Mostly online casinos up until 2006. Now just mis-priced casino promotions in land-based casinos.

Nice that they got rid of the platform fee. Most months it was waived anyway, but take some time off from trading and then you get hit with an extra $39 if you don't meet the minimums. I mostly use it for the event calendars and the rest is gravy.

Wonder if they'd be interested in a 45 year old professional gambler who's made 7 figures lifetime from pro gambling. Not poker. Willing to start at the bottom.

If you can do that, you don't need a prop firm!

There's the Federal Earned Income Tax Credit. If you have some earned income, but not very much, you get about 2k as a refundable credit. Lots of stuff that will disqualify you from getting it though, like almost any amount of investment income.

You can get Reuters through IBIS or TWS from Interactive Brokers. Not sure how fast it is since I don't have anything to compare it to. Are you looking to beat Yahoo Google, or are you duking it out for milliseconds? Edit- Are you looking for a terminal type service just to read it, or are...

All electronic. It's a contract you consented to when your broker bought/sold it and really only exists as a database record at the OCC. Please see a text on exchange traded derivatives for more info. What you are describing is something like an OTC option traded under an ISDA contract...

Atticus, is there a way to get DDE quotes into Excel on Mac? I'm stumped.

The counterparty to the OP's put is the Option Clearing Corp, not the guy who bought the put.

It depends. Since it's an auction, half of the opening print volume bought and the other half sold. I'd look at your trade volume as a % of the average volume of opening prints for the stock. For something like MSFT it's not going to matter, but for many small cap stocks you're not going to...

I'm assuming all the exotic new order types introduced by the exchanges and ECN's are the exact ones we need to protect ourselves from HFT gaming.

Employees, ex-employees, all of which hold less than 5% and aren't required to report. Mom and Pop tech investors.

Are any of the hidden orders native on the exchanges, or are they all simulated?

Love the app but it would be nice to be able to enter MOO/MOC orders.

If you are at market or a marketable limit order you'll get filled in milliseconds. Going into expiration, there's no guarantee that the option will trade at it's intrinsic value, but if it doesn't then there's an arb opportunity for someone to buy the option and exercise it against a...

Sorry, I have to speak up. Putting your money in SPY, BND or GLD is not "parking cash," it's investing.

Making arguments on the absolute level of the guys pay in NYC is not really fair. Everything costs more there, including public employees. What they should fix is whatever scenario that caused them to allow this guy massive overtime rather than hiring another employee at a lower rate. And of...

I would think you could at least have the posted size at NBBO. With a round lot of AAPL approaching the same notional value as an E-Mini, that's a lot for a individual trader. If you really are swinging big you could get a bank to position you in it OTC.

It would seem if you connected via FIX you could have whatever you wanted. You'd have to spend a lot in commissions monthly to justify the minimums though.

Seems like a weird question coming from someone who has made significant money in the markets. If you're saying that you're already at your capacity limits for your strategies, then I'd either place money with other traders or just put it in a diversified portfolio of asset classes.
