i guess my question is are there any special consideration one needs to be aware of for index futures options vs the normal stock options?

can you post your P&L total so far?

My biggest problem with 401k is the limitation of products you can invest in. All i can pick from are a bunch of crappy mutual funds. I wouldnt mind so much if it lets you pick individual stocks, then i would just use it as my long term investment account. But my company matchs dollar for...

Hi, can someone please answer a few questions about this article: http://www.libertytradinggroup.com/market-commentary.html#article 1) Just to confirm the article is talking about writing options on SP500 index FUTURES (Symbol: SP ) correct? 2) Trying to wrap my head around this. A...

well i think most people become engineers not for the money, but because they love innovation and creating leading edge technology to change the world. I am sure every engineer imagined or dreamed about working for NASA etc where they will make a real difference. Unfortunately most ended up...

Almost everything sharper image sells, you can find it elsewhere for much cheaper and better made. Dont even have to look hard enough. Their flagship ionic air filter is one of the most expensive and worst rated air purifers on the market, rated by multiple testing agencies using standard...

That doesnt sound right. After expiration on saturday, you are saying the hf is basically unhedged with a large amount of open positions until monday morning? A lot could happen on sunday/weekend as we saw in the last 2 months. Just doesnt seem to make sense a hf would do that... i must be...

thanks guys! 1) nkhoi, what is $tiki in ninjatrader? Is that just an index for the dow 30 stocks? i tried searching for that keyword but cant find anything. I am using zenfire future feed from mirus trading, does that contain $tiki data 2) have been using the superDOM to look at the price...

It's posted on the internet, therefore it must be facts! It's amazing how many people believe in anything they read on the net without doing any research themselves. If you actually think about it after reading the article, he's basically saying etfc could go bankrupt because their...

what's something to invest in for a normal retail investor if you think cuba may become democratic (ie: more friendly to foreign investment etc..)

I use ninjatrader with zenfire feed. The problem with ninjatrader is you can click "buy bid" "buy ask" "sell bid" etc...but most times i want to place a limit order that's not the bid or ask. Then i have to manually type in the limit number or use that tiny up/down arrow to scroll through it...

Feel free to state why it doesnt work, but lets keep the flames down pls. Setup: 1) System has a 60% win/loss ratio for each trade 2) All trade placed has a stop loss at -3 tick, and limit at +3 tick for exit. In other words, reward=3tick, risk=3tick (yes 3 tick is picked...

Hi couple more questions about YM, being playing with it for a good 6 days now. 1) Do most of you use market or limit order? I am having trouble with inputting the limit order fast enough to keep up. 2) Does YM peg to the dow-30 all the time? Would it be beneficial to have the 30 dow...

well tim is ok in my book. If only for the fact that he said "wall strip? short!" As far as i know, everyone wallstrip ever interviewed responded with wallstrip=long! to make nice with the hot chick interviewing them, but not timmmmmmey! btw tim was on ET? anyone got his handle or link to...

$5 is proving to be a tough resistence to break

You are contradicting yourself. First you said one should not care what others think about oneself. Then you said one should strive to be remembered and loved by others. If you dont really care what others think about you, then why do you care if they remember/love you or not after you are gone?

I think the point of all this is to control your own vanity. I see nothing wrong with buying an expensive car if you truely enjoy driving and can afford it, or buying a big screen tv because you are a videophile. But buying expensive things just to impress others is something to be avoided...

it depends on the isp you choose. DSL is definitely out of the question, cable maybe depends on the provider. I am not sure about beijin, but shanghai is very high tech since alot of the infrastructure are brand new. If you are serious, probably should just lease a dedicated or shared t1...

What are you talking about? First off i was responding to the OP not you. Second you quoting me and the response makes no sense. I was questioning why he wants to join a prop firm right after receiving an mba. Getting an MBA and joining a prop firm are 2 completely different career paths...
