Think Or Swim and Options on Futures?

[moonmist]

Quote from opt789:

A quote from Sosnoff this morning "options on futures are coming out right after backtesting. They are scheduled for late Feb/early March."

So it looks like at least a couple more months. Usually they keep pushing off deadlines as they approach, but they have been sticking with the Feb/March for awhile now so it would not surprise me if they have them before the end of March.

Today is March 3, 2008.

Any upadte/rumor regarding this issue ?

They're still holding to later this month for the options on futures. They just released a small update over the weekend that added more futures products as well as some options backtesting, etc.

....

input price = close;

input displace = 0;

input length = 20;

input Num_Dev_Dn = -2.0;
input Num_Dev_up = 2.0;

def stlin = reference linearregtrendline;

def sDev =
stdev(data = stlin[-displace], length = length);

plot midline = stlin;

plot LowerBand = MidLine + num_Dev_Dn * sDev;

plot UpperBand = MidLine + num_Dev_Up * sDev;

LowerBand.setDefaultColor(GetColor(0));
MidLine.setDefaultColor(GetColor(1));
UpperBand.setDefaultColor(GetColor(5));

I heard that ThinkOrSwim would offer options on futures next week.

Any rumor or update about this ?

Hopefully, there won't be any delay.:eek:

 

[opt789]

Correct.
We are supposed to get a software update this weekend and be able to trade them next week.

So Monday is the big day, eh? awesome!

 

[paden]

so software update yet

No update this weekend. It appears it will be pushed back again.
Not suprising since it is supposed to be a major update to also include non-third party auto-trading.

I received an E-mail from them on Friday: The schedule has been pushed back for one week. Since they have not decided on the commissions, I won't be surprised, if I get a similar E-mail next week.
