You might want to start with the National Futures Association. See link below. Usually, the Series 3 is required for the more popular options (CPO/CTA etc...) This site should answer most of your questions. http://www.nfa.futures.org/registration/who_has_to_register.asp

Does ER2 have options? Even better (margin wise) might be spreads using futures options that are subject to SPAN.

A lot has been posted here about the topic over the last few years. By all my research...which is quite a bit...all appears very much on the level and even conservative on IB's part. If you have any concerns at all, simply use a limit order.

Options Trader, Selling is the way to go...but I use the analogy that it is like flying a jet fighter plane. You need a great deal of preparation, training, skill and understanding of many things that cause you to blow up. As you can see, there are many stories here from those who were...

I absolutely abhor these bastards as well...I hear you. BUT, the problem is once you dump QCharts...what do you start using? I need to backtest stuff pretty far back and I need live scans for my occasional speculative jaunts. ESignal is just as bad in their own way.

I'm with ya. Gordon usually throws us the easy ones.

igrimsley, I think it is as simple as your first thought. The cell references (without using $ in the cell formula) will move when copied down. Gordon, Try igrimsley's first formula of =Average(B7:B10), then copy it down as necessary. In your example, if you want to freeze the...

I wish. I would get a shovel out and dump some on myself!!!!

Now go make some money!!!

Try this: for C22 =COUNTIF(O4:O7,">=0") for C23 =COUNTIF(O4:O7,"<0")

My QCharts pkg shows them at 5:01. Now QCharts sucks, but would they miss it by exactly a half hour? The Dell release was at 5pm, correct? So wouldn't it make sense that the spike would be at 5pm?

I think they do. I saw a piece a few weeks ago on one of the CA universities who has been hard at work "leveling the color of academia" and they were having a big problem with wide variances in abilities within the classroom. It is possible that Asians are being discriminated against worse...

Maybe I am missing something. Globex closes from 4:15 to 4:30, then from 5:30 to 6:00 EST. These prints were at 5:01, the market was open a half hour before and a half hour after the trades.

If you are white, you need to be a legacy or know someone. If you are not white, just fill out the form.

I think the 1156 prints were legit. Dell had an announcement and the ES spiked. About 5:01 Thursday if I remember correctly. It quickly returned to the high 1140s, then we hit 1150 again Thursday morning. I think some of the services were fooled by the holiday. Bloomberg was showing the...

I tried setting up some alerts months ago. They have this cool interface and all these settings that are very specific, however none of them ever worked. I posted the question on the Yahoo Qcharts board and no one ever responded...which tells me people stopped trying to use the feature long...

I have not found one that has it all. Most of what I trade is either newer (YM) or the rollovers confound the data vendors. I get it one website at a time...and the CBOT site leaves a lot to be desired, although it has gotten better.

...and I heard it's splitting again? jeeeezzz....

Looks like a VW golf. Nice job cheapening the brand though. If people stop buying the 7 series because of this, they'll learn the Porsche lesson from a few years back.

This guy is already holed up in the mosque. As soon as the US gets thru filling a few more body bags in Fallujah, they will head over and try to arrest this guy. These guys are like mushrooms and they will never go away. It's like going to the carnival and playing "whack-a-mole" while...
