Target demo for newsletters and such is Joe blow. Joe blow probably doesn't have a futures account, and doesn't understand the concept of futures.

You can come up with the margins with Ice for free. I realize you probably traded it on Nymex, but its a start. PC SPAN from CME is $500, and it looks like it is from the late 90's

I did the demo on the new platform, and was impressed. Decent improvement over the previous platform.

Not 100% sure but I think you'll find something of use here : http://keepass.info/plugins.html

You know in Office Space when Tom mentions his idea for a jump to conclusion mat? This is that idea.... In equities, a share is a share is a share. They are all the same (assuming same class shares). Houses are totally different.

What the hell is ENG?

Very interesting, appreciate you pointing it out..

In the PJM RTO, coal as of the beginning of this year made up 66,583 MW of generation. Load today (6/9) peaked at 98kish . Nukes make up 31,000 MW of generation. If you assume that there are no plant outages (which is never going to happen), and you add nukes & coal, you get to 96k of...

No, its they show the account value that way. Regardless of whether or not you can the option has loan value, you can still mark it at something. Make it the worst case scenario (they could be conservative and mark it at the bid if you're long, offer if you're short)...in short, get a new broker...

I hate the concept of SPAN... You have to pay $500 for the software to find out what your margin requirements are... It doesn't recognize certain strategies either (at least with Ice cleared OTC) ... The options in question were cash settled european options (read : no exercise risk/pin risk)...

Problem with all these currency options that trade on the standard US options exchanges is that they are all exchange independent (i.e. PHLX, or ISE), so you don't have all 7 exchanges competing on a single product. Just my opinion though..

You betcha... http://www.riskdoctor.com/books.htm riskdoctor.com is his official site... Honestly, the design of the site looks like any other snake oil site, but the stuff in the book is gold.

Ice does FX, but trading is little if any (on the underlying). Not sure if they have options, but if they do, nothing trades.

Read Cottle's book, it goes into this quite a bit... The price that is being implied from the market legs (i.e. banker wants to sell the call, so he has a floating offer for the call that is derived from the put & underlying price) includes the interest rate factor. Unplanned circumstances can...

You talking about on Webice? I got one for cotton @ 14:33:22 , cotton closes at 14:30 Cocoa one came across at 12:15:36, cocoa closes @ 2 PM... Dunno Wish I could filter these out for certain markets.... I don't really care about the softs, but I check the quotes every now and again...

Execution is OK because everything they do is traded electronically. Commissions are high ($3.50 per side) , although you might be able to negotiate slightly lower.

Its not something on the iphone application, everything is done on the desktop application. It sends an SMS to your phone.

If you want to turn the desktop on remotely, you can get a network card that supports "wake-on-lan" (WOL) . I have tomato firmware on my linksys router at home. If I want to login to my desktop and its off, I just logon to my router interface, and select my desktop and a few minutes later...
