Hey guys, I've seen many posts in the forum by people who would like to know where they could get FREE HISTORICAL DATA. Well, I just found a place where you can get all of that for free (yes, eminis too), and it can be downloaded directly to Excel. However, I will not attest to the...

It's like selling something obsolete! If you're system is still making money, why not use it with your other system, too? One can never have too many profitable systems. If it's making above market interest rate, borrow money and teach your brother, or whoever, to trade for you. If...

Does anyone know where I can get free historical NQ quote and it's fair value? And what is the fair value symbol for it again? It is IQX on globex? Thanks!

My favorite is bear call/bull put calendar spread. Don't know if it's an official name, but it's a combination of those spreads. Like the game of chess, the goal is to position your pieces to attack your opponent. Likewise, the goal of this spread is not to make money the first month...

100k loss in less than 6 months? Not bad! I lost 50k in less than a month! CAn't be impatient trading options! Always, trade spread! Limited profits, but safe, and that's the way to do it!

I've never seen a premium of 1.25. But I think you're misread my post. It's .75 per share. So, $75 for 100 share lot.

Finally, I just found out the answer to the mystery! The Nasdaq, along with other data vendors, posts NAV in a sort of confusing way. Since, NAVs are calculated at the end of the day and posted tomorrow, it lags behind by a whole day. So, the NAV on 7/13/05 at 38.32 as posted by the...

MR.NBBO "The world wasn't invented yesterday. If you've thought of it.....we've got it covered already." _______________________________________ I really like that statement! However, when it comes to arb. techniques, success is determine by efficiency rather than mere knowledge alone...

Landboy, You are thinking like an average investor (sorry if I am blunt)! There are ways to prevent that from happening you know! And, NAV can be calculated every 15 seconds, or even less if necessary! _______________________________________________ Ok, even if 2% arb. doesn't exist...

I apologize for the inaccurate pricing of NAV on July 11. Apparently, I have mis-recorded the NAV on several days. Too late to check for it now, there's no historical NAV to be found! But I've been keeping track of the discount/premium, and I've seen premiums go up as high as .73 per share...

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't there a pure arbitrage opportunity whenever the QQQQ is trading at a premium or discount to its NAV. People can always create or redeem QQQQ shares at its NAV, and pocket the premium/discount. On July 8 and 11, the premium at closing were .73 and .35 per...

Depending on the stock and the market condition, your spread probably could give you a little profit. But your spread has a little weakness. Your front month butterfly spread is bias on the up side. Consider what would happen when the stock is down alittle, enough for your buttefly spread to...

I read the tutorial at www.cme.com. It's too basic and it doesn't answer many of my questions. So you're telling me, right after I've purchased a future contact it costs me virtually nothing? (not including commission, fees, etc) Then, the amount that I'll make or lose depending on the...

I've been trading the QQQ for a while now, and I am interested in moving to the NQ or ES. Could you answers some of the questions below so that I can get started trading futures with you guys? 1) The NQ follows the Nasdaq index and the ES follows the S&P index, right? 2) Futures have...

thanks! It's clearer now!

Could you guys give me a short list of the most popular non-dividends stocks. And for dividends, do you know in advance when it will be paid? I mean how does this process work? Do they always let you know in advance if they're pying dividends? Thanks for helping me guys! Besides...

I am afraid that in a moment of stupidity, I might make a mistake (probably because of greed) and lose all my money. That's why you take money out so that you can make a come-back when your mind is clear again. A discipline person might make a mistake when not thinking clearly. I thought I...

If you want to make money fast, you can try trading stock options. Either you'll make alot of money, or you'll lose all your money. :) Don't be greedy like me that's all. It's the only thing that kills me! And if you're going to trade, don't hold over night! And lock in your profit!

hardrock375, I made a typo. It was suppose to be an exclamation point, not a question mark. Freehouse, there's a reason behind my questions. And in this case, buying calls and shorting stocks is not equivalent of buying puts. I know you'll argue with me, so allow me to illustrate. QQQ...

Bvam, I don't think with 10K in cash you would be able to short more than 500 Qs at 30. No way they would lend you 60k against 10K in equity. Second thing, buying 20 contracts is being a PIGGY with a 10 K account. Why not buy one contract and short 100 qs to test your theories...
