Hey Nick, Yea I agree, ur probably limited to ES, ZN, CL and mbey 6E. When I first started wanting to trade future options I wanted to trade the weeklies of the currencies. However I couldn't get taken up on my offers. I sat there for 5 mins waiting once. Even if you offer better than the...

Run a back test Study

Thats my dream setup abbot. I'l stick with my $200 netbook in the meantime.

Nice 1 Ogar. Is the screen on the left for your open positions? That was my plan. Nice background :D

Good idea FX to dodge the PDT :) I usually trade on the day before expiry because u av some kind of cushion. I'm fairly sure that trading on expiry day is the most high risk thing you can do on the market. Hey u may do quite well tho. Risk and reward.

Yup, Start on Auz, Hongkong. Then make my way over to the German / French markets followed by some late night trading on the US / Canada markets. Which is great considering that I've decided not to sleep anymore. Tisnt' easi, What were you planning on doing?

Wuz the story? Have you only been buying calls? Depends how far u are away from expiry IMO. 1 month out and u could afford to take on a bit more risk with Otm trading. Whilst 3 days to expiry an ATM / ITM option would be your only choice. Of course iv never actually bought to open...

Huh? Av u placed a trade yet?? BUY! BUY! BUY!

Lol :D

Ge nemesis, I didn't even know these sort of options trades existed. Very conservative.

Yea, tell me about it. I've been trading index opt, lost my last 6 or so trades. Although 1 or them was my fault caus I accidentally brought a put instead of a call .:confused: Well, that's why's I only use 1k contracts when trying something new. I went back and checked and stock...

Thanks for your help supertrader.... Will take ur advice on board. Do u trade the SPX weeklies as well?

You can with see the open interest with IB. However I'm not sure for each individual contract tho. If your with Ib then open up their specialized "options trading platform" I've seen the Open Interest for this however it was for the whole underlying, not for each contract. I think if you...

Oh, right. Yea I don't av the $25k either. I got up to $30k. Then I went back down to $17k after my broker stuffed up, now I'm at $20k. I think u are capped at 5 trades per week or something like that. Thanks for reminding me. I look it up now. C u there
