Any and all are welcome with or without an RSVP! 1:Ed Tulauskas: Power of Butterflies 2: Moving a Strategy to Options, Slingshot https://www.meetup.com/rdutraders/events/301368667/

I posted it late I know. It went very well for a start I think. We got maybe 12 or 13 people and lots of discussion. We really only got through the setup, so probably we will continue it into his sample trades in a month or so. You are welcome to take part if so you can. I will post...

South Durham Regional Library April 24 5:00 pm: Studying Luc Van Hof's Slingshot Option Strategy I was incredibly impressed watching Luc's outstanding Aeromir RoundTable video at , which presents his Slingshot strategy. Let's go over the details of this strategy ourselves for everybody who...

Just on EasyLanguage compatibility, "MultiCharts PowerLanguage is 99% compatible with EasyLanguage" So if one writes in TradeStation EasyLanguage, one can later move the code out to MultiCharts with minimal conversion effort to access the many brokerage API's supported by MultiCharts.

I found out that NinjaTrader allows you to write your code in real C++ in Visual Studio, which is attractive to me as a starting point. NinjaTrader seems to support perhaps more clearing broker APIs than anything else, including Rithmic.

That is true and actually lean.io is the opensource engine at the heart of quantconnect. I am sure that having all of Quantconnect's Cloud based data and backtest capabilities is valuable to many people. I may use it but I am looking now to see if I can find something with a lighter footprint...

Absolutely he is great and I am looking into a number of the ones he mentions.

Sorry I did not mean in connection with lean.io. I just meant of general interest, for example https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/multicharts-automated-trading.370211/#post-5693036

Thanks for the suggestions. I would prefer to have a lightweight implantation if possible in which I have the entire source code. This looks achievable with lean.io and some others. However if that proves impossible then I will definitely look at some of the alternatives tied to comprehensive...

I just have a simple strategy for day trading a future and would like to trade it via a broker API. I do not mind writing the code to do the actual calls to the broker API but could use a general code framework to build on. https://www.lean.io/ looks very interesting. The Automated Trading...

I will take a look, thanks.

Are there any good open-source (or even paid) trading automation frameworks or toolkits? It could be in C# or C or another language. I can write the interface to the broker API. I am mainly just looking for a good foundation especially re GUI elements etc. I do see...

That is an excelled point that will certainly be an important consideration for many people. It appears that Deribit is not regulated. Binance is regulated in some countries. Binance.US is regulated in the US with a much reduced set of offerings. I did say "best for me." I see I said...

Based on info from here (thanks!) and elsewhere, it looks like the best for me, at least long term, would actually be Deribit and Binance with a VPN. Doing so is not illegal for us as U.S. traders (providing you file the taxes properly). The exchange just has to be able to have evidence...

Thanks!

Thanks. Do you do option spreads at all?

I dd find https://genesisvolatility.substack.com/ https://www.youtube.com/c/GenesisVolatility which specializes in analysis of Crypto Options.

That would be a major restriction. If your account is large enough to have Portfolio margin, though, it should be ok in that case I assume? https://legacy.deribit.com/pages/docs/portfoliomargin But I agree that they should not require Portfolio Margin to allow trading low risk spreads with...

There is a list of brokers supposedly offering these products at https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/bitcoin-futures-commission-merchants-fcms.html Is anyone aware of any discussion anywhere of trading crypto option spreads such as broken wing butterflies and iron condors? These CME products...

Hi Robert, So the total cost with Lightspeed Trader would be very roughly half what it is at TOS TDA or IBKR? Is this subject to a $1 per leg minimum? On complex spreads there are many legs but they might be only quantity one. More importantly, does it end up coming down to the same total...
