Are you worrying about an account size well over SIPC limits or well under? If well over, just multi-prime. If well under, I'd focus on other metrics as these firms show no sign of having more risk than others being on the outside.

In my experience, I have never had a wealth investor, fund of fund or family office ever use the S&P as the bench market in their evaluation. In fact, they typically want returns that are not correlated to the S&P, or market neutral or based on a proprietary data set without market risk. The...

I'm not a full time trader anymore and have a full time job. I have allocated toward hedge funds and CTAs so they can do that full time and I can do my job. Even if you are a full time trader, you can't be good at everything. If you have excess capital and can allocate it toward a manager that...

This may not be a fair metric. This assumes the comparison is being 100% long the "market" while most of those participating with hedge funds are looking for other investments that don't replicate the "market" from a risk standpoint.

If you want free, CME Direct is free. NO platfrom fee, NO market data fee. NO extra execution fee. Free is not always the best solution. http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/cme-direct.html Bob

Yes, that is when it is calculated, at the end of the session. We offer the same for IRAs opened through a self directed IRA company like Midland IRA. I have had no negative feedback from any futures client from any other FCM/Broker. Keep in mind that RT does not have access to VX futures or...

We offer Futures accounts at Wedbush Futures using exchange SPAN margin. https://www.lightspeed.com/pricing/commission/ https://www.lightspeed.com/futures/ https://www.lightspeed.com/trading-platforms/realtick-pro-and-express/realtick-platform-features/ On RT I can offer up to 25% of SPAN for...

Not a retail solution for a small account.

Since I eat turkey of one kind or another 4 to 5 days a week, I'm going to try and not eat turkey today!

The Real Tick spreader is server side. I believe the TT one is cloud based. Unless I'm hosted in the CME data center with a FIX or direct iLink connection, I don't see how building anything that sits in my office can be faster. Happy Turkey day sle...cheers

I was 22 years old, just finished NYU and was only making $250/week as a wire clerk on the Amex. She was a food editor scholastic magazine. We were both making very little money.

I'd say given your description, this is a good choice. You should be able to calculate your single leg and spread margin with a simple spread sheet.

I've been married 33 years and a grandfather. If you find the right women, it awesome.

Always wanted to try that.

The pro version of RT, to get the Strategy Server, is $325/month but you won't have to pay any extra per contract fee and you get our lower rates on our website that start at $0.60/side.

I can offer Object+ for $100/month. you will get live SPAN margin and you can use whatever software you want. I have to limit what I can show you here, but you get the idea. Realtick does not do the spread margin offsets but I can offer up to 25% of SPAN for DT which will help cover the spread...

The best you can do is stage orders or spreads to exit, then manually choose a price to exit when you need to. Some software has basket traders that will enable you to send out multiple order. I would not use them for options. In Silexx, one of the professional platforms we offer, in the...

What did you not like about TT or CTS T4?

What symbols? Realtick has a Strategy Server. I have clients that use it for equity pairs trading but it will do futures too. Want to try a demo?

Very expensive, but CQG has one on their IC platfrom as an add-on. https://www.cqg.com/products/product-comparison.
