any guy tried SSF

If commodity people such as SSF advocators do not help to defend the agression of PDT margin rules on the line of stock options, they are going to come after you guys sooner or later. By then, it will be too late to cry for lower margin leverage and number of day trades allowed.

JMHO.

I think they will provide volume tomm or monday ( NQLX) for
today ... I am curious if I did a good portion of the volume in
the SSF for "GM" today ( 2 RT / one was an error , scratched
with myself )

Volume of QQQ front month (DEC.) SSF is merely 390 so far"

 

Volume column in IB shows volume

 

I did almost 10 % of the GM Volume in NQLX today

maybe 20 % if they double counted

I checked all of the SSF today and Microsoft seemed to have the most volume and tightest spread, from 1 to 10 cents. Hopefully the volume will pick up and the spread will be smaller soon. I'm just starting with a small account under 25K which is subject to daytrading rules. With the SSF I could trade as small as 1 contract of 100 shares for $1 with Interactive Brokers.

 

INTC started with a 10 cent spread, and it looked like it ended up with a 3 or 4 cent spread later in the day.
