Hey Joey, the popular ones are Ninjatrader, Think or swim, TWS (IB), Cqg and TT. The trading technologies platforms look really nice. I like their DOMs / charts.

I tried putting 5K in a RCG account via IB and they rejected my application. Saying I didn't have enough experience. I thought 4 years would have been ok.o_O. Newwurldumn, tiz just a dream to get out of the many fees I'm faced with. Just something I would like. I wasn't really thinking...

I don't think CME should take any hit. It should just be traders vs traders. If som1 doesn't have enough to cover a trade then to bad. Anyway, this has been a interesting thread. Wedbush went kinda crazy in this. Looks like the business world is no longer about money. :o

Lol, I still remember one of my last trades at IB. I think I brought around 4K worth of SPX opt and was charged something like crazy like $300 or $400 or something. I don't care what their reason is, I aint paying that just to enter a trade. So I decided to jump ship. I mainly trade fops...

Yea I agree 100% conduit, We really should have direct access to CME :). No FCMs, brokers, routing and other nonsense. There is no excuse. As you said, there are other industries where people can just rock up and have direct access so we should have that for our trading. The thing is tho...

It all looks quite interesting to me. Did u want to join? I think you can sell pokemon that you catch out and about to raise extra funds as well :o

You have some serious patience if your gonna try to land a black swan event, hence where you get the name from. Option buyers look at serious gaps for EOD charts and day-dream about taking that massive slice of cheese from the market. I guess this thread is just to talk about it. From my...

Well we just pushed through the new highs. Happy days ahead people! This made Puts very cheap. Should be happy days for buyers. XD. I thought a while ago that we were going to have the ES bounce off the previous "peaks of resistance". I mean the resistance points if you look at the 20 year...

I thought that tradebook is attached to the bloomberg terminals. You couldn't access it without coughing up 75K

Sorri I can't help, your like the complete opposite to me. I've never executed before, I've never traded around dividends and I only trade from the chart. I don't look at fundamentals like what the price of oil is doing and how its related to the share price. Best of luck Stadmuller.

I started trading around 2012 (studied the market for about 2 years before hand) and this was a major story back then. I remember them addmitting that they couldn't get out of the trade. http://www.businessinsider.com.au/jp-morgan-loss-grows-2012-5 and wikipedia...

Hey Danjuma, I'm a buyer only, I just don't like the risk involved in selling options. Of course they perform better, because there is more risk. When I first started trading options there was a story on JP morgan which involved JP placing a relative big trade on something and it went against...

Define hegde? If there is a serious move like the CHF will you lose a tonne of cash? Is the risk of your trades exceed your account balance? Then they might have a reason for it. It all sounds quite strange tho. As I'm sure you know in the finance world you will get a wide range of...

Hi Sle, Do you mean holding more calls open to even things out?

well, looks like we recovered from the Brexit. Some of my friend who aren't traders recon that the Brexit was gonna cause the next recession. I seriously can't see the ES drop out of the sky without some sort of serious catalyst, and I mean bad financial issues, like a major country...

My issue with buying straddles in the US is the IV drop. As the market rises IV drops. Like trying to swim up a waterfall IMO. Even if the options were priced correctly so that at expiry the payout would be in line with historical data. What I mean is that if I placed 100 Trades randomly...

What could possibly go wrong shodson? :)

So you say your holding the straddle over expiry shodson?

I went from 5K to 30K in my first 6 months trading straddles. These were outside of the US tho. I don't think my strategies would have worked for US stocks. One of the good things about them is that you don't have to guess direction. Which is why I traded them. I was paper trading and I...
