    Futures Flies - Get Filled?

    IB shows VIX spreads in increments of .05 in the chart, even though they trade in .01. I think there are a few quirks with their spreads. Not sure why they do that when they show the true pricing of the spread elsewhere.

    Futures trading latency

    I know you are looking more so for the speed through brokers, but just in case you want to see I believe the CME has the speed at Aurora on their website, not 100% positive on that though. I went to a thing at their headquarters and one of the presenters talked about their specific latency and...

    Olympic lifters/Crossfit workout and diet thread

    That's crazy. I think the smallest I've ever used is probably a 24-25g and that was slow. Maybe the quality is better in yours or something with the ester. I used a 16g by accident once....thought it was a 20 and wasn't paying attention. Think that was about classified as a puncture wound based...

    Can you get it to even come out of one that small?!

    Olympic lifters/Crossfit workout and diet thread

    Yeah, I would prefer to not be put on TRT if at all possible. I have no problem with taking it, but if I can do it on my own I would much rather that be the case as young as I am. I can save that for when I get older. My doc won't prescribe anything at all I'm sure, based on our prior...

    Olympic lifters/Crossfit workout and diet thread

    Yeah, I just need to get bloodwork done and see what's up. I haven't tried finding hCG in a long time, but I took nolvadex prescribed by the doc to treat some gyno and it jacked up my sex drive and everything. The gyno suprisingly went down about 75%...rebounded a little after stopping but...

    Olympic lifters/Crossfit workout and diet thread

    I believe it doesn't absorb as well and you don't get as much out of it because of it. I think the gel form is just meant to make it more convenient or for people who don't want to inject.

    Convexx, are you on TRT? I've been debating on going to the doc to get my levels checked. I'm way too young under normal circumstances, but I did some very foolish things at a very young age and think I probably knocked some stuff out of whack. Everything was fine before, but the past 2 years or...

    New Elite Trader website layout is not as good as old ET

    Thanks for fixing the mobile layout. I used to have to switch to landscape to see the bar at the top with Inbox and everything, but looks like it's all good now.

    VIX fly / spread journal

    Things sure have livened up the past couple days that's for sure. Should have exited my spreads before close yesterday. Coulda, woulda, shoulda

    VIX fly / spread journal

    I think it is X_trader Pro that you can get through AMP futures for either $1,200/month or .50/trade. The second option might make more sense for me because I am not doing 2400 contracts a month, so that would obviously be significantly cheaper, unless there is some minimum.

    VIX fly / spread journal

    I would love to be using one of those, but can't justify it currently. I have used CQG for a little while elsewhere and really liked it a lot. I have only done a demo with TT so no actual trading in it. It seemed very good also though. Hmm, I will give it another shot. I tried looking the...

    VIX fly / spread journal

    Do any of you all trading vix with IB know of a workaround to see a chart with the actual native spread pricing? I have only been able to pull ones based on the synthetic spread so it is in 5 cent increments. I would like to get a little more detailed view or to see the depth at least. I was a...

    Mentorship / training fail

    Sign me up! You are basically saying have the student work for the mentor for a couple weeks as they are being trained, and if they do well for the mentor have them pay the student some, right?

    New look of ET

    I haven't been on in a little while, but lastnight I logged in on my iPhone. It was difficult to read because of the scrolling, this morning it is all formatted properly and looks great on my end. Thanks for making the adjustments as I use my phone the majority of the time.

    Milking late-night slow movement (ZB)

    5.3% on what? Not on margin or the value of the contract, the cost just represented 5.3% of his profits per trade not that he has to make 5% on the account to break even.

    And another trading documentary...

    And another trading documentary...

    I was there in the pits this past weekend for the first time, I must say I was shocked at the old pictures I had seen vs how many people are down there now. Quite empty to say the least. Still a lot of people of course, but several pits just had 2 or 3 guys in them just sitting down talking lol.

    A Career Transition into Trading

    Just do the topsteptrader combine 3 times. It will cost you $150-200 and might help you figure out whether you can make it happen in that short of a time frame. Just an idea fwiw
