thank you all

Hi all Is there are firm or platform that can offer a paper trading account with $1m or more, for an unlimited amount of time? I have found vehicles like C2 are limited to 100k and online brokers like IB can allow (but with a pre-existing relationship) but only for a few months. Thanks J

I can't do much options trading with 50k$.

Hi I wish to join a prop trading firm with 50k$ of my own money that could be leveraged 10x1 so I can have 500k$ to trade. Anyone know of such a firm? J

Hi Is C2 still the best option to paper trade and get noticed? Or are there others J

Hi all I'm looking for a first loss program that will start you with 100k even maybe less, say 50k. Most programs I know have 300k minimums Also does anyone know of any firm, program, etc. that can let you trade on paper for a while and if succesful after a period of time give you access to...

What;s the best platform for putting on spreads? If I sell 50 strike price puts I want the platform to buy the same quantity of puts of a lower strike price at the same time for protection J

Hi Is there a trading platform that allows for allocation to 2 different accounts in real time? The ones I have explored have an "after the close" module where you manually allocate them, but I want a platform that does it automatically in real time thanks J

I just finished this for the regular Nasdaq Index. The top 7 falls expiration to expiration are as follows 1. April 2000 2. September 2001 3. October 2008 4. March 2001 5. November 2008 6. June 2002 7. August 2011

I am looking to demonstrate that this past options expiration cycle (August 2011) was the worst in the last 15 years. (down 16% NDQ from Monday 7/18 Open to Close Friday 08/19)

OK so I have now familiarized myself with R since I found no other way to do this, but I still can't figure out how to use quantmod to draw the chart I need? Help appreciated J

thanks. def too sophisticated for me...

Hi Anyone use successfully a system that sends you a text message if certain stock hits a certain price? I found one online but only tell you opening and closing prices. I want to be alerted if a stock reaches a certain price I found another system but they told me they had no more space...

Never found the Prime Options Calculator online... Thinkor swim is limited to a certain amount of capital OptionsLab wasnt very helpful I think Ive succesfully modeled it into excel, but for complex positions would like to have a place to compare... p.s. what are the requirements...

Let me use a numeric example Lets say you have sold Calls and Puts of SP 26, Puts of 27 and Calls of 25 The individual requirement are Calls 26 = $20,000 Puts 26 = $10,000 Puts 25 = $20,000 Puts 27 = $20,000 So the total requirement from Puts is $50,000 and the total requirement...

On this point, if I have both naked puts and calls of the same strike price, it makes sense to calculate the requirement of both and use whichever is greater But if you have multiple positions at different strike prices? According to the CBOE page, you can use the same rule as above for...

I am confused on the part of the calculation which is Option Value - Option Proceeds. According to calculations above, what should be taken into account is the market value of the option, i.e. the number of contracts times the market value for margin requirement purposes. However, the CBOE...
