As in a pairs trade? Type the pair into the chart box -- ie "/ES-/NQ" or "SPY-QQQQ" with the symbol you're buying as the first symbol and the...
It will open where it opens and we shall all trade it accordingly. This moment of trading zen brought to you by me. :)
I saw an email (posted elsewhere) dated in April 2011 that discussed 'possible' S&P downgrade, citing pretty much the same reasons that were...
I think if you don't need tick-by-tick entries on futs (ie swing trading) you could be fine at TDOS / TDA / whatever. However, if you're scalping...
The segregated-account thing is only temporary, we're being told. TD is not a FCM yet and as such futures are still cleared thru Penson. They...
No, I did not see Europe closed. I'm not trading this week and as such don't have all my stuff loaded or am checking all the news I normally do....
Oh I am patient -- not actually trading this week anyway. With expiration, part of me wonders if we'll see a rocket to the upside so folks...
It's 1405 ET and only 1.3M /ES have moved thus far today. Compared to seeing that many move in the premarked in recent weeks, I wonder if the...

New client and site seems ok to me -- my positions are all there as they should be. I have no idea where they're posting the new futures margin...
TOS wasn't ever really know for futures trading, was it? I've had futures enabled on the account for years but have never traded them there,...
Longterm investing, you should be fine pretty much anywhere. I have long-term retirement accounts at 2 fullservice brokers where the only...
That would rock if they opened it up for futures trading. I suspect it's only for stocks though. Is it?
Le sigh. *moment of silence*
I've heard TOS is problematic for scalping futures. Not sure what you're trading though. I use TOS for equity/options/funds but not futures.
Yeah. Definitely spoke too soon. Heh.
Opened up my trading system at 0730ET and the /ES is flat. Not down (or up) major double-digits, with a generally smoother overnight session...
Yeah I don't get the /TF raise. Seems a bit out excessive compared to the others. But then again, it is the ICE, who only offers one data feed...
Oh. Since I'm not one to play the odds, so if an option is in the money, I presume it can be called/assigned at any time before expiration.
A good rule of thumb I was told early on: If your short put is in the money, you will get put the stock at expiration, dividend or no dividend....
