Thanks to both of you. Just21, I will check the free version of ProRealTime. I remember this software from 10 years ago on french forums and I thought it was for hobbyists... Robert, I checked Lightspeed software. It seems great but do stock traders use "spreaders" to leg in passively on one...

Really? It's not possible anymore ?I thought I was the only one unable to figure it out. What is the point of having a secondary serie on a chart if you can't even check its values, calculate their respective betas...

Hello, I am getting interested in pair trading on stocks and I would like to know what pair traders are using in 2016. I would just like to be able to chart ratio and differences between 2 tickers, as well as custom formulas if possible. Setting up alerts on values would be mandatory as well...

Hello, I haven't used TWS for charting in a while, and I can't recall exactly ,but it seemed on previous versions about 5 years ago, you could pull a secondary series on a chart , put on the crosshair button and then you could read the secondary series quotes in a panel next to the chart. Now...

They perhaps messed it up with mini soybeans( 1000 Bushels )?

I didn't read much about OJ lately so I don't know the fundamental picture since last winter, but the curve is backwardated. Jan/Mar and Mar/May are at 20 years high. Nov/jan a little lower. It depends if you consider much lower price in '17 are the manifestation of upcoming replenished...

Why? I am curious.

Are there some people still trading OPGs in 2016? It was ( and perhaps still is ) a really interesting strategy based on an apparently unnatural imbalance created by specialists on openings. But what is the importance of the specialist today( sorry I am not a stock trader so I don't know )...

I will most likely be wrong, but if I recall, there was some kind of small crash in august 2011, so by delta hedging into august expiration, he probably missed the volatility increase that would have made his bet profitable and used the margin left to buy some further protection only to see the...

Like buying more premiums than there is money on your account and all expire worthless?

Huh? How do you do that?

Yes. That's true. I lack the multidimensional thinking. options are really 2 bets in one. But acknowledge it is counterintuitive. Are there some other famous hedge fund blow ups on these?

I meant being right on underlying direction. Martinghoul, was it during august 07 " first crash"? Interest rates went up abruptly? Were there some casualties?

Hello, I am reading Allen Baird's book on option market making( a great read... ) and he mentioned traders blowing up being short CALLS during the crash of '87. I knew it was possible to be right on direction on short options but still lose when IV is exploding , but not to the extent of...

I am not a currency trader , so I am interested in hearing what you think about parking a bit of money in AUD cash. - It is one of the last currency to pay an interest on deposits( 1.5 % or so at IB ). - Historically it is quite low. - It is generally linked to commodities, which are going up...

Thanks. I had found it too, but my question is about NON- deepbook windows( level 1 ).

OK thanks. So If you have 100 tickers, you can open 100 booktraders( if you have like 20 screens LOL ). Am I right?
