    Can one trade futures options in an IRA? Where?

    Our minimum is $25,000 USD. I'm not sure what Midland IRA requires. Also, you have to leave a small minimum balance at Midland IRA to cover fees.

    Aren't we always paying the spread?

    The CBOE shows there book here. http://www.cboe.com/cob/ Look at the spread market here first. Better a bid by a small amount and see if you can see your order.

    Aren't we always paying the spread?

    I would say no. You can't always get meaning from the mid -point, as that can be altered by small customer orders. That said, there are market makers that monitor spread books looking for an edge to their values. When they get enough, they will trade with you. You need to make sure you are using...

    Can one trade futures options in an IRA? Where?

    We introduce to Wedbush Futures. I have used Midland IRA to open my futures account and get SPAN margin for options and futures. I can and do sell options without any extra margin premium. I have also allocated to CTAs that sell options. I also have clients that have done that. You need a...

    Whither UVXY options?

    My guess, because there is no OCC bulletin yet, is that they wanted to wait a day after the split to add regular strikes. https://www.theocc.com/webapps/infomemos?query=UVXY&submit-search.x=0&submit-search.y=0&submit-search=search

    Extreme Newbie - Short Call Question

    Your example of the buy and sell at the same price are not possible and makes it hard to respond. If the prices were 3.00 and 1.00, you would be buying the spread for 2.00 net. If your short call gets assigned, you will likely have a large margin requirement the next day and have to cover the...

    I contacted CQG. They said," If you log off CQG without cancelling a working Bracket order, the only order working at the exchange is a limit order without the target and stop loss protection."

    But after the condition is met, the order is only executed at the exchange, that is why I find the terminology they use odd. That's all I'm saying.

    Sorry, I see that now. That term makes no sense to me. I want all my client orders sent the the exchange order book and not keep on their server. the OCO tags should be server side but not execution.

    Lightspeed Trader Adds Short Locate Functionality

    I have to agree. I suggested setting a limit based on account size or even just 2000 shares per request. Maybe one day. I don't make those decisions.

    Lightspeed Trader Adds Short Locate Functionality

    T stands for Threshold. It is my understanding that stocks on the Threshold just can't be sold short at all. L stands for locate, which means it is NOT on the ETB list. Regular locates are not automated at this time because of the concern over abuse. There is the concern that traders will ask...

    Lightspeed Trader Adds Short Locate Functionality

    We clear Wedbush Securities. They provide the locates that are free. The Velocity Capital service is only for hard to borrow securities that we can't locate. I have no idea in any one day or any one security, if IB or Wedbush can provide a locate if the other one can't. I can tell you that very...
