I’m sorry he died so young. I’m not that familiar with the Chicago traders. Interesting you described him as the “largest” Option trader, not the most profitable. At his peak, how much AUM was he managing and was his forte options on what futures?
 
Largest volume

as far as aum have no clue / he owed his own bank and his widow #11 is worth 18B that is disclosed. note: cuban #26

we traded the largest cap stocks in all the option-able indexes for decades and all major future products.

traded outright 30yr and sp futures using ndr technalyzer platform automated cept for order execution run thru mercury trading.

Yes, tick-by-tick, timestamped to the nanosecond.

I’m building in Python a project and would like to have everything handled in Python including the data pull. Exchange fees paid separately right? Can you shoot me a quote for ES.
 
There was a saying on the AMEX floor, "whoever dies with the most toys wins". I do not live by that. Your friend passed away rich at 62, that is horrible. I do not want other traders here to feel like they need to trade large to do well. Make money every week and every month. Have fun when not trading. Sometimes doing well is better than the biggest and the best. Life is not about collecting the most. Stay fit, make money, have fun- you win.
