In a bull market this would work, in a bear market you will bleed. This could easily be automated and back tested to see how its done in the past(during bull and bear markets), however, obviously past performance is not indicative of future results. Everyone should know the S&P 500 overall has...

Interesting, thanks for the insights on the approval. I am curious which broker would you consider a "real futures broker"?

If you could be so kind to PM me the minimum income, liquating equity, and net worth, it would save us both some time. $25k minimum deposit isn't an issue.

I am wondering if anyone here has experience with getting approval to trade future options? I am hearing TastyWorks is the easiest since the owner has trading experience and knows how to mange their risk. However, their margin rates are pretty expensive. I am mainly interested in...

Nat gas can't even beat inflation in the long run, But hell, so hasn't the S&P the past year so maybe he is on to something with betting on production :D

please excuse my ignorance but how do you "borrow and withdraw"? As I thought it only auto borrows when you buy/short stock. I am unaware of a way to borrow without buying/shorting stock

So what are your requirements for future options?

There are programs that you can input your trades/statements in. Those are pretty good. I also have a tablet I use to write down notes on some trades

There are some free commission brokers that have no minimum to open and also give you a free stock up to $1,000 if you signed up. PM me if interested

Unless you are trading with billions, why would anyone short the S&P 500? So many other better indexes, products, etc to short. The S&P 500 was built to not fall hard and so many people want that thing up. We are talking the greatest minds on the planet, fortune 500 CEO's, Presidents, FED...

Surely the average/standard must be known For portfolio margin they normally list it IB "To qualify for a Portfolio Margin account, your Net worth and Liquid Net Worth must each be greater than 100,000 USD" TD "you must meet minimum requirements and have at least $125,000 in total equity.*"...

What I want to know is if you can use the margin loan on other things besides stocks like real estate. For example. E*Trade allows you to borrow up to 50% of your portfolio and you can use it for real estate and others

What is the minimum income, networth and net liquidating equity to be approved for the highest tier? TD Ameritrade seems to require the highest tier to trade any kind of futures options.

DEX will 100% be the future, "absolute power corrupts absolutely" These centralized exchanges give the finger to consumer to follow people in a suit. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Sad but understandable of course.

But, is it really the "full $25,000" if earn2trade can seemingly randomly decide users can't swing trade and can only trade intraday? As intraday margin is only $300-$500. Meaning the funded account is really equivalent to only a $900(3 lots intraday margin) + Drawdown. Far from a full $25k...

$200 is really low, However If you are in the US I know of 2 brokers that give you a free stock up to $1,000 just for 5 min sign up. They also both have free commissions. One also has free paper trading. This can help you get started for sure since its free commissions and can add more $ to...

As warren buffet says, "there is no called strikes" However, intraday trader by definition has strikes as to be an intraday trader you must trade intraday :D I sometimes trade intraday but I also have long term positions. I will say this tho, Warren Buffet started at 11 and become a...

yea, I heard if you are trading other peoples money that means you are a pro. Other than that, you should be good. Just don't go around saying you are a "pro".

ThinkOrSwim has the Index which is real time I believe. The ticker is HSI:HK Free tho seems closed right now?

"Should I just take out a crap ton of student loan debt now so that I can pay it off when hyperinflation hits? " Lets just hope this is facetious, as mortgaging your life is not the best risk strategy If there is any concern just hedge or prepare for whatever, Some prepare to a point where...
