Hoodo, You may be excused. Calling someone names serves no purpose here. Several people have asked the question about what grounds a brokerage house would have to keep you from trading a particular listed security. You’ve simply not answered the question. Going on the attack and calling...

There is no homework to be done. If you have the capital or margin to cover the trades they can not exclude you from access to a product you've been trading. Why would they? They still collect the interest on your cash and comissions, thats what brokers do.

How could they ban you legally and why in the world would they care what listed product you trade? by the way the qqqq (qqq) is not a stock

NO I was laughing at you NYT

Did you jump on that long train for the 3:30 bail out? Yea these things never close on the LOD.

There are so few independent market makers left on the equity options floors and there are not any people looking to go down their and try. When you’re an mm you don’t pick and choose what you want to trade and when, you have to provide liquidity in all of the series in the books...

I guess no one is going to answer my question huh?

Yea in fantasy land.

When you're trading something like a deep nasdaq stock which has dozens sometimes over 100 market makers in it how is it do you think they can get all those firms to back up the market and screw you and your retail lot when all those market makers are in different places fielding different order...

Think of it more as playing poker everyday vs. a seasoned professional who not only can see his hand but can see the top cards on the deck and even some of the cards behind them. Plus that player also had relationships with the dealer who brings cards to the table. The hybrid system ends a...

the spread in rates has narrowed big time. the term "normal" is pointless since what was normal for a couple years was not normal before that and so on. not that anyone here is doing carry trades to use capital

Yea none of the inflation data or homes data coming out this week could be bad. Dont forget about that retail data coming out too! Its just so easy to make gobs of money when the month end is here the market can possibly go down

First off, if someone’s really trading 5000 contracts a day I have two things to say. First they would not be asking strangers on ET what a good price is, and second that kind of volume would not go unnoticed by other brokers and they’d be getting offers from people to fill their paper...

Day, the laughs you brought us in that 65 page rant about the SPX pit was much more entertaining.

If you're doing 5000 contracts a day you can negotiate your prices for fills from a lot of different brokerages. We pay many different prices with a handful of people. On average its about 25 cents a contract with 12.5 cents a contract on spreads. We also have deals which are more but those are...
