I suggest you start out trying a covered call where you buy 100 shares and then sell one call against it. This will give you some working experience with options. Then read a few books.

Inside TWS under menu "Ticker" -> select Futures Rollover A menu appears that lets you select your contract. Br Gustaf

1. Ctrl + Print Screen 2. open mspaint 3. ctrl +v 4. select the area of interest. 5. ctrl + c 6. set image attributes 1 pixel width, 1 pixel height. 7. ctrl +v There are also other ways like using "snagit".

I have made a very beta version of the application now. It connects to directly IB TWS. I have added support for viewing Iron Condor trades. Ideally soon there is also functionality to browse around increase / decrease month, widen / narrowing the spread. There is still a ton of work...

Ok so I see bid/ask 13800/14395 in UXM7 now. The last spot price is US$113.00/lb. One UXM7 contract is 250/lb, with a price of $14395/250 that equals to ~$57.50/lb. What am i missing out?

It would be nice to have the probability of expiration on options for example. I like the overview better with IB, having all positions in one page.

Which strategies did you employ?

Yes agree with you, it may not be profitable just because they teach it. Iam gonna give it a try, just to learn the stuff. If no trade appears then nothing lost in that.
