U clearing through Gain? I assume u are with OEC. They are a bucket shop so they will be using their bucketshop techniques on you. That money you lost went straight into the GAIN bank account.

Firetip? One of my most hated :p. Best is probably ninjatrader. However ninjatrader doesn't allow options. First for me for options would be CGQ q trader. Mainly for their DOM.... looks the best I recon. The options chains look kinda funny. U know Ironbeam's main platform is Firetip?

It was a pretty messy day. Shame we don't get more nice n easy trend days.

Wasn't the primamry cause because some trader sent through 25000 contracts ES sell market order?

Thanks, says he still lives with his parents. lol Es isn't doing much ATM. Might move around when Europe opens.

Es hit resistance 1993 around mid-session then dropped off, it was the same resistance as a few hours earlier. Did any land that reversal? Would have been a good trade for 16ish points. That story about Navinder has been on bloomberg for ages. I thought they arrested him wrongly, I think he...

Think of how many traders set their auto-trades overnight and then go to sleep.

Hi, I think IB is ur best bet..... whether you like the platform or not your profitability probably depends on it. IB always comes first on Barrons reviews. It sounds like ur trading over a longer period of time so fees might not be so much of an issue. Nothing comes close to matching IB's...

Ok, TY for you reasoning.

What about 1974?

There have been 2 obvious support points around this level in the last 2 traing days. Should be a good trade. How many points r you going for?

Yea, I like the ES options best. I recon they are the only contract that you can get a fill (midpoint) on outside RTH with the weeklies, I tried with ZN and 6A and couldn't get a fill......... and if I can't get filled @ the mid, then I ain't putting the trade on. I don't know how people trade...

Ok, I've never really looked into spy however lots of people here talk about and trade it. So r u day-trading those Spy options? When I first started trading, I traded straddles 1 month out. Es spat out some good support trades last Wed, Thurs during RTH. Which uz more than likely talked...

Thanks for posting that equity curve Spectre. It did look a short time frame. I'm guessing that it is a long strategy. Mbey do it over a long time-frame an isolate the reasons it might have a few declines on the curve. I've seen some curves have a moving averages on the curve itself. I...

Hi Spectre, Could you put this systym into an equity curve so I can look at it. TY

I don't really view this as illegal. I mean it sounds like they were just agreeing on prices for the land? Sounds like the government might have lost $$. Any1 upset they lost $$? I only dislike the whole market maniupulation, spoofing, insider trading or basically anything where people will...

I'd stay away from e-trade to. They are always comming last on barrons reviews. If the account isn't open and funded then close the account. If u plan on holding the trade for a while then it should be ok. If you decide to day-trade the ul need a different broker.

Ur obligated to the agreement only on the expiry date. That is, to purchase the underlying (in this case oil) on the expiry date. 100% obligated. That is for the buyers of course. The sellers have to provide the underlying. This is the definition of a futures contact. " To fix the current...

Only way to trade risk free is to ARB trade.
