Of the versions I might be interested in purchasing - Personal Edition is available in standard and professional flavors at $100/mo and $300/mo respectively. I haven't done much research or feature comparison yet, but it looks like this company's forte is market makers and institutional...

I came across this a few days ago and signed up for the free 'essentials' version. The company also offers trials to their several paid versions. So far, I'm impressed. It has a clean layout, it's intuitive and it includes the CME serials, weeklies and short-dates that are sometimes hard to...

From about 22% to 60% in two days. Splat!

Thanks for the response. You make a good point about the risk management benefits of the policy not just for IB, but for large traders, too. I did fine with the trade, but it's gone from about a 20 cent inverse to a 35 cent inverse since the date of the OP. Would have been nice to catch some...

Have any of you had success in getting a meaningful, i.e. accurate, historical volatility from IB when you have a few futures contracts displayed in the upper box of Option Trader or perhaps many futures contracts in a Watch List? In my experience, IB or some gremlins residing in TWS grab a...

I don't trade many spreads but I've had some ZCK/ZCN bull spreads that I've wanted to hold onto. I recently learned that Interactive Brokers makes you close out the soon-to-expire contract TWO business days before first position day, which is 4/29, so I had to be out of the contracts by 1:15 CT...

I wonder how many times the phrase "stack phyzz, bitchez" appears on ZeroHedge today?

In addition to what Atticus said, you have access to much of the same information that a market maker does. Not everything, of course, and not in real time (unless you want to pay for it), but there is sufficient price, volume, time & sales, open interest and volatility data to prevent the...

Re JCP, I don't know if they have large insider-type holders like SHLD or BBY, but if they do, you might be surprised at how long it takes a sick company to die.

I think we should demand higher quality liars at EliteTrader. The guy can't even keep his story straight for one measly week. On March 28th he was learning options from paper trading and on April 5th he's up $70,000 and making a living from his trading prowess.

Recent action in CL doesn't surprise me but NG (today) does. The cold wxr story is getting long in the tooth, but I guess utterances from Goldman Sachs are like the old E.F. Hutton commercial.

Marketsurfer - Google "Greg Duran Sante Fe, NM" before you donate. Maybe it's a common name; if not, the guy is a practiced scammer - FX trading, hedge fund database marketing, etc.

Saw an ad on some website this a.m. - a start up focusing on futures options. Of note: http://welcome.optionshop.com/ *$2.50 USD (all-in) commissions per side through June 30. That's very competitive, but I don't know how much they will charge after the "beta" period, as they call it, is...

Another article says he's been living in - guess where - South Florida since August 2012.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carley_Garner Some of these business publishing companies do not have the highest standards for their authors. I have no idea if Ms. Garner is a good writer, but it seems odd that she's published four books after only eight years as an introducing broker (one of...

The homeless and miscreants don't need to pretend to work in an office while surfing for porn, they can do that at the public libraries (or at the SEC and Dept of Energy). On a serious note, in addition to paying commissions, does anyone have an idea how much a trader has to pay Advantage for...

A few things to keep in mind: - The areas mentioned in the first half of the article are not major corn and soybean growing regions. They're growing more than they used to, but they're not major league. - The Red River of the North flows into the land of Maple Syrup and doesn't have much...

JustTrading - You're getting that kind of performance improvement (speed & quality) for $21/mo?

Re drugs, these reports have a lot of information about production and consumption, including per capita use. http://www.unodc.org/unodc/data-and-analysis/WDR.html

I used to participate in a South America travel forum, mostly Andean countries. There were some losers on the site that would brag about "retiring" in their fifties, moving to Latin America and then chasing barrio girls and sometimes putas for the rest of their days. Turns out that most of...
