Thanks tiddlywinks....that was helpful.

IB has friends and family but AFAIK, CFTC regulations say that I can't have more than 15 accounts and total AUM must be less than 400k. PLUS some state regulations (like california) say that I must be an IRA in order to charge any fees from these accounts. Which legal jurisdiction are you...

Ammo - I would also like to get a backer. Would you be open to share some of the insights about how to go about this. I am currently trading around 5 ES contracts. I would like someone to back me so that I can trade at least 50 ES contracts. I trade one contract per 8000 USD, so that will mean...

Great Advice---thanks ammo like always :)

flat out 1825. PL = 10*6*50 = 3,000 USD Account Equity = 54,275 + 3,000 = 57,275 USD

short 10 ES 1831

I second that to a large degree

flat out at 1826. PL = 4*(1839-1826)*50 = 200*13 = 2,600 USD PL = 6*(1831-1826)*50 = 300*5 = 1,500 USD Total PL = 4,100 USD Account Equity = 50,175 + 4,100 = 54,275 USD

I don't agree with your observation. Otherwise, feel free to explain how you manipulate your results on collective 2?

+1 Although I have used multicharts for developing my strategies on single markets. Such programs are sufficient if you want to develop medium frequency kind of stuff over 1-2-3-10 markets. However, if you are looking to scan 100s or 1000s of stocks, only amibroker among retail software...

Short 4 ES more at 1839. Already short 6 ES from 1831.

It is not my trade, it is ammo's trade. he has been adding to a short. So, I just wanted to know how many more contracts he is going to add. So, if his max position size is say 10 contracts, and he has already sold 7, it means he can only sell 3 more. That is what I was asking him. And I...

ok Atticus....its holiday season and I think we should all relax a bit and enjoy this time. I wish you both Happy Holidays and a Happy and profitable New Year. With that, I am out of here.

lol....not even a one-lotter...as I said I don't trade stocks/options I am here to learn something. Definitely not here to fight. The insults are getting ridiculous. Its beyond me why you getting angry on me, I am not fighting with you or anyone else?!?

arbs-r-us, one poster says you did not execute these trades and is asking you to post trade confirms, another poster says you work for clearing firm....whatever....I really do not care. Whether you made 1.4 million dollars from this trade or not, whether you work for a clearing firm and...

add 37.5 avg 22.70 [/B] at how much % size are you at currently compared to your max size? So, are you at 70% of your max size now or 90%? Didn't expect such a slow without any pullback rampup. Imo, we will see a 5 point correction at least at this stage, so at least to 1831-32...

If it was a fly, it sounds very plausible. but if it was just an outright, from a bank's perspective - could be related to hedging gamma (barrier maybe?!!) to hedge out risk from some OTC structured product. Nevertheless, a case for a super-interesting holiday trade.
