Referring to what Mav was saying, I might be better off just looking at DITM calls with my trades. I was wondering this also, if someone can really real level 2 while trading stocks, is it possible to read the level 2 and prints of option trades and make money or would it be kind of a waste...

I didn't think I should start a new thread for these 2 questions so sorry they dont have anything to do with a box spread... Basically I'm still fairly new to trading options, I wanted to get everyone's opinion on my 2 trades and know if there was a better way to actually do them. 1st...

If you are at a true prop firm where you didn't have to contribute capital, and your main sticking point is the limited share size and their daily loss limits, then why are you even looking to put up capital? I mean, if you have sheets of consistently profitable (which they probably are since...

Great point capital where they back you to trade 1 share is what I'm guessing . The firms your are inquiring about don't back you unless you have a track record, so at that point why not aim higher? Ronin Capital for example will back you with a great track record and the ability to show your...

X2 highly doubt it's possible but if so please tell. I've heard the same thing about T3 not responding.

I'm on the bid for $27.59, hit me

Indulge me for a second if you will. If I have to be directional, and I'm a good momentum swing trader, meaning I buy breakouts, then what are the benefits of using options vs just buying the stock? Wouldn't IV be increasing as its breaking out thus I might already be giving up some juice or...

I understand, thanks. I will take a look at those books.

Thanks for the responses. So for the professional traders with options, are they doing the same trade most of the time, the same spread on the same product and making adjustments along the way? From what I could gather my brothers buddy is more of a delta neutral floor trader, so maybe...

Cool thanks man, appreciate the response. I understand about the hand holding, I probably wouldn't do it either, just hoping to learn enough so I can put up a decent chunk and trade my own, but obviously am far away from doing that. Just curious how have people really learned how to trade...

Thx Mav. I guess what I meant was what are places like CTC or professional options players doing to earn, I know it varies widely though. Doesn't seem like they are directional based strategies, but more spreads, thats kind of what I meant with the box arbitrage, but thanks for clarifying it...

I'm an option newbie, read natenberg & McMillan so I grasp a decent chunk of the theoretical option strategies, but also don't pretend like I know very much about the practical side of trading options. Are box spread arbitrage strategies even possible anymore? I realize its 4 legs so...

Lescor top of my list, his old journal is great Currently I think sellindexvol66 is showing nice consistency in the P&L journal

What do you have to offer the intern, as in are you successful trader? Would you be winning to share your sheets to prove that to the intern? Also sounds kind of funny how you said it's possible to go full time, I would hope that if the intern does go full time it will then be paid, or are...

Good article from a questionable website, same site put Gman from Smb as a top trader under 30, still a nice article but I thought FNYS was going broke? Maybe I'm incorrect.

It's laughable compares to level 1 of the CFA exam. I know a bunch of guys that couldn't figure out how to open a CFA book that passed the 56 their first time around. Consensus seems Passperfect is the way to go.

At first I thought, 'wow he's lost weight', then he spun his chair around and I had second thoughts. I still thought he did a good job, I wish he would do a logical trader seminar again.

That was pretty good, interesting he uses 2 OR now.. Does that go with your thinking Mav about not taking A ups in the afternoon? It also appeared he doesn't use time confirmation above the A level, for instance his S&P trade, or maybe I misinterpreted that. Eitherway that was a good presentation.

Ok thank you

Anyone see this? I tried to get in 30mins prior to the start and it booted me out saying it was full. Hopefully it will be posted online somewhere.
