Oliver Velez? Caveat emptor! Binary options--weren't those banned, or was that just in other countries?

No backtesting though, Steve? That's a huge miss.

Wow!!! I'm just finding out about this. I used OV for years... For those considering backtesting, why are none of you mentioning the automated backtesters now on the market?

Do you also pay the $0.65/contract exchange fee?

Don't you have that backward? High gamma rent means theta (decay) is high and/or gamma is low, which is what the premium receiver (seller) wants.

IMO, it may be the case that backtested strategies I think look good are not since if actually profitable the masses would have exhausted the edge. I think it's far more likely that strategies I think look good in backtesting aren't actually good because I failed to include transaction fees.

I totally forgot about the continuous contract stuff when stitching together a futures chart. And what you say about drag totally makes sense. Do you know how I can view term structure on TOS? Your point about drag only exacerbates my misunderstanding, though. If you were to buy that 2-year...

So sorry to hear about all this, Tom! I hope the surgery is successful and that she makes a full recovery sometime soon.

I still get paper trade confirmations, but I wasn't getting these for futures trades. After inquiring, I got this response: > Unfortunately, we do not have the ability to actively mail statements for clients. Everything we do for > Futures is done electronically, which the client agreed to...

I have never traded a bond future and am trying to better understand what I'm looking at. A 20y chart of /ZT shows that on the last trading day of Nov 2020, I could buy a futures contract for 110 (and some ticks). If I held until this past Nov 30, which I'm guessing I could more or less do, I...

Are these on YT? I'm not seeing any there.

What do you mean by the warning sign, Marcas?

I agree with good prices as gimmick. As I continue to get burned time and time again, I slowly am tempted to believe more and more that entering a limit price at the mark with some offset is the best way to go. I've wondered about RW for a long time ever since the mysterious books by JL Lord...

I didn't know he had a library of trade journeys, but I agree in that I've seen a few spectacular presentations by him over the years where he has gone over "layering" trades. It made me want to buy the Layering course. However, I doubted whether or not it was repeatable. It's easy to take one...

Crickets?

I won't fall for boxcar in hypertext this time. :) Which Roundtable did you watch on this?

What is this? :)

I get that occasionally and usually within minutes I'm looking at an unrealized loss.

I don't really think that's an answer. Yes it depends on the market, but what does the market generally do? To me, that's asking for a large sample size. Do we have that? Do we trust that sample to be from a representative population? If not then we have no answer to this question. I've...

I like the Laurent Bernut response even better.
