The payout you receive is always $20. The only difference how much you pay for the contract. For example right now ES is 4075 and the proposed contracts are: I can pay $12.75 If I think ES will close below 4100, and if I am right, I will receive $20 Or I can pay $7.50 If I think ES will close...

One contract is worth $20 and I paid 0.12$ to open per contract and they charged $0.02/contract for closing for payout

Yes, I think CMEGroup is trying to simplify options trading for retail market and offer this kind of binary trading

Yesterday I also wanted to test after low was confirmed. I tried Event Contracts https://www.cmegroup.com/activetrader/event-contracts.html (available for trading in Interactive Brokers), and I bought contract "Will E-mini S&P 500 close above 4,025 on January 31, 2023? - YES" The payout was 8.7%

That's my understanding of the proposed reading.

Low during the first 18 bars 4031.48 and high was 4063.85. When one of these level breaks - the other will be considered low (or high) of the day.

Actually I think the rule was followed today. The way I read the rule is that by 11:00am (18 of 5min bar) the market defined either low or high of the day. I see on the chart that the low of the day was exactly at 10:55am and market never went lower during the day.

TOS gave me reduction from 0.65 to 0.5 I am going to try Tradier now. they offer 0.35+0.4 fees for SPX. will see how it works.

I am not sure I follow. Right now I pay only $0.65 for an SPXW option. After February 13, 2023 it will be $0.65+$0.52 = $1.17

Today I have received email from Schwab that they will increase SPX index fees... Beginning February 13, 2023, index option trades will be subject to index option fees (in addition to the standard $0.65 per-contract fee applicable to option trades). These...

Typically for strategies you want to use a specialized software. Brokers are not very good at tracking your adjustment and definitely will not show the proper P/L for the whole life of the trade.

futures or futures options? I do not think you will have problem filling futures, but as future options I do not have an experience with large orders

I have placed some trades in IB as emergency measurement, but it is not frequent. For pricing options I think TOS reflects current prices, but not greeks. For greeks you can look to TastyTrades - funny enough they show actually greeks (but not real SPX spot). For spot estimation you can find an...

I know only one broker that supports after hours SPX options - Interactive Brokers. I am told that liquidity is better during European trading hours, before that it could be hard to get decent fills.

if your all strikes are OTM, you can just enter 0 price for closing

I assumed futures statements are similar between providers, here is example of futures confirmation from TastyWorks

I do not know. Also when I tried to apply for Portfolio Margin in Schwab, I was told NO DAY TRADES are allowed in Portfolio Margin accounts. I have no idea why. I hope it will not be forced for TD accounts

Schwab allows trading futures at https://www.streetsmartcentral.com Message "Please be aware that the futures option spread order type is currently not supported" just says that Schwab platform does not support options spread on futures

this works for me declare lower; input length=30; plot AvgMe=ATR(length)/ Average(close, length);

Today seems is not a good day for this strategy. Even there is not much movement, the slow theta decay and IV increase does not allow to show much gain, and I am sure they will hold premium till 2pm.
