    Amsterdam Quote

    Doesnt work IB only has a limited amount of symbols in their demo version and AEX stocks are not included. So if IB is his broker just pay the $5 if you cant miss the $5 a month than you shouldnt trade at all.

    Amsterdam Quote

    If you use IB as a broker you can get that data for only $5 a month (level1) works perfect with quotetracker (free). If you want really perfect free EOD charts for Dutch stocks (also USA, France etc.) just register at www.prorealtime.com. I am not affiliated with this company but I like their...

    I think you traded this way in the major bull market of the late 90s and/or the major bear market but with the current conditions and smaller moves I think the spreads in options are most of the time to big to make money on a 1,5 to 2,5 dollar move in the underlying but I will definitely look at it.

    But what do you do with all the set ups you miss because you focus on just that position assuming the stock doesnt hit your stop but also doesnt move really your way?

    SPX Credit Spread Trader

    Hi coach, I really like this thread and I am curious with how many contracts you advise us to start this strategy if you know what you are doing off course. In other words is this strategy worth the effort to do it with 1-3 contracts if your broker is IB? Best regards, Maurice
