Unless I misunderstood your question: 1) Open an account with a Broker that does Futures on Currency. 2) Fund your account (with the minimum required, depends on the broker). 3) Trade. Good luck (I mean it!!!).

These trading software are coded using high-level programming language. They don't use low-level specific hardware call. Any chips will be fine. I don't think you'll make more money or less money using AMD vs Intel vs Mac.;)

Agreed. But it's not about how much he can recoup. It's all about the process. I wish him NFLX to go back where it was before the earnings announcement. As long as he can learn something from this experience.

You can get lucky for a short period of time, but not in the long run. If you are beginning, expect to lose the first few years. Don't try to make money. Just try not to lose any. Focus on the process, not on how much you can make. If you are able do that, it will be a success. Enjoy!

Anyway, I don't think the OP will close his position and take his loss. He might get away this time, but one day, a small loss will become a bigger one. Admitting an error is tough. Even tougher when trading and money is involved.

If he doesn't and NFLX goes down to $300....

@learningoptiontrading, if you had a plan at first place, you wouldn't ask yourself what to do now. The truth is, you fuc...ed up. That's it. It may be your first time, but it won't be your last (if you keep going!). You need to admit to that you were wrong and take your loss and move on...

This is because many 'traders' go directly from backtesting to real-money trading. They skip the walk-forward testing and real-time paper trading. Like previously said, there are so many ways to backtest the wrong way.

I had an opened position during the outage. It didn't impact me. I closed the position at profit after the outage. It was business as usual for me. Btw, all my trading is fully automated.

Personally, I'm using LogMeIn. It's not cheap but it's working like a charm.

The S&P went down by 15% in 1 week, and that was during my vacation.

0$ commission, 0 slippage,.......:rolleyes: Add $4 round-trip per contract and 0.5 tick per trade (so 1 tick per position), and that would start getting a bit closer to real life trading. If you are still profitable after that, then start paper trading, real-time, with a good platform (not one...

Whether the OP win or lose, moral of the story: don't trade what you don't understand.

Like August 2011!!!

@raf_bnc, you are right, my maths were wrong.

'Grey Sheet' is a subset of the 'Pink Sheet' (OTC). It's the place to trade if you're looking for trouble (not counting IPO's).

By 'virtual' I meant that there is no physical asset associated with each contract. Option contracts are not 'changing hand' like you said. Contracts are either opened of closed. Each side of a trade is considered individually when they are calculating the open interest (ex: BTO + STO = 2 OI)...

Market maker are usually flat at the end of the day. And yes, they can sell to close a position that he's not holding (because it's a virtual contract, so-to-speak). Let me use your example. You BTO and the other side STC: variation = 0, because 1 contract was opened and 1 contract was closed...
