Quote tracker is a very very visual charting (live data from broker) and trading/execution software. I have trading excusively thro this (thro OXPS,IB and TDAm) I have so many paint bar set ups with funny ,sad,weird sounds for all kind of situations. steam engine,toilet flushing,dog barking...

For quite some time there are so many fake prints in volume also in after hours. So Range charts and Constant Volume charts becomes wacky and freezes the QT some times.(due to over load) So the only solution I do is to clear the data up to the culprit period (last 5/first five etc) or delete...

Europe is a mess. But they could have taken the easy route like Ben Bernake. But their marriage contract prevents them openly printing and bank rolling Govt defecit funding and saving Banking cartel (all collateral given by US banks to borrow from FED is worth 10 cents.But they got 90% worth...

It takes lot of conviction to finally say it in forum (which you knew but a bit hesistant to hear it)so that you can make up your mind. Iam almost close to your situation trading (not spreads) front month (or one next)options. we believe energy is a sure bet. One coal company gives a...

As far as Gold and Silver- The pupper masters (paper pushers)can take the price where they want. Physical delivery is the only Democles sword hanging on them.but they are tacking with all kind of scams possible. Only un leveraged funds,sovereigns with deep who can take delivery(not for...

You are right.TD Int'l customers are not allowed any other exchange than US. Even futures trading is not allowed for all foreign clients. They have to get out of Penson and have their own FCM so that they can be integrated like IB. From a foreign customer perspective they are better /stable...

But in all fairness to TD Ameritrade -I have to add a few lines. Iam a TD Am International customer for quite some time. I day trade US stocks and mostly Energy,GDX options sitting from middle of no where in Asia and trade from my notebook with a wireless USB internet. I trade mostly thro...

I think you have the answer in front of you. Imagine giving detailed instruction to a third party order placement person. That means you have to have a trade plan. If it is a limit order with a profit/stop loss / trailing stop based on Pivot,S1,S2 etc you can give a limit order your self and...

I have tried with mixed success on the following GDX XLE FCX SPY IWM

TBT (24.15 close) Aug 24 calls are 0.43/0.47 Sep 24 calls are 1.55/1.58 You meant a great trade in buying Aug 24 or buy sep 24 and sell Aug 24. ( If TBT rallies even with a cusion of 30 cents ,sometimes we will have a loss as Sep 24 will not rally as much as Aug 24) Buy write is ok. If...

As long there is a backwardation in Vix futures, XIV looses daily money by rolling over.(VXX daily makes money) Thus situation normally happens once in a blue moon but if it lasts for 1-2 weeks with daily 30-40% increase in VIX, XIV can become Zero! From 16+ (27th July), it has fallen below...

Haji was right. I trade TNA and TZA quite often.hedging with options wont work. They replicate 3 X performance by buying swaps every day. Due to high VIX ,TNA does not go up 3 times IWM when the market is in down trend and high Vix.( high cost of options daily is eroding value) If market...

Atticus In Amzn , on Friday option expiry- If you do not close the (+190-200+210)put b'fly ,you will be short the underlying right? How does VIX futures options work on SOQ? credit/debit profit or loss or long/short the underlying futures? I can not trade futures. Any idea how to game...

Thought Usual VIX implosion will fizzle in a couple of days and bought puts on VXX. (ETN). Cut loss and got out. Due to backwardation in VIX futures VXX is stobbornly positive though cash vix is down. XIV (ETN) has collapsed from 16 to 9 since 1st Aug. May be this time it might take more than...
