Definitely nothing wrong with paying for mentoring or teaching a system. ... but even if their system makes money for the teacher, make sure their system fits with your personality/lifestyle, otherwise you won't make a cent

I think you are much better off coming up with your own plan/setups. You are much more likely to stick to it rather than if you have copied off someone else.

Live training every day with lectures and the why of a trade, is very different to a straight signal service. That's why I mentioned mentoring

The ICE europe financials exchange fee to get live ftse option prices is $110 a month

Sorry I mistyped it's about £120 a month on IB and I really hate that platform. In fact I have no need for online trading. All the best, good people.

Thanks for posting the link. Yes, I show a real trade every Saturday using Friday's closing prices and for education purposes will run to expiry but sometimes close out within the expiry cycle. I have no ambition to take money off people for this education. It's not a scam, trading is hard enough.

I don't know about backtesting, but thinkScript is good for getting and manipulating IV with scripts and algorithms.

For the avoidance of doubt, what I stated is fact. I have been trading UK options since 1999. I cannot hold stocks in my account, it's purely options. The ONLY free options data we get is 15 mins delayed.(weirdly they quote prices at the open ).
I have to phone in my orders. There is only IB to trade strategies online for UK options and the cost of their frankly lousy live data is about £10 a month. I place 30-40 trades a year, use limit orders as I trade near month- 6 months hence. And yes my broker's name begins withan 'A'. Saxo bank have an ok platform, basic and functional.

Yes, naturally, after you completed those first 10000 hours, expensive hours ....

THEY ARE 15 MINUTES DELAYED!!!!!!

THEY ARE 15 MINUTES DELAYED!!!!!!

They used to be 15 minute delayed when provided by Euronext/Liffe,
but are now provided in Real Time by ICE Exchange

Like you, I have only traded FTSE Options for the last 20 years, and have built a system to import the data from the ICE Exchange, so I might just have an inkling on whether data is Delayed or Real-Time

I can illustrate that Real-Time if you still disagree;

- Market Opens at 8:01AM
- Just check at 8:02AM any Morning
- If showing just Settlement Prices then Prices are delayed
- If showing Bid-Ask for Market Prices then Real Time

Feel free to check this on Monday :-}}
