Too funny. Your delta is out of line but your vega isn't?

"Should be any day now!" This song and dance has been going on since 2010 guys, cmon. We're here nearly 6-7 years later (8 if you count GFC) and we've had ONE 25bps increase in that time.

I guess in this case a tick chart has the advantage of showing you potential hidden liquidity being filled - although that's predicated on individual trades truly representing exactly what it looks like, and in the past that's been an issue...

He's talking about CVB charts, not a literal chart of volume.

Sell rental properties to generate cash to trade with because you're convinced this time it's going to be so much more successful? Dude. Do not do that.

eSignal offers delayed data on all futures options as part of their delayed plan (cheap). Equities cost more.

The MWE / SRW spread has looked like a winner for a while. Heck go crazy and do an MWE - KC - SRW + MWE fly ;-)

The infamous "fat finger" which these days typically means "completely calculated, coordinated, and strategically timed finger."

Hideous move, here's the futures atleast:

Only thing I heard from a grain friend was something about a squeeze in Minneapolis wheat.

I'm just going to ignore all your IB fanboy stuff and focus on the above. The entire point of this thread is about platforms yes, which is where TWS came up. The OP trades energies, I gave him clear examples of where he'll get pissed off using IB/TWS for this. You're the guy who's been...

You're coming off as arguing for arguing's sake here. Look, here is paraphrased version of how the conversation went: bone: Ensure you use a FCM that appropriately margins the spread per what the exchange dictates and does not margin each leg independently. i960: Yes, this is a problem and...

I don't think he was referring to it going down today.

Well guess what: IB margins spreads mostly similar to what the exchange specifies for the most part. In fact, the only area they mostly lack in is excessive conservativeness in far-out contracts on the curve and VX futures - other than that they're similar to the others. And yeah, as an...

He's not even talking about that - he's talking about lame brokers who don't offset the spread properly using the exchange mandated margins but instead said broker charges margin *per* leg. Nobody is asking about software to calculate margin offsets here.

BTW: This is not an option with energy flies. The exchange traded market is crap because they do not imply prices (both CME and ICE are super dumb about this). So even though there is an exchange traded instrument the book itself is pretty much independent and offers significantly worse fills...

If you're doing a 1000 sides a month why the emphasis on the cheapest possible platform btw? Even something as simple as CQG Qtrader is relatively cheap. You mentioned you're swing trading so it's not as if the profit target is a tick.

Just once a year until around 20 years from now we're back at 5%. :rolleyes:

Pretty common for Asian families to have multi-generational households. I don't know why people keep latching onto this, it's petty.

How is this not just a typical wash trade scheme?
