Compatibility with EasyLanguage was one of the key reasons I was interested. I hope your experience is an aberration. I'm looking forward to...
I'm not sure what you mean by "scaling in". If you're going to write options, it would seem writing them sooner rather than later is better for...
I guess I'm looking at trades from the underlying price-action instead of IV. Seems that the "cause" is the underlying price and the "effect" is...
It depends on your market view. I sold premium because I felt the market was too worried about coffee (and way overpricing the options). As soon...
I was thinking that the unlimited losses in the short side of the spread really cut into my gains. Well, sure. Selling anything on a move of...
NT real-time? You're a glutten for punishment, aren't you?

Had I my way, IB would have all the ags and meats TODAY. :-)
IB does not do floor-traded futures options (except a tiny subset).
That's not super. :-) Try RJ O'Brien (through Tradestation, or directly). I believe they have a $5k opening minimum, will do SPAN margining,...
Hi Jennie, If you plug in the IV, CBOE's calculator does return the proper option pricing, in my experience. Two possibilities: 1) If you're...
I'm not sure I understand this statement. DTN doesn't require you to learn C++ at all, but it does require you to have a small client running. The...
Who's your broker? What commissions are you paying on the floor options? What kind of margin are short corn options using?
You shouldn't have to do anything. If the option was exercised by the purchasor (which is possible if it was "just" out of the money), then you...
