I meant to say don't see why you CAN'T have 2 accounts. I agree, what u r doing is perfectly fine.

It seems to me that this can be done in one account?!? And as far as collusion, the "agencies" will look at it if it is some sort of tax scheme. Other than that, don't see why you can have 2 accounts, one long and one short the same instrument, but actively trading both sides.

What is the software in the screen shots? Never seen it before, and does it handle the code and the trades all in one?

Did u design this strategy yourself? I like what I see, would like to know more under the hood of what it tried to do. Good work!

I have ATT uVerse...in Dallas. It rocks, internet and TV is 10x better than anything else out there. It is fiber to the node...it will come into the house via the telephone cord.

I assume you count a certain size and above commercials? 100+ lots, something like that? Then add up the buys/sells to plot the graph. Unless T&S stamps who is a commercial or not ;-)

Since I run a very small amount right now and only 2 clients, I do not need to be registered. Per SEC, under $25M and I think 15 clients, you don't have to register with them. But, state laws you may have to. I eventually will register at some point (I used to have those licenses in the past...

Yes, my CPA helped lay that out. Whether these is another way, not sure.

Again, I am just assuming, but u say you use the 15min chart, and are looking for some sort of volume "interval" or absolute volume #. Maybe it is above avg volume bar? Does open vs. close on the 15 min bar determine the bias?

So, are you using 15 minute bars? Or volume bars? I assume you are looking for above average volume in a certain time frame or price range as turning points??

The cash value of the ES is $50,000 @ 1000 for 1 lot. Swing trading is different than day trading. The ATR(100) of the ES is about 25 points these days. Again, depends on his/her time frame. You want to swing a daily chart with a 5 point stop will be suicide. Intra-day is a different...

Swing trade what time frame? Daily? Average holding period? I swing trade daily charts, but stops are 15-20 pts (due to volatility). It's all about edge and money management. Risk no more than 2% per trade.

Hrmm...I doubt it, but then I don't. The US gov we have now will do anything that we never thought would happen. There are all these conspiracy theories about the major/commercial shorts in gold/silver.....in fact, they are net short more than all the gold/silver in the world (COMEX). Just...

You can charge performance fee's for non-accredited clients. Per SEC and state laws, as long as you manage under $25M and 15 or less clients (state laws vary), you do not have to be even registered. I run a small LP with IB, for a few clients. The LP route will give you the protection you...

Would u share the basic principle/strategy of your option writing and hedging with futures? Is it some sort of iron condor, directional, etc? Thanks!

Curious about what option strategy(s) you implement? And, what time frame are you doing your futures trading (intra-day, swing, etc)?

That is the internal book for IB (customer limit orders)

ehorn, where did u get those clock timers?

Is the video still on youtube? link?

Any of you deal with these guys? We have a small account with one, and these guys are almost total scum! Charge 5-12% commish plus bid/ask spread. Then charge 8%+ margin (if you want to do margin). And the way they can talk to you...like a scene out of boiler room! Pretty amuzed by it...
