40, You tested on SP data but you're going to trade the E-minis, is that correct? I've tested systems using both data and I've found them to give much different results. If I were you, I'd test the system on the available E-mini data to see if your results change. My 2 cents.

40, I'm glad you're disregarding the naysayers. People like you is what helped to make this country great. I concur with another poster: "If I could buy calls on you, I would." I trust that you'll be fine.

I agree. I think the picture you painted is quite accurate.

FWIW, I would never trade using Martingale bet-sizing. I want to be around to trade tomorrow. I tried doubling-down in my early years, and it really affected my trading psychology. There are plenty of ways run up an acct. without using Martingale betting techniques. Do you have a plan for...

To get the dividend.

If you're the only one in the LLC and you meet the non-professional requirements otherwise, I'd press them on the issue. I opened a corp. acct. with them a few years ago, and I don't pay prof. fees, but maybe things have changed since then.

When I was 16 I had some extra cash from farming. I always loved numbers and money, and I knew then that farming wasn't enough of a mental challenge for me. My uncle taught me how to read the WSJ and I proceeded buy an oil service stock that was going down, down, down. Well, I couldn't let...

I have traded them for years. Liquidity is excellent for both contracts, but the notes trade in 1/2 ticks with more size. December is the front month, so bonds: ZBZ02 notes: ZNZ02

ZN is 100k, and outcry and ACE are the same size and same fluctuation. Yes, ZN is ACE. No, you can't trade outcry through IB.

39, B.S. in Finance. I farmed with my granddad from when I was 13 until I was 23. No full time work experience (I refuse to wear a suit to work!) other than that and doing some carpentry during the summer breaks from college. Floor trader from age 25-38. Trading from home now.

Yes, they are the same, assuming the same # of options per strike. SPX, e.g., five 775 calls and five 775 puts acts the same as ten 775 calls, as long as they're hedged. If you know the synthetics then you already know this.

During "normal" markets, breaking even might be difficult. But this year, there have been lots of opportunities. Earlier in the year, you could buy lots of cheap options, so the volatility in the market after that was gravy. Now, things are a bit expensive. I'm not saying we won't have enough...

I've never had a pc that kept the correct time. If you need a clock that matches the exchanges' time, you can buy a clock that sets itself via radio signal to the correct atomic time. That's what I have, but I don't need it now since IB and Qcharts have an accurate clock built into their...

500 SPY = 1 e-mini

My futures account has been stable all morning, but I was only able to access my stock account for a few minutes today. It's on login attempt #101 now...

Garbo, Just did a Google search. Try: http://www.bba.org.uk/public/ If you can't find anything there, e-mail the CME. They should be able to tell you where to get the data. See also: http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred/data/wkly/dtb3 This is the daily 3-month T-Bill rate since...
