Lightspeed Trader is not for Futures,. RealTick, CQG, CTS T4, TT etc are. They all offer Charting and all offer ES.

You are making the assumption that the midpoint is fair value. That a MM can buy the options $0.02 below the midpoint and want to take risk on the trade. That is not how this works in my experience. Each MM will have their own values based on market conditions and where other options are...

You can email me later. Tell me the size of the account, how often you trade, what you trade and where you are from. I'll give you some information and we can go from there. This is not a proper place to discuss your requirements. A conversation would be faster, My email is below. Bob

Complaints from clients about delayed fills. Sometimes you can’t take offers and hit bids. I just don’t like them. Just my opinion.

Sounds like a dark pool if these are listed symbols. Even when our clients use the MM route on Web Trader, the executions on small lots are not delayed. Give me a call after 8am ET if you want to discuss what I can offer. https://www.lightspeed.com/ Bob

Are you sure you want to get involved with options that are that illiquid? Only you can determine the price you are willing to sell your option vs where the stock is trading. You need to pick that price as the worst you are willing to accept. Then, if it were me, I would enter an order to sell...

In what country can you buy a gold mine that still has gold to mine?

Hi GotherL, I might have missed it. Where was your order routed? Does it go to the NYSE/NASDAQ or any other lite ECN or is it routed to a MM or dark pool? We only offer the MM route on our Web Trader. I get no complaints. On our other software, we offer DMA and sometimes a SMART route. The...

I'm going to add 2. Anyone that claims to "guarantee" anything is suspect . Anyone that offers a 100% free service. Where do revenues come from? I'm going to respectfully disagree with few. "Make money through selling order flow" (EVERY US BD does this to one degree or another-Your...

That I'm not going to do, and yes, there are market makers and hedge funds that do this. I did this. You need good margin rates and ultra low commissions, because you have to do a lot of spreads and you never know what you will get away with. This is the general process. Look for a stock with a...

1st car I ever drove was a Fiat. I was a 12 years old! Always wanted a Ferrari. Not going to happen. :(

I type too slowly to over explain this, but your statement is not true. If a stock is trading at 80 and I'm long the 65 call with 1 weeks to go, and the put is $0.05 and the dividend is x-div $0.50 tomorrow, the call is a clear exercise if I have enough funds for the margin. All things equal...

Yes.

I’m more of an expert on PM than reg-t. Not sure what is required if you get assigned and that stock causes a call, besides closing the following day to close out without a call.

Typically, early assignment risk comes from ITM calls with a dividend in the next day, and the math makes owning the stock better than the option. It can also happen with very hard to borrow stocks where the short stock is expensive to carry or there are buy ins.

IMO, there is no best. Software is just a tool. you want the "best" tool for your needs. That is why we offer a number of choices for equity/options and many for Futures.

So, what will you do?

I agree. I don't do that. I do know people that bought AAPL at 165 -180 presplit. Then the market dropped and they rode it down to around 90 and back up to today. Not a trader mindset.
