I'm not buying this rate cut, but the pain I'm taking on my short ZQ isn't exactly thrilling. Best of luck.

I would. Made me lose my money twice as quick and figure out that oil sure as hell wasn't the vehicle for me.

If you want to trade QM why not just trade the real deal (CL). Much higher volume, and only .01 spreads instead of .025 . Rolling over before settlement shouldn't be an issue.

Wouldn't exactly call it unusual. It was suggested by the same guy that wrote the article that most of the trading a couple of weeks ago were retail size trades in the Oct 170's, suggesting a short term top. Not saying the info isn't good, but do your own dd.

LOLOL @ Surdo.. I'm like.. WTF, ignore list? Very nice Surdo..

Sold Oct 100 puts and bought Nov 95s puts here.

Last week I think the 1470 puts were something like $2.

SPX and a few other index products settle at the "SOQ" (special opening quotation. ) This is all 500 prices of the S&P 500 stocks, not just the first print of the index.

This one was an easy play for me. Stock was way overbought. It went from $126.82 to $144.16 in a week! Thats 13.6%! This isn't China and they didn't announce earnings. Running up into the announcement was the perfect setup. I was thinking about shorting into the announcement, but when I came...

Maybe go ahead and put on an NQ contract if you have enough shares of QID to justify it, or just wait a few hours. Hope it works out for you.

Range of products is kind of small, but they are certainly expanding. Can be fun to trade, but the spreads are pretty wide at times. Watch the daily crude contracts tomorrow. Pretty interesting to watch some of them go from $5 to $100 in a day. Also interesting is when you are close to...

No, not legal, thats why you cannot fund from US via credit card and ACH is not functional. Difference between them and Hedgestreet is that Hedgestreet is in the US, and regulated by the CFTC. Whether or not you find them liquid depends on how much volume you are trading.

TOS doesn't have something that supports the blackjack, has to have a touch screen. The TOS mobile tells me my session times out every single time I log in.

Ex-nay on the optionmonster nay. I'd skip that puppy. Flat out waste of time and money. If I told you every good call I made and never elaborated on the bad ones, I'd have people lining up too. PS. Don't forget the standard pony-tail too. Its a necessity if you want to trade options profitably.

Agreed. Also been trading with HS almost a year. Trade crude contracts on my lunch hour. Spreads suck but I deal with them.
