Nice call on the pph deron !

With vix at 7 year lows, you might want to go light on selling strangles.

There are prop shops that have retail arms which have 4:1 intraday reg T. Problem is you can't have one (risk) w/o the other (20:1 leverge)

Here more to muddy your waters. Keltner channels, ma envelopes. Go to linnsoft.com. they have a comprehensive list of different indicators arranged by types, even with descriptions, formulas, purpose, and input values.

Maverick, you could probably lease one of these packages like neoticker, investor rt which has alarms. You can program criteria and have it set when the indicator gets tripped. From your macrocode, it sounds like you can gamma scalp using boll bands since the bands expand when the avg true...

zdreg. I agree with you that 100% payout violates the spirit of the reg t rule BUT a good number of these pro shops will allow a small minority of their traders to go negative which could be a safe harbor if they get audited by regs.

Buy them straddles and scalp the gamma ! Premiums are very cheap relative to stocks movement!

or maybe a chef. His Kobe beef seems to be a hit

def, is it frown for retail and a smirk for the pros or is it frown for any trader classification? I am suprised that it is allowed since it violates the spirit of the downtick rule

I used them in a SIPC retail account with a Penson broker based in Woodclif lake NJ. Anyone interested in retail bullets use google lest I be accused of pimping for them. If I wanted a bullet,I had the connection to Radez bought them, hit my sheets next day. That is my story and am sticking to it.

Bullets are available to retail firms not the exclusive domain of pro shops. In addition, if you trade the same stox, you'd be better off buying a long term married put so you don't have to pay commish every day you want to hit bids. They are available to Penson correspondent brokers and Assent.

Looks like rally failed after 4th touch at resis and broke trend line.My take...

With what is going on with Worldco. I am a little leery of joining any prop firm nowadays. All of the prop firms mentioned in these threads require at least 25 to 50K to trade options. Why not just get memebership in an exchange , lease a seat and get the haircuts w/o putting your capital at...

Good luck. They are good people. They certainly have the back office to handle options since they clear thru Pax. Use Instaquote for options.

Awesome discussions in this thread not like the pro firms section with all the mud slinging, etc. My main point being that a short cal is better from a risk managment standpoint than long since if you are wrong in long cal, there is very little you can do to repair it but short cal you can...

Interesting insights about calendars Maverick. Been doing some long calendars and main issue with them is that profits on most of them get blown out by one calendar. That is what happened to me with EK last month. Another issue with long cal is it is hard to find good ones since the intermonth...

Nice insights D E M . Furthermore, where is the proof that 90% options expire worthless. Even if they do, they don't take into consideration that most of the strikes that expire worthless are not even traded. Ex XYZ at $50, sometimes there are strikes in the 70,80,90 especially in the bubble...

Echotradeonline.com will take in prop traders for a deposit north of 25K. For that you would get market maker margins, nice execution platform,etc. YOu'd need a s7 license.
