Just get rid of these useless Organizations.

I mean the range is huge so it can act as major support level. Thanks.

Is May 6 the ULTIMATE hammer for ES? Thanks.

By now I guess somedude is laughing at his/her screen in his/her TOS/OpEx/... office :cool: :cool:

Thanks, stoic. It is very helpful.

After reading your positions held in the account, it is shocking to know how IB actually liquidated positions due to miscaculated margin call. I hope you will get this issue resolved with IB very soon. It seems not a single person got a decent fill when his/her positions are...

Can you answer TRUE to this question? Were the vertical spreads your only positions besides cash in you account at that time? If yes, IB is very very wrong. You have a vaild case to have a refund. If not, check if the margin call was caused by the other positions. I think it most likely...

One of the most liquid futures options is ES on Globex. Try to make a makert on ES and hedge it with spy options and spy.....?

Put just one on, work through it and get the feel. Repeat it for a number of expiring cycles. Different person has different styles and different talents. Trading is not a one size fits all thing. The real answer will come from inside yourself.

The good news is "you can play market maker on futures options". The bad news is " there are not enough trades for you to make the market". If you really like to play as a market maker, how about openning two accounts so you can post bids in one account, post asks in other account? Have not...
