You have a successful method, why not explain this to your wife? After all, you will both rip the benefits.

Thanks for reply, this clarifies things. What's the big deal about putting 25K into account, especially when you have winning strategy?

Hi Falconvie, Can you please elaborate on this. What do you mean by exchange do not allow pattern traders???? Thanks

Hi Econbizer, I never had these issues with IB. The platform does go down rarely, but that happened with any broker that I ever traded. IB is the only US broker that gives you access to KOSPI, and I am pretty happy with them. redduke

Yep , agree. I am a happy IB customer.

Found it on their website: The KRX Markets (KOSPI Market, KOSDAQ Market and Derivatives Market including KOSPI 200 Futures on CME Globex and KOSPI 200 Options on Eurex) will open and close one hour later on November 10, 2011 due to the annual Korea Scholastic Aptitude Test. However...

Not receiving any KOSPI data via IB?

Wow, I guess segregated has a new meaning now.

Looks like an interesting book. Just ordered it. Thanks

You were right, it is 0.15 plus 0.35-0.45, still a lot cheaper. Love IB and will continue trading futures through them, but will look elsewhere for options.

IB charges around $2.5-$2.8 per round trip. Let's say I want to execute 3 iron condors, the cost will be about $30. I found brokers, and one of them has the following fee structure $12.5 for up to 400 options plus 0.15 for each option. The above trade would roughly cost 1/2 of what IB...

Hi FSU, I currently trade with IB, and planning to start trading SPX with them for now, just looking at cheaper alternatives without sacrificing the service. Thanks, redduke

Hi FSU, Which broker(s) would you say would be best to trade SPX options with? Thanks, redduke

Really liked the movie. There were few lines where Demi Moore said that she warned about potential issues, so it was not a total surprise. The warnings were just ignored. To all critics who hates it, it is just a movie, and it has to be watched with understanding that things will be made...

I back tested selling credit spreads on monthly basis blindly back to 1997, and as you said the results were not great. Surprisingly however, with certain risk management, they still yielded positively over that period on average. Still, not something I want to do for sure.

FSU, Curious, what strategies to you trade on SPX?

FSU Once again, thanks a lot.

FSU, I just saw some of your earlier posts that SPX was potentially moving to C2 for fully electronic trading. What is the latest on this switch? Thanks

I just checked SPXPM and there is a lot less volume than SPX. Wish SPX was all electronic. Is there any vendor/broker that might show COB? Regards, redduke

Thank you very much for the answer.
