Sorry for just jumping to a conclusion about Getco. From what I've read/found/heard I put them as decent in terms of good company structure / hires for salaray and pays a percentage / etc. In terms of most quantitative firm, I don't really know the answer, but my guess is the big giants like...

hunting around some more and kind of found that a lot of the futurers options market making firms are gonna be the same as those we usually talk about. Here is a link to a CME press release...

you are reinventing the wheel there is tons of material on this also look at wilmott.com search thru the threads you'll find it. were you asked to interview? in pa? good luck if so. from what i hear they're tough on the math but you can get by / they talk a lot about poker too one of their...

Okay, so looking around on the basic contracts as to what the spreads look like & what the volume is on these options on futures. First of all, here is a link if you want to look at quotes from CME for the basic equity e-minis: http://www.cme.com/trading/dta/real/equities.html and here is...

I think you've misinterpreted I don't think the floor is the key component, even if the options on futures are still done a lot on the floor. BTW the firm I'm working for is ready to move upstairs whenever they just like the environment and why not take the extra volume. But back to the idea...

Hey all, I am starting my summer at a CBOE market making firm. They don't do the indexes like OEX/SPX, but all stocks, ETFs. No other trading / tried CBOT didn't go for it, futures only as a hedge like SSFs/VIX. Mostly guys on the floor as of this moment. Was wondering how the market is...

I don't know all of those but I know that's not the case with a few: Breakwater CTC Group One all prop. hires out. Also, I didn't see on this page Cutler Group. http://www.cutlergrouplp.com/ Brite Skye {don't know a web-site}

he is horrible. a total idiot. he will guarantee to take your mind off of good trading and watch useless indicators. i agree w/ the user who said their is a lot of useless stuff on TOS (love the service though, don't get me wrong).

good journal, keep it coming do you have any volatility opinions? with you selling ITMs and buying deeper ITMs, your volatility position is probably mostly flat but slightly short... you could always think about adding in a volatility opinion by playing around the ATM options, selling the...

I run TOS and have not figured out much of how to do automatic orders. I mean there are quite a lot of conditions you can set with the typical order entry window, but are you doing something beyond that? I have messed a lot with the ThinkStrategies programming in the Charts window but my...

Do you mean the bank is using it / proprietary? Or they are letting customers use it? the bank is probably an exchange member, so they can use it, Canada or no. Thanks for those laws Wayne those helped a lot.

here is there web-site, which has barely nothin... http://www.kcco.com/ Have been trying to find out what I can about them...hasn't been much. From what I have found, they're in inactive clearing firm for the CME, and they trade CME/CBOE mostly index work...

LVS not giving it up just yet...I woulda preffered a gap UP open and then selling it OFF, when we got just the opposite... 122 did get sold aggressively though.

Hi guys, I've been following this thread for a week or two now and have done some reading and find the strategy very cool! I'm an options guy myself, but nonetheless have taken note of your trades...good stuff! Has got me into paper trading some Opening Orders on the options side; more...

looking things up myself on this firm... seem pretty legit as far as I can tell...which isn't much more than the web-site. I'm trying to get a foot in the door and find some kind of clerk job / preferably on a floor / preferably the CBOE floor / preferably at / around the OEX pit. haha I...
