that link to broker discussion was not to elitetrader but to another site, but I suppose the mods are afraid of links to other forums where people actually discuss pros and cons of different FX brokers.

yeah you can do 2*/ES-3*/NQ, for example

I read on a property derivatives site some time ago that there is an Australian house index, any of you guys familiar with it? Can you trade it on exchange or OTC?

equities side, it seems like a noble attempt but there's no volume, FXE has the most liquidity if you only trade euro. fxoptions.com is the ISE listings marketing website. futures, again 6E has the most liquidity. best bet is otc, if you are in the US retail only current option is alpari...

IIRC it was a patent issue with TT or some other platform provider who claimed the mechanism of one-click DOM orders. Do a Search there was a lengthy thread about it.

oanda broker discussion: Elitetrader.com Keep in mind you will find horror stories for every broker.

fastest 'protection' to do is even up deltas in the underlying, reevaluate from there.

Click Help tab, click 'thinkdesktop user manual'

download thinkorswim's papermoney platform, will answer all your questions once you play around with it.

Anything's possible with a hypothetical hedging model. Can they do it live though? Is that what they did in '08?

I don't think anyone could trade long, directional, intraday if they were to tolerate a -20% gap in ES, NQ, TF. A literal gap, no liquidity. Spreaded maybe but not 1 instrument.

Hey Wallace, was spot EUR/USD 'orderly' immediately after the Twin Towers attack? Dunno if there's any chart provider with 5m intraday charts that far back...for free anyway.

alpari fx options, white label fx bridge. high margins, sure, don't think you'll find them discounted in the US anymore unless your are institutional. vcapFX's site says they support, but I've never had dialogue with them

dunno if this has been mentioned because I didn't read all this shit but thinkorswim has a simple way to understand increase/decrease in vola, go to Analysis -->Risk Profile-->plot lines --> Vol Step--> +1 Vol Step. in the next box change step to +/- percentages. The red line will plot...

AFAIK, Alpari FX Options, is the only regulated retail otc fx option platform in the states. Though if I'm not mistaken they have the same SPAN margins you'll find on exchange. I'm not sure who this is to comply with, CFTC or NFA? The minimal margin stuff I've seen has been closed...

I've seen margins on otc fx options for 6 figure premium's with only a couple hundred initial margin. But this is closed for US retail, unless you are an eligible participant (Dodd-Frank, cftc, etc.), i.e. $10 million. and there's counterparty risk, which I'd think you'd be wary of with that...

Dude, you are selling the protection. "hi, this is allstate, I need a quote on insurance..." You'll have to sell closer to the money and buy an even further wing, getting marginal premium.
