When small exchange was promoted , I was under the impression that all they were going to do was mimic the main CME etc products in small size.. as you correctly said CME bit them Value? At retail level apart from pure gaming I can't see what value is there in trading something which is oddball...

Could it be becasue the products are ODD BALL meaning these are not composed of anything that exists in same composition anywhere else! so small size etc great a but what is the point? I stand to be corrected though in above assumption

SelfMadeDude what would be interesting to know is what break even point you have in mind. I mean how many test fees you are willing to fork out in order to get the real reward at the end, If you can do it in 1 test then perhaps it is worth it! ( any pay for test model not just this company) if...

You mean Small exchange or Tastytrade.. ? Speaking of Small exchange the contracts they offer are really oddball and no direct relation or are fungible into something that actually trades

CME options on Index Micro futures any thoughts anybody?

In LOL It is a dangerous fashion to labels thigs quickly under the buzzword "Fintech" and "or millenniums need it" etc many so called Tech entrepreneurs forget that they are playing with peoples money ... for example one Australian Managed Retirement fund start up! marketed itself simply on...

To eliminate the early exercise risk ..what about doing this only on Cash settled European style Option! that would restrict the choices though ! like SPX index options!

Hi Drycleaner 41 My post was in support of your sentiments and comments.. if you search on ET anybody who raises questions you have raised about this business model is immediately labelled as a naysayer, negative becasue he/ she is a failed trader... what you have raised is very valid question...

With the above comment you will be labelled , sour grapes! LOL can't trade so complain... etc grabbing Test fees from thousands and hope to fund very few is the business model ! Real True prop firms don;t do all this BS! they hunt talent at own costs.

so regulatory oversight / Market maker or ECN model etc not important????

Market makers claims that they don;t have any conflict of interest with winning traders! In a perfect world that might be true ...if they can match every buyer and seller internally then there is no risk to them and they won;t mind if you keep winning But that is a BIG IF! and because of that...

from what point of view? Type of broker? MM or ECn? comms? size? being in business? purely from client money protection point of view UK is better than AUS

So that means in so called 150K account if a trader is only allowed to trade say 15 Es contract DAY tarding ONLY .. you as a company with your FCM is not really required to put up 12000 as a margin ? becasue day trading margin can be as low as $1000 per contract SO TST how about being very...

The Foot In simple terms: Option Buyer gets the right to BUY ( CALL option) or SELL ( PUT Option) an underlying asset (to keep it simple a stock) but has no obligation to do so. So his/her max risk is the "Premium" he pays to obtain that option. There are few other factors in it like strike...

Thanks and is that overnight positions or only day trading US hrs?

That may not work... if market whipsaws then both account P/L may look similar! If it was that easy everybody would do it ! and get selected

So your question is which is better A) Go long / short on ES Futures with a SL ( I hope you know You can;lt trade the SPX as a direct closes is ES futures or SPY ETF ) Or B) Instead go Long CALL or PUT...spreads on ES ( by the way there are are options on ES Futures directly so not sure why...

so in simple terms "150K account" -are you allowed to trade 1 ES or 150000/12000 = 12 contracts? - Because to trade 12 contracts the company will have to put up actual 150K $ in to account

"My trading platform is showing 3.4k margin to trade EUR/GBP with 150k gross exposure. That's not that bad. It's something like 30:1 with CME to leverage FX exposure." that is a good idea leverage + exchange traded... but how do you execute the spread? as a single trade , does the exchange have...
