mjt - the high on the EXPE Feb 55 call is posted as 2.70 so it might be worth doing some further checking to make sure you didn't get screwed on your execution But assuming that the high quote is wrong and it should have been $3 - you have to remember that option prices aren't solely...

tampa - probably right about trend days - but one of things I still find interesting when watching these charts is how the price movement behaves. Take the S&P emini chart today for example. It ran right up into the EMA resistance line and faded. Stalled for over 30 minute exactlu at the...

tampa - agree with you. Check the release notes page for doc on the RT program - it's http://www.3mtinc.com/tprtreleasenotes.htm - best thing to do is read it from the bottom up because the release notes are presented in reverse chronological order

tampa - are you also using the TP realtime program? If not, you should check it out - in addition to automatically presenting the SRs for you, it has a lot of other features like action maps, studies unique to TP, buy/sell signal generation capability, etc. Also, in the end of day program...

If they end up being traded like other futures contracts - you'll need a futures trading account (not your current equity account) and no MM/ECN or SOES/ISLD/etc. stuff They'll only have a meaningful impact on normal equity trading if there's enough volume. Otherwise, they'll wind up being a...

dottom, et al - I'm curious why you expect that a system must work across multiple markets to be valid? Private trading firms I've done work for have all used computerized systems specific to the individual market - whether index futures, metals, grains, stocks, etc. Their quants...

janko - dual citizenship doesn't free you from US taxes. You can take a foreign tax credit on your US return, but the IRS believes that all your income regardless of where earned is theirs - and they'll just grudgingly let you keep some of their money :)

Pat's right - the exclusion applies to foreign earned income - specifically income marked as foreign on a W-2 or similar statement. Earnings from trading a US account, regardless of where you are physically domiciled, wouldn't fall under the exclusion. However, you might be able to do...

avenida - check your Etrade margin agreement, but it almost certainly says that all joint account holders are responsible for the collective account debt. That means that even if you manage to file bankruptcy to evade your obligations, your mother would still retain the full account...

GAT - what kind of scans/analysis are you interested in running?

It's been discussed in several earlier threads along with other sites. Try using the search feature to find them - at this moment, there are 16 different threads where "underground" is used.

Where are they going to trade? Under the Commodity Futures Modernization Act, SSFs are supposed to be treated as securities at least as far as the application of the SEC's margin rules, etc. A few SSFs trade on European futures exchanges I believe, but I haven't seen anything about...

Of course, unless anyone actually tried to execute against those quotes and succeeded, it's not possible to tell whether it was just a data reporting/datafeed glitch (in which case the condition didn't really exist and there's no way to know what the real state of the quotes were) or if any...

QCharts can show the ISLD book in a separate window but the ISLD bid/ask quotes are not integrated into the overall L2 (that just shows the top from each ECN).

Not a common thing to do. Your specific laptop's video adapter would have to have specific support for dual head operation or there would have to be support for adding and use a second adapter in a docking station (or alternately support for switching to a second dual head adapter in the...

mskl - Not sure whether you need streaming option data or if you can use realtime snapshots. If you can use snapshots (you can refresh them at an interval if you want to), the CBOE has a realtime snapshot quotes subscription that costs about $10/month and the data quality is better than any...

shawn - run, don't walk, as fast and far away from Wizetrade as possible. It's been discussed on another couple of threads before. It looks to be the same people and same junk being heavily hyped a year or two ago under the acronym WOW (not to be confused with Windows on Wall St). WOW was...

GATrader - Re: time & sales for futures - you're right for the non-electronic match markets, they're basically still picking up a sale by listening to the pit and keying it into a computer that then puts it on the tape (price only, no volume info for the transaction). But the electronic...

stock_punter - Be careful - it's got some shades of Elliot Wave baloney. Historical charts look good when they selectively pick the days and draw the lines in hindsight. Looks like a caveat emptor, especially if you're talking about throwing $3K at it.

Are you sure your chart goes to 4:30pm ET? My charts show it only going to 4:15pm ET. The QQQ and the SPY and the DIA do trade until 4:15pm ET to coincide with regular trading of the related futures. BBH trading cuts off at 4pm ET.
