for the love of God do NOT trade UNG - it is the worst investment product known to man. goog "ung problems" and see what comes up. this issue has been discussed in depth.

w/ trendlines it takes some (ok maybe a lot) of work to get what's in your head (e.g. i know a trendline when i see it) into writeable code. below are some hints which should work for any program: you mentioned period of 10 hours - this is easy just use hourly charts and specify length as 10...

when you're dealing with a low absolute cost of options it's dangerous to say "ignoring commissions" b/c those will def add up. unfortunately optionshouse got ride of their 9.99 for unlimited contracts a while ago b/c everyone took advantage of it.

not to nit pick but it's 3.73 which is not a small difference. just focus on the price not the economy b/c you don't trade the economy.

you used to be able to get it waived just by asking but that was before the TDA acquisition - the only way to find out now is to ask.

the highest volume contracts are oil, nat gas, heating oil and gas below are their tickers CL, NG, HO, RB these are all traded electronically on cme (well nymex which cme bought a few years ago)

they are the highest vol options in the world - IIRC in order to trade them you must convert your currency into KRW

the es is the s&p - by definition they are related b/c they are each other - the es is just the futures contract of the s&p index - the values have to equal (accounting for net cost of carry) otherwise arb would eliminate the diff immediately

don't know what the policy at tda (former tos) is now but i don't think they're as willing to negotiate individual rates as tos was - correct me if i'm wrong anyone who's tried this recently

i know there is money management - i was only giving him the entry/exit signals

be careful selling puts unless you're hedged (e.g. buy otm puts while sell atm puts)

+1. i've graduated from there - it's the most expensive but also gives you the best education. my advice - don't spend a penny at a traditional school (either bricks and mortar/online/etc) - just spend all your time reading and testing strategies - there are plenty of quality free resources...

use the 20 dma as a measure of trend - if price goes below that then get out and re-enter if it moves above you have to be careful trading penny stocks like other posters said b/c of the liquidity getting out but also getting in - you can spend all day trying to work an order - you might want...

there is plenty of liquidity in NG unless you're trading $1B+ intraday there are plenty of trends in NG on all timeframes incl intraday and esp on inventory thursdays - there's no need to be a gunslinger and enter ahead of the release b/c the trend usually picks up after the release of the number

you are taking a HUGE risk doing that as you are naked on B - what happens if B is bought out at a 50% premium?

it's can't be that hard buy above 20 day high exit below 10 day low reverse for short buy above 55 day high exit below 20 day low reverse for short

http://www.marketvolume.com/indexes_exchanges/r1000_components.asp you have to register (I haven't) but it's free apparently. after registering, click on the technical analysis link on the right then click on the chart button on the top hope this helps

not to state the obvious but have you considering JPY ADRs and their options like TM, SNE

IIRC by definition there is no dark pool for options b/c unlike stocks you can't cross and trade and bring it back on the exchange.

how is this possible given that IB throttles their data and you only get a snapshot whereas IQfeed is a pure feed? the only explanation i can think of is if you're looking at relatively longer term charts so you wouldn't be able to see the diff anyways.
