I need a Series 3 book but I would like the CD with the practice test generator...anybody got the CD too??? I'll get the shipping and give you guys a decent price. I think the CD is $45 straight from Dearborn. If ya don't have the CD, that's OK...but I really liked the ones with the...

I generally don't get into these frays any more for that very reason

That works...thanks AA. I was adding the D for the year 03. According to QCharts, that is required after the Month, guess not. I see also that the first digit gets dropped for 4 digit strikes. Thanks Again.

Who do you guys use for the (pit only) big S&P contracts? How do you get quotes electronically?

Does anyone know the secret for getting the large contract (250) futures options quotes in QCharts? I have followed the QCharts directions per the help file and researched the symbology on the CME, nothing works. I can get the ES quotes up, but not the large contract. Thanks

I'm in....but I have been logged in since yesterday...no problems all morning. I'm using QCharts basic.

Well said Shoeshine. IB is the reason that little guys with trading skills don't stay small. As someone who traded for $30 a side with quotes from the newspaper just 15 years ago, I couldn't be happier that IB is providing such a cheap and comprehensive service.

IB did all the little guys a favor by opening up their systems to the retailer. They had no obligation to do this and their profits are largely derived through other lines of the business. This business is a two way street. It's not just about them serving every last whim of every single...

I was perusing the Yahoo IB support board and came across this interesting tidbit. It seems that an IB customer experienced an accounting error of 70 cents in her account. She contacted IBHelp and was apparently told that the error had been corrected when she insisted that it still had not...

We have been talking...as always, he has been a great help. Thanks Vega

Thanks guys... The ES options on futures trades thru IB, but apparently not the pit only. Thanks for the info.

I am not able to bring the big contracts up using the IB TWS. I get the contract on screen using SPX, then FUTOPT, then picking (for example) the Aug 1050 Call Globex. I get the contract and it shows the (250) multiplier, but when it comes up in the TWS there are no quotes or past trades. I...

Are you referring to SAC as in Steve Cohen?

Thanks for the reply AA. I have been using index equity opts and was really trying to use opts on futures instead - to effectively lower the margin required by about 5x - 6x while getting roughly the same $$$. Of course, if there's no liquidity, it may not be worth getting into. The few...

Can anyone tell me why the volume on options on the ES is so low vs the similar contract on the index (futures options vs. index options)? The problem could be that my QCharts just isn't showing the data. Given the margin differences and 24 hr trading, it would seem that futures options...

How's that Rolex coming? Nice call right at the top once again...in June and July. Where can I get more of your predictions? Can I subscribe to something?

Many of us posted that he was full of shit without having to endure the work that you have done. While it's certainly interesting that you have taken the time to prove he's full of shit, I believe most of us should have come to that conclusion simply from the nature of his posts. While it's...

I just hope they are forced to disclose the factors they are using to price them, or that it will be possible to see the manipulation from the filings...with a lil work.

Most people are still bullish here, regardless of the poll. How many of you were buying today? The poor amateur investor type is afraid of missing the boat. Check out the sentiment readings...still very bullish and the higher it goes, the more bullish. It's a beautiful thing, quite...
