I'm in a roth 401k at the small shop I trade for. We can do stocks/options , and I believe futures as well, but don't quote me on the futures.

Pretty sure Penson (TOS clearing firm) lets you export trades to excel. Look in the "Clearing firm resources" on the menu when you log into the manage your account section of their site.

Most of the majors : CME, CBOT, NYMEX . Pretty sure NYBOT is the only one that has had open outcry but moved solely to the screen. Only NYBOT options are open outcry, not the futures.

The exchange wide open interest for USFE is 46 contracts. They can buy the rights to anything they want, but anything they offer is going to be DOA.

WAMUQ up and running as of this morning. I'm guessing WB should be trading in a day or so.

Most all equity options are American. Most all indicies are European (i.e. , VIX, SPX, RUT, NDX, DJX, ). OEX (S&P 100) is one of the exceptions to this rule, it is American. XEO is the S&P 100 European exercise. So essentially, there are two S&P 100 indicies.

The Difference Between NYSE and Nasdaq: Who Is Master, Man or Machine? By: Ray Pellecchia File Under: NYSE, NYSE Arca Here's a story that has not been reported to date: Last Friday's unprecedented trading activity revealed more about the difference among markets than any day since...

Nymex might offer them, I'm not 100% sure they do options out to '15 and '16. Get a pit broker. Focus on Dec contracts because they have the most open interest and most volume further out.

How many times are you going to go around spouting this? Please, I implore you, find another "broken" ETF please. Learn how to find or calculate the intraday value and about dividends before you constantly spout this crap.

Just use pit options. Spreads were .40 when I bought in Jan, for Dec 2010 calls, and sold in April or May. .40 each time basically, yeah its a wide spread ($400) but if its a long term trade and your target is many times larger, its not really a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

Couldn't believe it myself. Penson (TOS) says its HTB. Likewise with the Q's

Its not futures as a whole, they are referring to SSFs.

If you took a second to understand how SET is calculated it would make perfect sense.

Please note that NASDAQ has made no changes to its systems in response to the SEC order banning short sales in certain securities. NASDAQ will not prohibit customers from entering short sales. NASDAQ will advise if any changes are made going forward. Anyone have any info on this...

SET was 1279.... simply amazing... 72 points over the close yesterday...

Earlier this week LEH OTM calls were increasing in value when the stock was dropping from 10 to 7.5... vol was moving 30% intraday.

Sigh. Can't believe I missed that... and not to mention they are just transactions, not RTs like I mentioned as well. Thanks.

Is it just me or does the price slope seem to move too steeply? 20,001 RTs = $800.04 total comm, while 1,999 RTs = $999.50 comm. More is less?

Sorry, meant it was up for me (OTC) . All those messages about futures opens were jacking with my order windows :) . Glad its over...
