Board Options Exchange has to say about options - they are not likely to know what they are talking about and probably don't have very good access to data to base their judgements on. Why don't you show me the hard evidence backed with...

OK, that's enough entertainment for me. We've all played along with your new alias but the joke is getting a little old. Perhaps if you change the subject a little, I'd be happy to play along again.

The only statistics I referred to was that mentioned earlier in the thread. If you want to debunk it you can do so yourself using your built in black box. Just because the information is on a website does not mean it has any credibility. Even if it is a financial site, or rather...

So you accept that in the futures example, you can have different numbers of winners and losers but still be a zero sum game? Yes or no? With options you have buyers and sellers of premium. You can have differing numbers of buyers and sellers just as with the futures example. There is no...
