    Ideal Prop Firm

    My advise would be with to avoid the Broker Dealer model and try to raise $5MM. The time, cost and regulation involved with a broker dealer is more difficult than most understand. And, the game changes all the time. In two weeks you can set up an LLC, open a Customer Portfolio Margin (CPM)...

    Let's talk about spread execution

    You're trading options with wide spreads. So as an example, let say one market is 9.00/10.00, and the other leg is 13.00/14.50. The mid point is 9.50 - 13.75=4.25. Let's assume this is fair value. Let's also assume you want to sell 10 spreads at 4.25. Now a customer bid comes into one leg and...

    Would this Desktop support 8 to 12 Monitors ?

    This is not an issue. Any motherboard with on board video, can be disabled very easily in the bios to enable only the new card. No conflict.

    Would this Desktop support 8 to 12 Monitors ?

    If all your screens are being used for your trading platform, what you're trying to do is fine. If some windows are being used for different programs, I would recommend using one computer for your trading platform and another for other stuff like charting and the internet. You can use Synergy to...

    How can I fix this psychological problem?

    Try to look at trading as making business decisions. Trading is a business. Enter trades you feel have an edge. Exit when you lose your edge. Good risk management of your business will mandate your size. During times of "draw down", or losing money, get small. During time when your doing well...

    No. This list it from the NASDAQ website of available trading symbols. I've never checked it.

    Link that has list of all publicly traded symbols? nasdaq, nyse, amex, otcbb, pinks?

    Here is the first three. You'll have to go the websites for the two other exchanges for them. http://www.nasdaq.com/screening/company-list.aspx

    Cash-Settled Calendar Spreads -- Is Max Loss Actually Greater than Debit Paid?

    I agreed with you. If you're looking to close down or roll the spread using the complex order book, you will have to give something to the market makers for them to play. If this is your concern, stick with SPY or IWM where the markets are very tight but you loose that tax advantage.

    Brokerage accepting deposits in euro

    Most prime brokers do. Do you really want to pay the spot market spread very time to pay for a transaction in USD?

    Cash-Settled Calendar Spreads -- Is Max Loss Actually Greater than Debit Paid?

    What if the market has a big rally and the long call is 75.00 at the expiration of the earlier call. Then the position is at risk for the $75.00 after the hedge is assigned with cash.

    Because you can close down the second leg or roll the position at any time.

    Do you want to open the account in euros and convert the capital to USD to trade, or keep the account balance in Euros yet trade US securities?

    Difference between CBSX and SEC registered firms?

    ALL Broker Dealers doing securities business in the US are registered with the SEC. Then you have to join an SRO. Most SROs use FINRA as their regulatory body. The CBSX at this point is self regulatory. To determine if your JBO requires a 365 day lock up, you have to ask if your capital...
