I'm almost never able to hold back, so I start a few days before the event. I like to have at least 25% of my size on the first trade, then I bid...
No. An example would be a one week calendar spread on a stock where earnings are Thursday (Week 1) after the close. I'm looking to buy week2 and...
I don't work for T3 but I would not call them a scam. I also think that using your last $5K is not a good idea. It's just not enough, IMO. And,...
What I do is use the back months to predict IVol after the event for each month and strike. Then model those values and see what my break even...
For a single trade, I would use Premium versus margin required.
$46/50=$0.92/option contract. That is high if you trade a lot of volume. The CBOE does NOT charge $0.75/contract for Apple options, they charge...

That was a lot and you made it very complicated. With AUM of $1mm, you can buy up to $2mm of SPY. If you account value drops to 25% of the of...
You can get that from OPRA for $500/month in raw data. You might need a co-located server to retrieve it.
If your trading equity is constant, use the notional value of that constant. Just say your allocation is $XXX and you never use more margin than...

Let's keep this simple. If you open the account in your name, you are responsible for all losses and the FCM can go after you. If you have an LLC,...
You only want to calculate your returns on margin used vs equity in the account? So an account with $100,000 equity but you are only using...
Try another broker.
Nothing is wrong, except I'm not familiar with foreign rules and tax issues. If you were in the USA, I would suggest an LLC with multiple capital...
