I agree that option SMART routes are set up that way. An option MM gets first look and then settles on an exchange that works best for the route, as they have to cover any fees over PFOF. In general, the orders go to a small number of large MM firms, so many orders that are "SMART" are treat in...

Why would a limit order get different fills at different brokers, unless the order is held in an option dark pool? If you don't get Direct Market Access, they send your order to the exchange that provides the best cost/revenue structure for them. The reality is that most executions that are not...

Yes, 100MM is an important level. I said that too. One of our clients grew from around $6mm of their own money to $240mm in the last 7 years. The last $150mm was all from the third party marketers. I've gotten paid for it too, at my old firm. We are not approved for it yet at LS. I only raised...

This opportunity is for employment, so no management fee. Most of the hedge funds and CTAs we deal with charge either 2/20, 1/25 or 0/30. Most are still 2/20. It is common for large allocators or initial angel investors to get a better rate. I've seen as low as .5/15 for $25mm or more. The idea...

If you going to only have $10K from taking out funds, we are not the best match for you.

The only advice I can give you is: -Manage your positions to make you comfortable for the risk you want. -Ignore, except for tax purposes, when and the price you put on a position. Look at the current market and prices, and decide at that point in time what you want it to look like, then...

>$25K to start and get 4x for futures DT After that, we don't close your account, but you should not get 25% of SPAN for DT. There are accounts that trade with less than $10K because they lost money.

I agree, but not my choice. The account does not have to maintain $25K like stocks and I have asked for a smaller accounts for those that do equites too and the futures account is a second account. Sorry, I don't get a vote!

Futures, $25K for us.

Zodiac4u, The minimum is for all accounts, Wedbush. That is a regulatory minimum for DT. What country are you from. We can't offer accounts to Canadians.

We can do smaller accounts on our Web Trader, but you can't get DT. It is a regulatory minimum.

Email me you contact information. I'll give you a call.

We take foreign accounts but yes the minimum account size to get DT margin is $25K.

We don't offer them but there are single stock futures and CFD. I'm going to agree with Turveyd. If I had under $25K to trade, I'd focus on futures.

We have charting packages in our trading platforms. What do you need that those typically don't cover?

There is a search tool on the top right to view all posts from any member. I use the "like" button to encourage helpful and accurate responses.

What is the goal, to avoid DT requirements?

How about a "don't like" button for those that are abusive?

Ratio put spread where you buy the extra puts. 2:1, 3:1 etc.

Since I left the AMEX in 2010, My personal trading is VERY small and monitored by my firm. So are my emails, instant messages and ET conversations. I have a number of futures account for CTAs to trade for me. I only trade when I get bored. The money outside my managed money is not traded...
