Yes, right, but... 2% is a rule of thumb and may be too high for high-frequency trading. Also, pay attention to how much capital you're tying up (per horribilicus' example).

That's a common mistake.. According to the rule of thumb, your trade RISK should be no more than 2% of your equity (not the trade size, margin used, etc.). To use your example on buying a $100 stock. Risking 2% of a $100K account equates to $2000 RISK. Using lindq's excellent advice of...

For experienced options trader; Interactive Brokers For newer options trader or one who needs to get a live person from time to time: thinkorswim I've used both. Both are leaps (no pun intended) ahead of the Schwab's, Fidelity's, etc. in options platforms. I chose thinkorswim because 1)...

Program trading (index arbitrage specifically) is curbed/collared at 190 down in the NYA (not Dow). See http://www.nyse.com/press/circuit_breakers.html

SMH components are weighted. http://www.holdrs.com/holdrs/main/index.asp?Action=HOLDROutstanding&SubAction=SMH&HoldrName=Semiconductor%A0HOLDRS ETF's in general are pulled around by supply/demand, bid/ask spread, and liquidity issues (just like any stock). But I suspect they're quickly...

It's likely not the broker - it's the clearing firm (unless they're self-clearing).

Thanks for the clarification. When you've been with ET for awhile you'll understand.

If you had stopped there I would have given you the benefit of the doubt, but you went on to endorse the product yet again. Only 3 posts to date and all 3 plug the product. What would you have us think?

Spammers like jbanfai don't tend to read reviews.

You don't need nor want to start with US$50K. That's idiotic. Depending on your brokerage you can start with US$2k, $3.5K, $5K, etc., the smaller amount the better. I would look to go with thinkorswim or interactivebrokers. They're both reasonable on commissions, trading oriented, and you...

If you're starting out - SPY. If you've been at it for a while and throwing around 20+ SPY contracts to a side is boring to you - SPX might be worth a look.

IWM if you're new to options. Perhaps RUT is you've been around. Also, I'll agree the barn door's been open for a few days now and the horses are running all over. You might want to see how this bounce plays out before putting on your position.
