    Corn Future ZC

    What type of price do you think would be quoted now, since its limit down, which assuming nothing changes, corn will probably open down on Tue. (not necessarily limit down)

    Corn Future ZC

    Some farm report on Friday. Corn was limit down. Limit down now as well. Futures markets probably just catching up to the cash markets. I have no idea what cash is trading at now, but you might see a couple more days of corn opening limit down.

    How large lots of options get transacted?

    If placing a large order with TOS, then click "send to trade desk" on the order screen. Go ahead, try it with a 1 lot. It will give you a little blurb about how its for institutional and large orders. Or, just call the trade desk. If your doing size, just sweep all the exchanges trading the...

    If you choose cable, it doesn't really matter who the vendor that sold it to you is, more than likely a time warner van will pull up to your house to install it. Think about it, even if you signed up on Earthlink's site, who owns the cable line? Time warner. Its all just rebranded service...

    ETF - priced by underlying or trades ??

    Can't truly answer, but it is worth mentioning that if a price discrepancy did exist, it wouldn't be there for long because of arb opportunities.

    I agree with $1 per contract, although if you went with optionhouse.com it is 9.95 for unlimited contracts.

    Try this : My computer > Tools > Folder options > View tab > Uncheck the "hide extensions for known file types" box. This will let you actually change the extension. If the box is checked, and you rename the file, it will actually be setup.exe.txt . You see setup.exe, but the .txt is...

    Protective Stop on a Credit Spread Order

    Here is a suggestion, although you might be better off calling the order desk yourself and ask because i'm sure this has come up many times before : Use TOS tools to figure out what expected value of the spread would be if SPX was at 1405. Enter a limit order for the estimated costs of the...

    Index Futures time value

    Yes its obvious the futures are hedged with stock, however I imagine if you wanted to put some volume in a contract, you'd be in for a rude suprise. Thats my point.

    Index Futures time value

    I don't trade them, so I can't comment on the size behind the bids/asks, however front month volume in AAPL was only 35 today. I would hardly call that liquid.

    Crude and Gold options on IB

    Keep in mind, probably not going to be as liquid as comex/nymex options on ZG.

    Index Futures time value

    SPX closed at 1437.50 . June futures are trading at 1445 at this moment. You are correct in your assumption. The futures price is SPX + the cost of carry (from now until June). As the date approaches June expiration, the futures price and the cash price (SPX) will get closer and closer, and they...
