    for Ninja 7.0 - Zenfire or CQG?

    I don't dislike Amp. I've never had a problem NT7 or CQG. In fact I like NT7/CQG a lot. I just dread having to call Amp. My problem is I believe they are aware of their customer service ills but they choose not to correct them.

    for Ninja 7.0 - Zenfire or CQG?

    I use AMP thru Global Futures. The only problem I have with AMP is their customer services is horrible. Even the reps (All that I spoke too) at Global say they are the worst in the business. It took 3 days to get a wire sent to me. I had to call them 4 times. Even wiring money to them was a...

    Iraqi Dinar

    Hello people. I hoping some of you currency traders can give me some thoughts on the Iraqi Dinar. What kind of upside potential does it have? Downside risk? Time frame? I have a couple of friends that got hyped on the Dinar and now want to buy some and because I trade options and...

    MF contagion

    Just looking for other futures traders thoughts. Is anyone pulling some or all of their funds as a precaution? Getting nervous this could be the tip of the iceberg? Not worried at all?

    ES, Where to trade for low margin?

    I try to get at the very least 1:2 but since I am (was) in a hole I been taking 20 to 45 points to catch up. Some were premature but some turned out to be the right thing to do. To me, 30pts seems to beyond the random noise where as with ES 8 ticks come and go all day long. It seems one...

    ES, Where to trade for low margin?

    I traded sim with 1 contract and had great results but going live was alittle different with the same 1 contract. I just didnt get the same results that I was hoping for. Got stopped out alot. Tried 4 tick SL, then 6, then 16. I did get impatient and chase instead of letting price come to me a...

    ES, Where to trade for low margin?

    I have no idea why they asked for the statements. They only required a copy of my Drivers license and the risk disclosure signature.

    ES, Where to trade for low margin?

    Global futures has 400 margain for ES and 500 for YM intraday. Good service. I use Amp clearing with the free NT7. I dominated the ES paper trading. However it's apples and oranges when it comes to real money. I can definitely vouge for that.

    How to calculate expected move based on Implied Vol?

    This came straight from optionsmonster. What you would do is add together the ask price on the at the money strikes for both calls and puts, effectively pricing out the “straddle”. So if Exxon is at $70, you’d look at the 70 strike for both calls and puts (for the front month aka the...

    Lake Street Trading

    Too much uncertainty with these firms so I opted to trade futures (YM and ES). I was looking for leverage and with futures you cant get any better leverage than that plus I dont have to worry about lock up periods etc.. If I were to join a prop firm I would definitely go with a firm requiring a...

    enter Thursday 3:55pm strangle/straddle with Friday weekly expiration (1 day trade)

    I did not but Bidu would have been a nice trade with a 16 point decline.
