    Nadex, how are spread contracts and binary options taxed?

    Anyone know? Spread contracts at nadex.com appear to be capped futures, does that mean they're eligible to be treated like futuers? What about binary options?

    Amibroker users - what about your data feed?

    What do you mean IQ is lagging and not ready for prime time? This is the first I've heard of this. Do you have any more evidence of this or is this a single case with this single exchange? Generally they have gotten very good reviews for the price. I have been happy with them. I would love to...

    What are some reasons to trade ETFs instead of futures?

    Just wanted to get some ideas about this, I know the two are very different and what advantages exist for intraday trading, whether it be short swings, scalping, or whatever. Differences in margin, etc? Thx.

    What instrument tracks gold and trades in volume during overnight?

    Ah that looks more like it. GC has much more overnight volume than ZG. Thanks. What is ZG? The emini gold?

    What instrument tracks gold and trades in volume during overnight?

    Thanks. Where is E7? I don't see that defined on CME. That looks like emini EuroFX, not gold.

    What instrument tracks gold and trades in volume during overnight?

    By the way I'm looking for something rather liquid. Looking at ZG at night doesn't seem that liquid, is there something that trades on a European exchange perhaps that tracks spot gold and is more liquid?

    What instrument tracks gold and trades in volume during overnight?

    Are those the symbols for the electronic sessions because I see 3 gold future contracts on NYMEX and none of them are those symbols.

    Question about order types on CME

    Ah yeah sorry, I should have been more specific. Futures only. Surely with options they'd have to support that at the exchange otherwise those option strategies wouldn't be possible. In fact I think certain option strategies have their own product codes, not sure about that at CME. So with...

    Question about order types on CME

    Not sure what IB has to do with this. Isn't it the systems at the exchange that decide this? CME would have this ability no? (or not have it, as the case may be). Also you said these two products are unrelated. Can you give me an example of two products that are related that you could do this...

    Question about order types on CME

    Can I submit an order to buy n contracts (say n is a low number for simplicity) of front month corn futures and also to buy n contracts of front month wheat futures so that they are either both filled or neither filled?

    How are options on commodities and FX taxed?

    Wondering if they are covered under the same rules that tax futures (1256, mark to market, no wash rule), or if they are somehow different? Does it matter what kind of option it is? (vanilla, exotic[binaries]), etc?

    Is IBFX (InterBankFX) a real ECN like IB IDEALPRO and HotSpotFX?

    Thought so as well, just that I thought I saw somewhere that they claimed ECN-ness. Could be wrong. And yeah I too was befuddled with all the responses about IB-IDEALPRO.. Probably confused the issue though by having that in the subject.

    Is IBFX (InterBankFX) a real ECN like IB IDEALPRO and HotSpotFX?

    Seems as if they claim to be on their site, unless I'm misreading it. Can anyone verify? Anyone have good/bad experiences with them?

    Anyone trade with Zaner, any issues?

    They seem to have good selection of exchanges, and a no frills approach. Anything I should be concerned about?

    Zen Fire API

    Not sure I understand. Zen API is available, I asked about Transact's API and they said volume had to be pretty high to get access. How exactly is this different from Zen's policy?

    Zen Fire API

    Is ZenFire filtered? If not, what advantage is there to using TransAct's API (which is a beta) over ZenFire?
