InTheZone, Great point about the SPY options...guess I didn't check if they existed. So the natural substitute would be options on the $SPX....
You can buy 500 SPY per 1 Emini, or 10 SPY option contracts per mini (since delta=.5)...or any of the things you mentioned above.
How true! Get rid of the sugar...go on Atkins or something. It proabably won't last, but if you do it for two months you'll take off the...
Check out Dynaorder: http://www.dynaorder.com/ Looks like they can hook the two up...
I don't use WL or IB, but I've been told that this is possible. You can trade automatically from WL through IB.
Steve, I think you just happened to snag them at a bad time...as was mentioned they are transitioning from LW to RJ O'brien. I have been using...
Like ArchAngel said, depending on your needs one may be more suitable than the other. That being said, I have both and do most of my work in...

Uh..that would be me. Short that is (not net debit). Fortunately I'm a swing trader so a 5 pt swing wouldn't be too unusual for me. Just went...
TS&IB - Only reg-T: 2:1 overnight, 4:1 intraday. I'm not sure which prop firms would take $5k min. I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but...
Optijose, I've read his book and traded his style for about 6 months. It works well when there is a persistent trend, but you get chopped up...
Just notified of CME halt of Globex (notified by my broker Tradestation)on May 1st, anyone have any info?
sptraderj, I asked the same question. Here's the response I got from Joe Nikolson, the COO.
