I'm guessing that's the higher priced version of LVX ($300/mth) and not the cheaper version by Lightspeed Trading?

It’s LVX through Lightspeed (I think it’s called Sterling Vol Trader now). I don’t pay any fee. I have LiveVol Pro for excel data, and for mentoring purposes. I’m aware of the redundancy, but I have an arrangement with them.

As far as I know, there is only one LVX, and we offer it today with custody at Interactive Brokers. We hope to offer it soon with custody at WEDBUSH SECURITIES. The LiveVolPro analytical program is owned by the CBOE and does not provide execution only Analytics. Shoot me an email if you’d like to try a demo.

That’s good to know. I was originally executing through LVX, clearing with IB. This got all messed up when LV spun off front end to Lightspeed, and sold analytics (LVP) to CBOE. I would much prefer revert to original arrangement.

So does this LVPro excel data ($100/mth) require LVX from Lightspeed?

Also does LVX have a decent excel data feed of it's own, or is the LVP excel data much more comprehensive?

Primary account is LVX, I also use TOS and IB. All my analytical tools are of my own design (Excel with LiveVol data). Screenshots are from LiveVol Pro. I’ll post some examples of my tools later today.

Adam,
Thank you for doing all this! I suppose that between TOS, LiveVol and IB you would have all the analytical tools that one might need-- so why the homegrown Execl?

In order to get LV data into Excel, you need the basic $100/mo service, and the plugin, I don’t recall the cost. You do not need LVX. Basically, LVX is LVP with execution. When Cboe bought LVP, they took the excel part too.

I do include LV excel in any of my spreadsheets for my clients.

All of my trades are found/modeled using my custom spreadsheets. I use LV to get the data into excel. And I use TOS for free charts/news. Keep in mind, I could build the spreadsheets using any other market data feed.

When trading fly's, is it more of a directional bet price wise or is it a bet on implied volatility? Or neither? Or both?
More...

I would describe them as vol trades, that lean slightly on delta. I prefer to take the least amount of deltas as I can, but it’s often inevitable when trading spreads as a market taker.

But, you need to have an opinion on price and/or vol in order to generate a trade.
