I'm trying to understand your questions. You have been trained by a firm to trade though paper trading. You have consistently lost money in paper trading. If that is true, you are either not following your training or what they are training you to do is in question. What do you think the...

Thank you Drew.

Thanks...you too.

The fastest connection to the CME is to have a FCM allow you to use their iLink session and be hosted in Aurora. I've been told it might only be 2 to 3 MS faster. I can't confirm that. TT will provide some latency values. I can tell you from experience that when you are late, your late. If it's...

I can't provide any data that one is better than the other. I feel unless you really need low latency, where you should have a direct connection not an api, that you go with the one that offers the features that benefit your strategy or just go with the lowest price. I do find that some...

I was just on the phone this week with my TT rep. This year they are going though a major update to move trading from your desktop to the cloud. That is their current focus rather than adding features.

Do you also trade options on futures? The users I speak to are happy with CQG IC for futures. I find CTS T4 easier to use for options on futures. Most of the TT users I have spoken to are automated and seem to like it.

Because you fit the definition. An automated trading system. 3 mils is a very good rate. Examples of Non-Display Use are, but are not limited to:  Any trading in any asset class  Automated order or quote generation and/or order pegging  Price referencing for algorithmic trading  Price...

OTM calls don't get assigned early. ITM are always at risk of early exercise. They are of value to the long call owner if the Dividend is larger than the value of the put on the same strike, minus the cost of carry.

That rate is called 3 mils or $0.0003/share. I don't know any customers that get that rate anymore for execution and clearing. I'm not sure what you meant by,"On a 20 USD stock this comes out to $15/million notional". If you are charged 3 mils and you trade 100M shares in a month, that will cost...

There is a difference between a market maker and a DMM, or what ever each exchange calls them. Each exchange allows registered broker dealers to rent a permit and make markets under their rules and obligations. A DMM has a higher level of expectation and responsibility. For that, they typically...

What do you hope to do with the list? http://www.ise.com/options/membership/exchange-members/ NASDAQ has LMMS- http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/content/NewsAlerts/2014/OTA/BXOptionsLMMAllocations.xlsx I don’t think BATS and BOX has DDMs. NYSE and NYSE ARCA, you will have to call the exchange...

From TWS: -New Window -Risk Navigator -Open "My Portfolio" The equity tab should give you what you are looking for.

I have no concern with a smaller FCM. They often offer a competitive product for retail traders. They have to try harder. The only issue you may come across with a smaller FCM is that they can't handle large overnight positions. They have to match your margin requirement with 8% of their...

I don't know anything about AMP, except they are VERY small. See attached CFTC report. Good luck, I hope it works well for you. Bob

Low interest rates are VERY bad for the elderly and those that have saved money over many years. Very good for young people looking to buy homes and invest in businesses.

It means you should check it during trading hours. MCD had news after the close.

That is the way it should be. Awesome.

A good check to see if they have made the proper adjustment for dividends and interest is to look at the Ivol for the ATM puts and calls. Assuming they calculate them separately, which they may not, the Ivol for the put and call on the same strike should be similar. If the put is a lot higher...
