Understand everything you say, except the 15/100 and 200k/1,333k . I assume 15/100 chance (15%), but haven't the clue about the 200k/1,333k.

Thats funny that LCH is going to clear nymex clearport stuff. Ice cut ties with them last year, and are bringing clearing over here starting this summer. IMO, Ice will crush nymex in OTC, as they will have the flexibility to create new products without the constraint of another entity. (I.e...

Always works like that with them on the splitting it into 5 orders, you are only charged one comission. I think if you modify the order after one is filled, then you are charged another though.

I was listening the other day (give me a break, the drive home is long and I've got XM), and I believe he said he had given away $400k through the trust. $400k isn't anything to sneeze at but sheesh, thats much smaller than I imagined. Kind of hard to give away profits when there are none I guess..

What are you guys using to open this stuff up with?

Weatherbill.com is a basic site, and i'm sure you can set up a custom contract to mimic exchange contracts/swaps. Not sure about spreads, ect. Weatherbill reminds me of dealing in retail forex vs. exchange traded forex futures. If you are looking to go OTC I might have a couple of...

Man, I remember sweating when I was working like crazy to get it done by October 15th. Not a fun experience.

For those who aren't familiar with Ben's service : http://www.tradethemarkets.com/public/1846.cfm Video of Carter using Ben's calls. Below you will find the email info about the moving promotion. CBOT MOVING SPECIALS Equity Index Futures will be moving to our new location...

FWIW, TOS has LEH listed as easy to borrow. Same for BSC . Not sure if that would be the case if you actually tried to short it, but thought I'd mention it.

Wouldn't he need a put for every contract long and a call for every contract short (the opposite of what you said). The bid/ask spreads would kill you and the commissions wouldn't work well either. This is also ignoring the fact that the strategy you mentioned is a synthetic long call or...

Having trouble understanding why the 06-1 AAA index is at 89, while the AAA 07-1 index is at 57. My logic is that '06 loans have a similar probability of default as '07 loans do. Can someone explain what I'm missing?

I've used efutures.com for my brief stint into futures options. Full service account here, but they do offer self directed of course. Have to say, I'm happy, but I haven't done but a couple of executions.

Equities are american exercise (you can exercise early). Most cash settled indicies (SPX, XEO, DJX, RUT, VIX et. al) are european exercise (no early exercise). One notable exception is OEX (S&P 100), which is american exercise. OEX options have a slight premium over XEO options becuase of...

Any chance you could point out where I can find a list of commodities that are supported by stockcharts.com? They claim they don't offer commodities charting.. Even if its just a continuous chart, no biggie, just want to know the syntax I should be using.

Google finance has the "trackball" feature you refer to. Perhaps that would work just as well?

I think some of the margins are dated : http://futures.tradingcharts.com/specs/summary.html

Pretty sure think or swim will do this and its pretty painless. This is assuming I understand fully what you are asking.

http://groups.google.com/group/misc.taxes.moderated/browse_thread/thread/60b034dd4017b20e/f4822861f0b5eeb3 Is this you too? LOL just stumbled upon that link earlier today when looking up some info. Small world if so..

Sadly I don't have a tick chart for it. I trade OTC power and just happend to glance at crude on webice. With webice you can see the entire depth of the book, no matter how many orders. I remember the offers had really really thinned out because they had been lifted so quickly. I'm...

How about starting by putting Ice under the CFTC and putting position limits on CASH SETTLED WTI.
