Do you actually trade this way intraday? Are you consistently profitable?

Nadex in US, betonmarkets if international. checkout forexfactory forums for binary options broker talk, much more discussion there rather than here.

Long story short, your delta hedging has to have 'edge' in and of itself. Using it to hedge your short premium is a mission because there are two things to consider: hedge frequency (daily, at certain price points, etc.) and size of hedge. On frequency: Too low frequency, you'll always be...

Think you need $10k to open an account at IB.

Up to $10 million notional is an instant fill at Oanda, if I'm not mistaken. Or maybe they just say that to lure you in, I never tried it :)

How did she not trade September if she starts these IC's 80 days out? i.e. she would have initiated from July? Volatility in July didn't start climbing until the week of 7/25, so she just had perfect timing for the most volatile month of the year? Fishy. I think they just excluded that month...

Good discussion. In my opinion, we may see some good years for IC's, similar to 2003-2006 after the collapse a couple years prior; that said, how would any of those strategies done in '07-'08? Or, is it just to turn a blind eye to that risk? The one thing that caught my eye: "She aims to...

I've seen a guy in a local prop shop use 3rd derivative's to hedge MACD crossover's, didn't see his pnl but said he was pulling in $10k a week in NYSE listed names. He also said he prefers Dos Equis.

lol, his kids names are Reven Wood and Alex Wasilewski.

Wow Dustin, blast from the past p/l. Hope lescor and red ink are still killing it. And we all thought ET was dead. Well, maybe it is, but the dream lives on.....

Yes they're legal, only thing we're missing are CFD's.

nevermind, found the products.

Input positions on output analysis manually (sim), execute on IB for cheaper costs.

Forget the jump/gap, you'll lose on whipsaw on the delta hedge.

Hit .300 you'll always have a job. Guys that hit 35 jacks but low average/inconsistent, go team to team, you hear their name on Sportscenter and the universal reaction is "that guy is still in the big leagues?" If you can perform like Barry, they will assume you are on steroids (analogous...

Where do you trade then? Last I checked TOS wasn't that much better on commish.

Jesus.....Dolphins & Marlins fan here, f you!!!!! :D :D :D

Probably need to form a support group in case volatility picks up this summer. I'm in, will bring vienna crackers for the first meeting :)

Yeah you gotta watch CNBC World for evening/early morning futures/fx, switch over to regular CNBC at 4am for worldwide exchange. Or, just stay on bloomberg all night.

Pretty sure that's what the user 'fullautotrading' does in futures. Read his posts. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/search.php?s=&action=showresults&searchid=4063482
