Star trader? wtf. 10 bucks isn't that much at an IB. In that same article it says that fixed income trading generated 21.5 billion in 2009. who cares about his revenue.

i trade the options fairly actively. short august calls at strikes of 21, 27.5, and 35. bought back aug. calls with a strike of 30 on friday for a decent loss. probably take some more off next week, but losses are offsetting some of the gains from a fairly large es/ym short position and long...

http://www.nysedata.com/alerts - can get it directly from the exchange but of course not a valid option for retail other than that i know reuters carries is it and bloomberg publishes it as news. other than that i don't think you'll be able to get it and if you can i'd be interested also...

How did you get that chart? Do you subscribe to risklatte.com? and if so how much does it cost? thanks

I almost exclusively sell premium. Tend to sell as far out of the money as I can and buy some ATM options with some of the premium. Sometimes I even make good money on the ATM options as long as the market somewhat slowly approaches the OTM options thus making the ATM options ITM. But mainly...

Any plans on offering the option products on the IPE?

actually this is available to the general public through interactive brokers. they give you access to bonddesk ecn, nyse automated bond system, and the timber hill bond auto-execution. so you can trade bonds like you would anything else, although the spreads are pretty wide for the bonds i've...

do you trade spreads between the notes and if so do you calculate the DV01 based on the cheapest to deliver? seems like such a hassle in order to create a correct spread so i've been avoiding them

Esignal is great for watching spreads cause you can just type in the a spread like " 5GE U4 - 3ZQ U4" and you'll see the 5:3 eurodollar-fed funds spread. I have the EOD version of esignal cause too expensive for me to pay all the exchange fees since i watch quite a few different spreads like...
