    Question on OTCMarkets executions

    Look at your L2. If you see liquidity in ARCA, then send your order there, otherwise you will have to wait for an equity MM to respond.

    Lightspeed vs Institutional vs Lime & Commission/Data/Colo Costs

    I sent an email response to JHNDCHRTY. For others that want to know the process, high volume customers are negotiated commissions. We post our active trader rates on our website, but we have clients that trade more than 10mm shares per month and we accommodate them. For automated traders, we...

    Need help contructing a position

    Not with listed options. What would come close is that 10 point spread going out 1 year, but buying more of them. eg, if the calls spread has a 50 delta, buy twice as many. That way if you want a delta of 100 shares, buy 2 spreads.

    Opinions please.............???

    I would focus on Futures, but don't do any real trading until your are ready. Ready, would be understand the contract, risks and find your edge, then start very small. These are some benefits: -More trading hours to choose from -Better tax treatment -Better Leverage without a large account -No...

    Handling the psychological part of being a full-time trader/investor

    I expect that you care too much about what others think. You will be a self-employed businessman running a trading business. If you don't want to trade alone, find a partner or someone else in your area that you can share an office with. I traded for 25 years, but not from my basement. I came...

    UK/Europe broker/clearing firms

    I have European-based hedge funds that are my clients. Do you trade exclusively US equities or global equities? Depending upon the size of the fund and what you need access to, if we can't handle it, we have relationships with US Brokers that can , but they have minimum account sizes.

    Trader Career Transition

    That was going to be similar to my question. Do you teach them all your process and strategy or do you examine what they do and help them excel, so they all do different trading? How do you charge for your service?

    This is never about one metric. This is about finding a market neutral strategy they are not employing right now and providing a compelling case that makes them feel like they are missing out on working with you if they don't offer you employment or a deal. You have to sell your strategy and...

    Experience trading from a windows tablet?

    I did not suggest it would be a problem. For me, I'm an option trader and when I do enter trades, they are often options spreads and the process is much easier to evaluate on a stand alone platfrom where I can see more.

    Experience trading from a windows tablet?

    Thx. To me it would be good for monitoring P/L and to be able to cancel orders. I would never "trade" from a mobile app or tablet.

    I'm going to keep this simple and not ask for more information. I'm also going to try and not respond to any other comments made publically. I'm offering to forward any presentation made by anyone that might look like they might be interested and fit what they are looking for. That's it. Anyone...

    Nope. USA based fund in NYC run by an New Yorker. Look, I'm just trying to help a guy with a good business looking for good people. If you are not interested or your strategy or location is not a good fit, no problem. I don't expect this to be easy. I thought a Portfolio Manager here might find...

    Further clarification: At this moment, they are looking for internal traders to come work for their multi-strategy hedge fund. To be clear, they are looking for those that will to join the Fund internally in their NY office. They would also consider other strategies with a preference toward...

    All I can tell you is this fund is based in NYC. They have the resources necessary to make an allocation from $5mm to $10mm to start and will raise money for you if you do well. The rest, I have no idea except what you have read above. Take your time and put together a summary, if you feel you...

    Quitting day job to collect weekly premiums - realistic?

    I sent you a PM. I would stick with Cash settled index options and choose a CTA or hedge fund that does this professionally. I would also suggest not to use all $800K this way. Too risky. I have a few clients that are doing this.
