We are introducing brokers to IB for our LiveVolX software and I have accounts there that we service and support. And, I don't have to "suck up" accounts from IB, their clients come to me to either move or have a second account with us.

ouch

You need to ask what that is. If they are adding up all the bids on the 500 stocks and all the offers, that is silly. There is no bid/ask on a cash index.

Really wide market.

You'd have to ask TD.

SPX is the cash index based on the last sale of the 500 stocks. The hedge is the ES future, which MM use for pricing, because that is what they can hedge with. Most retail trades just watch the SPX cash. There is NO bid/ask on the Cash which updates every 15 seconds. Does that help?

From 1982 to 1984, I was a wire clerk, then floor broker for a member firm on the AMEX. We had institutional clients that traded options. There was on client where the phone line said, "Stevie/Gruntal". "Stevie" legged into reversals and conversion and took advantage of the miss pricing of...

Paper trading is not meant for accuracy, but for learning the software. You will never get real results with paper trading. IF you want to track expected P/L from that process, use a spread sheet and assume you have to take offers and hit bids. This will give conservative results. Also, although...

I'm on a sales call right now. I found out we DO offer FLEX trades through our institutional desk. Happy to talk to anyone that needs to FLEX trades with an account with us. In general, these are for larger accounts and block trades, not 10 lots.

The true test of your strategy will be in the next down market to see how you react to adversity.

I can't add up my losses over the years from my opinions over when the market will change direction. I find it is more profitable to be conservative but trade the market we have vs what I expect.

What have you done to "bet" this prediction?

Hybr1d88, Why don't you email me your contact information and set up a time to talk today. I'll answer all your questions in a way that might be more helpful after I get more information. Bob

We can offer Stock DT with accounts over $25,000 We can offer Futures accounts starting at $25,000 You can trade them both from Realtick, but they are separate accounts and Realtick will cost $100/month or more plus Market Data We pass through Market data fees. I think ES is $40/month. We don't...

Email me a little more information: Your name? What asset class? Size of the account? What else do you need? Bob

I'm not aware of that, but it is still not a requirements. And, the 65 takes the average person 4 weeks of studying part time, under $300 for study material and the cost of the exam. I'd say the CFA will cost more in time and money.

Ouch

xandman, If you are asking me, I don't expect that 3) is correct. No regulatory body requires a CFA to be an RIA, CTA or CPO.

I think this is more a manner of necessity. Some roles require one or the other or neither.
