Only the front month really trades in the currencies futures.

Cool story bro, but I never mentioned anything about saving money. The value add here (in my case) is not having to maintain my own infrastructure, disaster recovery, and backups (to an extent, also using dropbox), etc. But still, $300-500 a year sounds like a fair deal to me for what you could...

Thanks dividend. The whole enterprise thing makes sense. I read about a partnership with Nvidia Google and VMware for 'high performance' desktops. I didnt see anything about Windows but the concept makes sense. I imagine there are a population of people that would rather not deal with...

No need to be sensational. I understand the pro's and con's of cloud computing. I am simply looking to see if any traders here utilize cloud desktops for trading purposes, and if so any one using multi-monitor setups.

Actually, most paid cloud services have listed SLA's of 99.95-99.999% uptime because they can eliminate single points of failure. My home internet connection on the other hand is hardly reliable. Nor do I scalp intraday so getting out of a 'bad trade' is not really an issue for me.

I am looking for a service that offers a cloud desktop that supports multi-display. I have read of in-house solutions that make use of PCoIP and zero clients for organizations, but I am looking for a similar service that caters to individuals on a subscription basis. I have found plenty of cloud...

Thank you for this update, this is exactly what I was hoping for. Being able to drag the PD curve left/right is a major boost to productivity.

The link you included has a clickbank affiliate link attached to it. Didn't know if you were aware of that. Btw, I don't care for these shady web products/services/ebooks. They are all formatted in a similar way that remind of those 'one weird trick to loose belly fat' products. Ugh...

def, Great start. If I could build my custom PD curves faster that would be great. One idea would be to draw by dragging across the x axis, or some other mechanism to recenter or shift the PD, rather than adjusting each individual strike bar.

Do you seriously not know if a rebate was passed on to you? I imagine it would be in the trade window. But I don't use the software and you do. Why don't you post a screenshot of the trade and maybe somebody can help you figure it out.

That is correct, given the premium is >= .10. But you also need to account for the exchange rebate credits/fees. This was my concern about the wording on LiveVolX pricing page about passing on liquidity rebates "at [their] sole discretion". BATS for example: Penny Pilot: remove liquidity...

I see no reason I should be happy when I hit the cancel order button and I get filled instead. I'm not necessarily disappointed with IB, just the way the MM algorithms wait until my order is completely in their favor, even if I am well past the mark.

Amen brother. I am with IB and I've experienced some "interesting" micro market behavior. There are times I am adding liquidity to the book and my bid is nearing the offer price. I am even calculating the pegged underlying price/IV in Excel in real-time. I am way above the mark. It should...

Looks interesting. Ferry, have you executed any complex orders (2-legs)? I am interested in the execution. Can you talk a little bit on that? One issue that concerns me is the way they handle exchange rebates. On there website it reads: "All rebates received by LVS are paid to LVS customers...

I have been using IB's order type "rel + market" combo order with some success at getting executed at or around the mid point of the combo bid/ask spread. But it is not without its frustration. It could take a few hours to get executed on some instruments and more recently, the trade is executed...

Hi et_user, I'm using TradeLog and IB and the discrepancy amount roughly equals the amount IB classifies as non-covered in the 1099b form. How do you classify an entry in tradelog so that it not included in the covered amount?

I trade from home in the East bay as well. Also from my other home in the Greater Sacto area.

Asynchronous threading? Some strategies seek out liquidity like you say, which requires looking deeper than the NBBO. Typically its hard to filter out noise like that since broker API's expose events that fire whenever there is ANY change to the books, be it price or volume listed. So the...

There is a footnote to that... The removal rate on EDGA is contingent on the attributed MPID adding (including hidden) and/or routing a minimum average daily share volume, measured monthly, of 50,000* shares on EDGA. Any attributed MPID not meeting the aforementioned minimum will be charged...

I was on the wrong side of the 10am news. Stopped trading after that.
