I think that sometimes we forget that what is large for us is just another trade to a large hedge fund. When I was on the AMEX, a customer would come in and do a 3 ways spread in a Utility with 250,000 options per side. They rolled the spread a few times. Meant nothing to me because I have no...

Was it part of a spread or paired with stock? They are 20 points OTM. What do you think?

Yes, I would call. They might have a diagnostic they can run.

You can also bring up the Task Manager and see where the load is. I'm running a lot right now, 3 spreadsheets, 3 trading programs, outlook and 12 tabs on Google chrome. Your Disk usage might be high. Your HD might be too slow for this and you might need Win 10 64 and an SSD Drive. You don't need...

I would call MS. My office 365 loads slower than MS office 2010, then then it works fine and my PC has a slower processor and less ram.

Non members update with cancel/replaces. Very slow vs what a member can do. You will get picked off all the time.

Yes. It basically allows you to volatility trade but all your markets will up date too slowly.

As a Customer, non- BD, you can choose to elect professional customer status and make two sided markets. As for earning the spread, that is a complicated question.

JSOP, CFTC is Futures. We are discussing equity option markets. Two sided markets are allowed by the futures exchanges. You just have to limit your messages per day or you have to register as a MM. Those limits are MUCH higher than 390/day. Bob

FYI: We have to track this, but it is the trader responsibility to know where they are. Your broker is not responsible for alerting you. In general, this affects RIA -with multiple accounts, automated traders and hedge funds with many trader more than a single manual trader. It is a lot of...
