Opt789, I replied before I read your post. I see, the reason is the delivery issue.

Maybe I should ask the question differently. Why don't the options and futures expiration match up? There must be a reason for why they are different. Thanks again

This is probably a dumb question. I normally trade the financial e-mini products, but I would like to trade Oil (CL). I notice that the CL options expire 5 days before the futures contract. How can this be? If one wishes to use options to hedge a futures contract, how can this be done for CL...

Why do you guys comment if you don't understand what happened? 1. Paid for subscription September 3 2. Cancelled subscription September 3 3. No complaints at this point 4. Charged for subscription December 3 5. No notification, just charged December 3 6. Complained to Hoi December 3 7...

I would assume you would have proof of the email warnings? I did not receive them. If I had, we would not be here. The key point is, if you renew a 6 month subscription, and later cancel, and it is renewed for another 6 months, you are screwed. Hoi will take your money. What would a...

I thought Hoi (Robert) was a good guy too. Why would I cancel again, if I thought I already cancelled? I cancelled back in September. I'm going to remember to cancel again? Do you spend all your time re-cancelling anything you ever cancelled? Don't believe me? Do what I did and see what...

Fraudulent Behavior Button Trader I have been a Button Trader user, but recently I have been swing trading and cancelled (I thought) my Button Trader subscription. I received an email from PayPal notifying me that another subscription payment had been sent to Button Trader. I immediately...

The market cannot achieve two days of back to back gains. Look at any index chart. It is down at a 45 degree angle. Any small rally is met with overwhelming selling. The end of everyday is all about selloffs. All the gains made from the rate cut are gone, with more damage done to the...

The tick has been consistently above -1000 which means there has been broad selling since the open. It has not been positive even once all day. This usually means a close below S1, and since we are all well below S1 on all the indexes, I would assume we get much worse, with selling increasing...

I am just trying to find out what happens when you rollover a futures position. You guys a confusing this: 1. Enter S&P long at 1500. 2. S&P goes down to 1490 3. The position is down 10 points. 4. You exit the position and lose 10 points With this: 1. Enter S&P long at 1500. 2...

Sorry, I don't mean for tax purposes. I mean actual dollars lost. You don't lose money on a trade unless you exit the position. I have not exited the trade, so I have not taken a loss. I'm trying to understand how rolling a contract works. Is it exiting and re-entering, or it it rolling...

I have never had to roll a futures contract before, but I made need to do this in December if the market does not recover. My broker is IB. The question I have is, if a futures contract is underwater, can I roll it forward to the next (March) contract without taking the loss December...

Big point is 100 Thanks ...

The answer was obvious once I thought about it. The multiplier is the big point value of the underlying. E-mini Dow 5 x options price E-mini Russell 10 x options price E-mini Nasdaq 20 x options price E-mini S&P 50 x options price E-mini Gold YG 10 x options price E-mini Euro...

Can anyone point to a location anywhere on the internet that provides the multiplier for futures options. I have been searching the net for this for 3 or 4 hours. I think these are the values, but some for instance list the S&P as 50, others as 12.50. This cannot be the mystery is seems...

How does one determine the multiplier for an option table? For instance, A October NQ mini 1990 put 31.50 What is the cost of this option? 10 x 31.50? 20 x 31.50? ??? For any futures option, where does one look to find what this multiplier is? Thanks ...

I think I got the notice a least 4 or 5 times, so they did send one out. TWS will blink a red title bar. If you have the window hidden you will miss it. ButtonTrader also makes a weird noise when there is a IB message to read. - TraderD

I have been trading with odds maker (The Trade Ideas add-on) for a couple of weeks and I have been pretty happy with it, though two weeks isn't really that much of a test. But, the systems have exceeded the backtested performance so far. I'm not anyway connected with them and this post is...

I've day traded for about 17 years. I think a key, though I hope this on no one, is to get absolutely pounded, and then get back up. I started tape reading, and did well, then I went on a string of about 35 winners in a row, and was up over $250,000 in one month. Then I lost $120,000 on 4...

All the RoR samples I have seen are always futures oriented absolute position sizing. I can't recall seeing a stock trading based example. I trade 2000 share lots as 1 position, but the share price can vary from $15 - $100, but position risk is the same. How would I account for that, to...
