    suggested ES/MES broker for low frequency trades

    And I would add that, if you happen to use Sierra Chart and SC's Denali data feed, all-in cost would be the same as Volume Tiered/TT-Trading Technologies.

    Traits of Elite Traders: What Sets Them Apart?

    @SimpleMeLike You provide much needed comic relief. I like it! I just add your posts to my salt shaker. :)

    suggested ES/MES broker for low frequency trades

    That is not the all-in cost for most of AMP's customers.

    Using VVIX and VIX to Project the Range for SPX

    I've seen "pairs trading" mentioned a number of times in a number of places, but have never really looked into what that's all about. But your comment is interesting, enough so that, out of curiosity, I'll look into it just to add to my knowledge base. As far as Chicago, I don't see that ever...

    Using VVIX and VIX to Project the Range for SPX

    Okay, thanks for checking my math. However, I understand using √52 and √30 for weekly and monthly, respectively, but I don't understand using 16 for your one day range. I de-annualized for daily using √252 and came up with a range for this past Friday of 4,744.55 and 4819.47. Given Friday's...

    Using VVIX and VIX to Project the Range for SPX

    Understood; however, if you did decide to use VIX as your projection method, and since plugging the calculation formulas into a spreadsheet is easy, it seems using VVIX, as well, would be a good idea. Now, if using VIX alone gives you something pretty close to VVIX and VIX, then maybe it's not...

    Using VVIX and VIX to Project the Range for SPX

    A few days ago, I posted this in an older thread, but, apparently, that thread had exceeded its shelf life. So let me ask again, here: Am I calculating the upcoming 30-day range for SPX correctly using VVIX and VIX? I will use this past Thursday’s (1/11) closing numbers because I had already...

    Your opinion about this 0DTE strategy from tastylive presented ?

    This thread got me to wondering whether you can use VVIX and VIX to project future ranges -- something I came across online indicates that it is possible. I tried and came up with the following for the upcoming 30 days, but need someone who actually does this to look over the math. Using...

    AMP and Teton

    I haven't had any issues with Teton. Plus, you won't have to pay the CQG routing fee of $0.20/RT.

    AMP and Teton

    Try this: Make sure you have no open positions and no trade executions for that day Login to your funded AMP account Select Trade Desk from left panel Under that, select Live Trading Setup Request At top, click New Live Trading Setup Request Fill out the form At the bottom of the form, select...

    Index futures automation

    You don't know how to calculate your credit and you actually tried to initiate an options trade? That makes me cringe! :)

    Index futures automation

    Thanks for posting this. I'm no code guru, far from it. I know enough to get my own algos coded, and then use the VS debugger to work out problems. It works, but it's all pretty sloppy. I so need to learn how to do all that and more. You've just given me the push I needed. Thanks, again. :)

    Index futures automation

    Using QT, can you rerun the day in back-test mode? If so, use Visual Studio to compile a debug version so you can step through your code, or set some breakpoints to stop code execution so you can check variables, etc. Much easier to track down problems using the VS debugger. Otherwise, you're...

    AMP and Teton

    $1.04 for MES. Pretty sure MNQ is the same.

    Index futures automation

    I've been watching some of QT's videos and it looks interesting. I trade through AMP, as well, and it looks like the full version of QT is available to us for free. If so, QT is probably building up their user base and, who knows, at some point they may do what SC did. But for now, you are only...

    Broker silently changed the conditions...

    Then how can Tasty Trade clearly state: The premium received from the sale of the put can be applied to the initial requirement.

    Broker silently changed the conditions...

    How can that be correct because Tasty Trade allows you to apply the premium to the initial margin requirement -- strike minus premium -- so must be broker-dependent. Right? If so, then the OP's example of strike: 4 and premium 3.80 would mean that, at Tasty Trade, he would, in fact, only need...
