Hi FSU, Thanks for a reply. So, what I see on Interactive brokers feed, are the quotes from that one MM? Is there any way to see what others are quoting in between big b/a spread? I want to execute credit spreads, and I would need to "test" the fill on both legs, what is the best way to...

Hi MTE, Can you please explain what do you mean by screen market vs actual market. Thanks, redduke

GM All, I have a question about spread execution, and started this thread: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=228250 Can you please take a look and answer if you can. Thanks, redduke

ES options are quite liquid, and the spread is tighter than SPX. Not sure if anything else is out there in US that is more liquid. The only way tight spread execution work great is when underlying goes in your direction, but when it tickz a bit against you, even time decay does not help too...

The answer to the thread is, just do the opposite of what you do now. It has to be the exact opposite. It seems easy, but really it is not.

Please point the threads please. I have seen many reference that it happenned, but have not seen it actually happening. You obviously do not need to prove anything to anyone, but it would be great to see sct live and working as it designed.

Hi Jack, I respect both you and spyder, and learned few things from sct, but it baffles me, why didn't you go on record even once, in any of the rooms, to show how it it by by a master? If one adds how much time you spent helping others, it is obscene, why not show it?????? Regards, redduke

Same here, I was referring to futures. We can not trade options from US. It does not make sense why, but it is what it is.

That is weird, I do not have any issues. I am based in New York. Check if yuo connect to HK farms, also check your isp conections/setting. If you are using 3rd party software, check setting there as well.

That is quite impressive. And I thought I do a lot of RT with my 7-20 trades per session on K200. Do you mind elaborating on your strategies, unless is is proprietary of course. I spoke with MF about a year ago, and they told me that they do have auto solution via PATS feed. But I had some...

Yeah, and instead we got Bush. And this turned out so well.

Actually he was a great leader. As for the man, the answer will depend on whom you ask.

Idiotic post by OP. For example, services such as police and fire fighters are necessary otherwise it is wild west, each for its own. Can not go out without a gun, who wants to live in a society like this??? Plus, plice and firefighters to be paid for on municipal level, since people will...

Hi opt789, Thanks for a reply. I do trade futures directionally, but exploring options. I want to have time decay on my side, and that is why I exploring options. If naked is the only way to trade I will trade them, but I am trying to get into spreads to help me manage/limit downside...

The main issue with trading wide spreads (50 points or more), it does not provide much of protection over naked put. It costs more in commission and effort to roll it down, should market move against the position. So is there anyone who trades credit spreads on ES and can pride an insight...

Does anyone here trade ES put credit spreads with tight (25 points away) spread distance. I find that it is really hard to get out of the position since the spread is usually 2 ticks on each options, and the premium is usually within 2-3 points if delta is within .1-.13 What is the best...

And yet the answer is so simple, I mentioned it before, here it is again. Most traders lose money, and in order to make money, just do the opposite of what you do right now. But it MUST be EXACT opposite.

While I understand now HFT take advantage of collocation to trade equities, and make money from rebates, sub penning, flash orders and etc, I still find it hard to understand how these strategies can be transferred to ES. If anyone can shed any light, that would be great. Thanks

I read the book a while back. Interesting, but not applicable for most traders. No matter what psychological profile one has, without an edge, the trader will not make money in the markets. But if one has an edge, even with screwed up psychology you can end up in green.

I was getting market depth for kospi futures without any issues tonight.
