Say that a SPY butterfly has a midpoint of 0.94. Would it be reasonable to ask for a 9.4 fill on the same butterfly on SPX at the same strikes...
Thank for the advice. Does this apply to only the negative marks or to all of the marks? Are the changes in the midpoints of the positive marks...
I couldn't find very much info on this online. The TOS demo, which is supposed to have a 20 minute delay feed, occasionally shows SPX spreads that...
Exaggeration, but they quote some negative midpoints fairly often.
They claim to have real market quotes but with a 20 minute delay. Some of the SPX spread midpoints, according to their platform, can be -1.00 or...
I figured that. I doubt I'd get filled on real butterflies for .00. Is that even possible? If it is, I'd just sit there all day buying them. I...
It's good advice, thanks. I don't think anyone owes me anything. If I want to day trade I have to wait till a spec house sells so I can plow in...

I'm a newbie and just stepped into the chaos of SPX trading on my TOS demo. I just increased both the normal and the IRA account (they give you 2...
I'm just running through all the normal strategies like most beginning traders in order to see their flaws/benefits. The only benefit to this...
Good for you. Since you have nothing to contribute to this particular thread, goodbye.
Vague, but helpful. Thanks.
I'm sure you invented your own strategy, right?
Got any suggestions?
Nice description, but I would think the person on the other side of the trade probably left it long before his position collapsed and parts of the...
