Hello people, I am looking to hire someone to build an equity options screening tool. What is out there on the market (Optionvue, etc.) does not provide what I need for my specific trading system/style. I would appreciate any advice on what to look for in a prospective candidate. Such as...

Actually, it's pretty much the same for equities. You just see offers/asks from each MM/IB instead of a different exchange... If you look at ask or offer list for a particular stock, you will see a single MM listed only once...

That screen of yours shows only the highest and lowest per each exchange. Where did you get the idea that you will be able to see all of the "active orders"?

How do you know 6.00 ask "disappears"? You just have a better ask for that particular exchange. Anything is more expensive is just not visible to you. That would be my guess based on what you've said so far... And 6.00 "appears" again after you cancel your order, since it becomes the lowest once...

The same can be said about SNDK. Great short for tomorrow after the retail orders are filled at the open...

I was just going to say that... There are probably going to be "senior" traders and management that will get 5-10 mil each... Unfortunatley, an average worker will probably get no more than 10-15% of their salary...

I was only referring to the market makers' ability to spike up volume on thinly traded underlying when they need to hedge their positions...

Such nonsense should not be even dignified with a response... Sell what? Puts or Calls? Trade the underlying? What if another "big" investment bank is doing the opposite? What would you do with the "manipulated" underlying after the expiration? Who says it would not go against you come Monday...

Here is some interesting information... It looks like there's been some changes in the law... Also, Section 877 is supposed to be the "punishment"... http://www.irs.gov/instructions/i8854/ch01.html#d0e155

Your residence in Monaco would not entitle you to a citizenship/passport of that country. It takes over 10 years of residence to earn that... I think there is a general confusion out there on the difference between residence and citizenship. By the way, if you give up your US citizenship before...

Before this "new" thread gets out of control, here are your bullet points: - Monaco does not have income tax or capital gains for INDIVIDUALS residing there - You need to spend at least 183 days in the principality to be considered an official resident. Of course you have to own or rent...

Dude, your ignorance is starting to annoy even me... I did try to take you seriously, but common! The fact is you don't know jack about the hedge fund industry and what an actual hedge fund is... By the way, what's your leverage in Forex? 50 to 1? You are not going to run "public" money with...

"compared to someone else, who is a high-school drop out, but can trade currencies proficiently and competently, and produce 75% a year, the smartest will money go to the later." Am I correct to assume that would be you? :) Well, I have to disagree somewhat... 75% vs. 40%? 40% may win...

"formal education" sometimes helps to end up working on Wall St. for major IBs... If you do your research, you will see that most (not all) major successful funds are run by people with such background. That's how they tend to establish their name and client base so they can go and raise money...

Who makes investment decisions? You? That would make you a money manager as well... So, that on top of your "investment LLC" issues that you have to worry about... Since you mentioned that you live in Europe, keep in mind that a money manager profession is a very highly regulated activity in...

Hmmm... "Biography: Im a 19 year old university student, with a passion for trading" in 2002... That makes you what? 22 now? How far back do you remember? 12 grade diploma? Maybe... Just expect to spend $ tens of thousand on compliance... It's not enough just to register an LP or LLC...

LOL Classic! He could probably debate his alter ego... Why post on ET then?

Don't try... You really have to be smoking the same stuff he does :)

How do you know he does not have a "successful trading methodology"??? Don't you just hate patronizing posts?
