You would commingle your funds with a stranger, in their entity, to get better rates?

What are you willing to pay to be faster(Rhetorical question)? If you co-locate at NY4 and cross connect to our OMS/FIX connection, that would be faster then a desktop API. The cost of co-locating is very high. Just the cross connect is $500/month.

Robert Modd, I take a different tack on paper trading. Paper trading is great for those not familiar with options and those that want to forward test their system first. Back testing is nice, but since we all know what happened before, we can design a system that worked for the markets we had...

There of course many ways to make money on option trading, but I find there are two general categories for "customers." Those that do the same thing every day, week or month and those that react to an expectation of market movement. An example of the first one is a typical index option naked...

Good luck.....

May I ask what you want to use it for? Seems like a lot of work without an expectation of profit from it. How can you monetize what you are trying to calculate.

There is no cost to me to assume this is an honest post and look to learn more about him. If someone had a long bias in the right sectors and was using no leverage and used most of their account cash toward equities, it would not have been hard to have this return in 2013 and 2014. However, with...

How would you go about doing that?

I have some questions too: -How much capital in the account when you started? -How much leverage do you use? -Worse month? -Worse day? -Are you long, long/short or short most of the time? What else would you like to share?
