    best way to trade long options on SPX with high VIX?

    how about a simple credit call backspread? If you think vol is high, you shouldnt fall too fast in the sea of death. Maybe octobers aiming to be outta there mid september at the latest?

    TradeMonster

    Honestly I didn't see much difference... Of course I don't day trade so I don't look at every tick. Maybe there were a few 2-3 second freezes everyday

    TradeMonster

    He was joking god... There is no trade stegosaurus. But the name of the broker has 0 impact for me and you would be a fool to choose based on that. Like I said prior I like trademonster but they are not perfect and execution has suffered, knowing this, if what you trade is liquid you can get by...

    TradeMonster

    I use trademonster, I have been with them for a few months now. I really like their platform although it is not perfect. I never used tos because their commissions seem execive to me so I can't really compare. What I can tell you is that it seems to me that their execution is relatively poor...

    The Cheapest Option Broker

    For myself I've been using Trademonster for about 2 months. Commissions are 0.50$/contract so thats a big plus (with a minimum of 12.95$ I believe) I like their platform also, I used to do alot of business with optionsxpress but honestly I prefer trademonster. They aren't too hot on the graphics...

    ARB Group

    The info session was actually at their office, overall the place looks nice and all but 2000$ for a sit... I don't know what would happen if you left after 24 months still owing some of the desk fees. I do know that you are expected to take it from your profit (and carry the debt forward if...

    What does this hedge fund do that is so special?

    I like the Moderately aggressive mandate however here are my 2 cents: I like the annualized return but the st.dev not so much... For an abs return strat, a -21% worst rolling 1 year is a big no-no in my book... but the worst 5 year rolling at 16% is impressive. I don't recall seeing...

    ARB Group

    They don't do algos essentially. They offer 2 different trading platforms but I don't know either of them, they are not the ones I am used to hearing about. All I remember is that one comes with esignal.

    ARB Group

    Today I went to an information session with this firm in Montreal. They are a firm that trade futures on different markets in Canada and the US. No overnights. So here are what I have learned: Plus side: 1) The guys seemed very straight forward in the warnings. They told us we should not...

    Growing AUM with "first loss" funds

    From my understanding you have a few investors already so just out of curiosity Heech, what kind of legal setup do you currently have? Regulators tend to be a pain in the a$$ so I wonder how you got them off your back

    Growing AUM with "first loss" funds

    Interesting dilemma... If that "investor" does not require that he be exclusive, you should maybe consider it. (If normal clients are allowed to jump in at any time). It could give you traction to begin... On the other hand it is essentially leveraging yourself so losses can mount up...

    Interesting article about trading parasites - aka HFTs

    Mostly focused on the Canadian market but also applied to the US... It is actually pretty simple, any of you know of similar programs? http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/putting-the-hammer-to-high-frequency-traders/article1871294/

    IB, OH, eOptions Broker Questions

    I am basically going over the same search process so here is my 2 cents... I have excluded IB for a simple reason: their trading platform is stand-alone so you have to install it every freakinwhere (I use many different computers in different locations). They do have a web-based platform but...

    Of the complexity of trading

    I apologize in advance but I need to rant a little... In the mafia, there are certain things that a made man is supposed to do and a certain way he is expected to do it. Of course, the central point of his "work" is to bring in some money for the mob. One thing that you may not know is that...
