I hope Black Tiger Shrimp futures make a return. I miss them. Has been difficult to hedge my annual consumption.
@caroy I’m actually heavily short the FEB/JULY time spread in $BTS futures. very illiquid, which isn’t good since Shrimp need water to survive lol
I don’t look at features on trading platforms as “ways to make more money”. They are tools, that is all. what I meant was we will see these software companies keep updating and evolving their platforms (along with everything else in the tech sector) which will lead to a lot of innovative new trading tools and ways of analyzing markets. Now what could these new innovative tools be? I have no clue but don’t think we have hit a plateau for growth just yet, there’s still room for advancement. There’s this software for gaming called “Unreal Engine”, it gives PC gamers/developers a platform to create their own games and also to edit and alternate already existing games. I think something like this will be available for all traders relatively soon. A trading platform that lets you choose how the platform will look and work (total customization). This might even exist already who knows but I’m not aware of such a thing. This is just one example off the top. another example is the visualization of markets. There’s many ways to “see” numbers through time. I think dev’s will keep on creating new ways of measuring numerics and analyzing data etc etc.. for example, on tastyworks you can choose to have an option chain or you can choose the “curve” which is a distribution curve with strikes on the X axis. There will be more ways of choosing options in the future. I think trading platforms will allow you to customize their UI more too. For example one pet peeve of mine ever since I started trading options was the generic option chain. Look at any option chain and notice strike prices ASCEND from top to bottom. The top of the option chain has the lower price than the bottom. I’ve always wanted to flip this around because it’s counter to the way we think of pricing. Usually larger numbers are “higher” than lower ones in everything else in the world, but nooo not on option chains. also would like the option (no pun) or changing the calls and puts columns... putting puts on the left and calls on the right. now no, things like this won’t make me more money. It’s just little things that should be available to the users.
@.sigma, I agree on this - the good news is that IB's TWS already has this functionality. I can go from this : ...to this....simply by clicking on the 'Description' column....
On TW if you click the strike button on the table view for options it has an arrow. Pressing it flips the strikes to you can view them in either ascending or descending order.
Another product I’d like create would be a futures contract for the yield curve, with options available, the eventually an ETF yield curve with liquid options
I only use my laptop. If you have the screen open with option chains it works by just clicking the word strike that has an arrow next to it in the middle top. Can't comment on the Ipad app as I haven't used it. I sometimes check the prices on my Google pixel android app but don't see it in there.
