    Somehow I missed this post. For like the umpteenth time, I clear through a small clearing firm called ABN Amro. Perhaps you have heard of them. V-Trader, is the LLC I have my account at. V-Trader does not clear anybody. They do back traders on the floor of the pcos though. My god, it's like talking to a child here. Are we clear on this now?

  5. I had a pretty brutal day myself capping off an ugly month. But this is not making me feel better at all. Hey, I know what might help. Spec, could you please post some porn? Anything, that is, except the one with Longshot, Jacko and the Boy Scout troop of Alameda. Thanks.

  6. Since you could'nt keep your hands free from the kbd...

    Market making in equity options assumes locals, or electronic exch. members, such as guys who MM thry ISE, not prop-firms, that's the point, NOT who V-Trader clears! Man, you're a dim bulb, dude, now V-Trader is a market maker?

  7. Yes, I did, left the bond pit to practice medicine, Oncology/Surgical Oncology. Why, may I ask, are you no longer trading on the floor? I ask, because of all these local-relationships you make reference to(AMEX crowd, et al).

    You're in your mid-20's, trading for V-trader upstairs, a prop-firm with a risk-based haircut, correct? Why, pray-tell do you leave the floor, tired of making money??

    Man this is going over your head. Pointless to continue. If you decided you wanted to trade on the floor of the CBOE, and I wanted to back you in the form of maverick74, LLC, I would not clear your trades. I would have Sage or Pax clear your trades. I would only be financially backing you. I'm done now.

  10. As am I(done now)... V-Trader is not a market maker, that's the point, not who V-Trader clears.
