I do not want to discourage you. However, based on my 6 years experience one needs at least 5 years end of day part time experience to feel confident in trading end of day markets. There are very few successful day traders (at least those I know) and I am not the one - tried that.. Above all...

ktm Thanks for the advice: "You need to switch from the CBOE to the CME, from SPX to SP(ES). Same prices, same underlying, but only half the margin. Equity index options are subject to reg-t, futures options are subject to SPAN, thus only one side is charged. IB futures options spreads...

"Which exchange are you sending your spread orders to? Can you choose at optionsexpress? Maybe you should send the spreads to different exchanges to compare the fills." I trade a single instrument only which is SPX index options. They are traded only on CBOE. Well, it looks like I have to...

I've read in a book that if you are looking for a job you should not talk to a person who is also looking. It makes a lot of sense looking at these messages. Fear begins fear. Stop looking at numbers and announcements. The US economy is a lot stronger and will be stronger not because US...

According to the Darwin theory "it is not the strongest who survive it is those adoptable to changes". It is very unfortunate that programmers and other educated and hard working people here in US have to do hardship because of the jobs going away. I am a programmer and witnessed most of the...
