Why do you prefer day trading SPX options on expiration day over day trading futures? Is that because of the limited risk you have in trading options (only premium could get lost)? With futures you could have a similar leverage and the spread is smaller.
Since a lot of you seem to be very experienced in trading this way i am still searching a good execution platform. I am with IB but had a lot of problems enter an option trade on Booktrader. Orders weren´t executed instantly, instead system told me suprisingly i should enter a limit price. This although i set up a button which should allow me to buy +0.05 above ask. So then i tried enter a trade on an option chart. This also didn´t work well because i got no intraday backfills on option charts for spx. Other options for stocks (AAPL, MSFT) show an intraday backfill. So i will try medvedtrader again, perhaps DAS Trader pro, which is expensive. What are your recommendations. I would really appreciate some. Thanks
I like TD. yeah you pay market rate but they’ll work with you after you develop patterns. Their software as a basic offering is top notch. Not annoying with their margin except in leveraged products there is very little , well run
Ib tws is the best. Not sure what exactly did you do. But it works great for me. Super fast execution. Particularly when I have 0 DTE bull put and bear call spreads.
