You are dedicated to trade from Sydney. I will keep your offer in mind. I have had some other expressions of interest too. I use IB, although my trading is done on another integrated system
Buying long options by themselves is just to keep someone from having to place a stop loss either because a person's stop loss placement techniques are poor or because there is a concern that their stop loss will be blown through. It's a way for someone to feel comfortable even though wildly overextended. About 80 percent of long options expire worthless.
I trade currencies, if that's your fancy. Custom built AI algorithmic system, thousands of hours worth of work and research. If you put down the money, i'll work purely on profit split.
