how much volume do you have to trade before they will take off the ticket charge? right now i use IB for execution, but I don't want to pay the monthly subscription fees for the market feeds so i keep a few bucks with TDA and use their TOS platform for real time data and analytics. but if...

PJM WH balday is probably 99% ICE traded. The only thing that trades OTC is the options.

West Oaks just got blown up on a bidding error recently. I'm hearing it was put in backwards and cost them $7mm+. As far as charting power swaps, I'd be interested in what you're actually looking for seeing as though they are completely different than if you were charting equities for...

What exactly are you trying to chart on ICE?

Don, Do prop firms support option-writers?

thanks for the quick respone. I understand all of these things that you have mentioned already. What I am wondering, and maybe I didn't phrase it the right way, is how would you explain the tax benefits of someone investing in a SMA rather than a Mutual Fund if the capital gains tax rate...

free monies! you're too kind atticus. even though the majority of your acronyms are over-my-head, most of the time, i still find you to be the most helpful on ET (ET=elitetrader). your patience with the newbies is much appreciated.

I've seen a lot of people talk about the IB Friend's & Family account and have tried to find some information out independantly, but was hoping I could get some quick answers on here for some gray areas. 1. It's my understanding that each sub-account will be responsible for their own taxes...

did you ever find anything out? i have a friend in TX who uses the IB F&F account to manage $10mm in SMA's and he is not registered. he's been doing it for 6 years and hasn't had any problems.

cool. was hoping just to get a couple hints of advice rather than pay the $200/hr, but i'll do some research on my own first.

so you think that a single member LLC wouldbe better off registering as a corporation than a sole prop.?

screw buying a gun if you've got the money then just hire about 4-6 unemployed bad asses to be your full-time bodyguards. there will be tons of Vets without a job and great training for this type of stuff. labor will be cheaper than ammo!

If anyone has one that they are through with then I'd like to buy it from you, as well.

indeed. quite the whipsaw

that's what we are hoping for. the margin requirements for some of these products are pretty high though because they are highly volatile.

just spoke with my ICE representative and he said the same strict restrictions will not apply. this is good news for people like myself who would like to trade these products, but do not have the liquid net worth to qualify for access. he's not sure if it will be something that someone with...

i don't believe so. but i'm not a CTA so i could be 100% wrong. i'd imagine if it was in your disclosure document like that then yes, you could. but i don't know what the standard is. hope someone can answer cause i am interested as well.

yes, if you take in $100k in management fees for the year and make $100k in profits trading then you returned 0% for the year to the investor and you do not get to share in performance fees.
