paper trading natural gas options?

TOTAL ROOKIE HERE!

I setup a paper trading account at CBOE.com but I don't think it will be able to do what I am looking for.

I want to try to start paper trade hedging with calls and puts on natural gas. Should I be trying to do something with the NYMEX? If so, is there a website for this? If not, is there a procedure I can follow by hand to simulate the paper trading?

Also, is there a good website for education on this? (I've looked and looked).

Thanks in advance,
da

Weekly Option Premium and Earnings

Hello all,

I am attempting to perform a quant analysis on (weekly) stock options premiums around their earnings.

My question is in regards to how anyone here would go about adjusting the premium for options with more or less time to expire. Essentially, remove the time from the equation.

For example. Say it's Monday, the company earnings were out after close, and I was looking at the stocks option expiring Friday. The options would have a certain premium already for the time, plus the earning premium. Now if that stock was posting earnings on Thursday after the close (assuming underlying price and implied vol is exactly the same, etc) the option should have a slightly lower premium due to time.

So in the end. If I am analyzing multiple company earnings dates through out the week, how would any of you go about (mathematically) adjusting for the extra premium earlier in the week? I want to somehow give them all an equal playing field. I know we may not be able to get an exact formula. But I am hoping there may be a general rule of time premium decay from Friday close to Thursday close (day before expiry).

Hope I made sense.

TED Spread

I've been aware of the TED Spread trade for about two decades, but never traded it. I know some of the mechanics have changed, but one should be able to still make the same basic trade, essentially "betting" that the spread will widen. Can anyone walk me through the very specific mechanics of making that trade today?

Thanks!

Pyramiding Trades Intraday

Recently @Jason101 posted in a thread that a good way to maximize profits is to continually build a position during an uptrend over several days until the size is quite large relative to your account size.

http://ift.tt/2vhuWmF

I have never really given much thought to pyramiding trades until now since obviously getting in with maximum position size at the earliest point in the trade will maximize the profit potential assuming you get in at near the optimal point. The major flaw with this thinking though is that by doing this, you must set your stop very close to your entry early on, or you must accept very large drawdowns.

So the large entry into a trade early on makes two "common knowledge" money/trade management principles mutually exclusive: the principals of keeping your losses small (can't do that if you give your trade room to breath some) and giving your trade some breathing room (can't do that if you keep your losses small).

Up until now I have just accepted this and tried to find good entry points that would lead to overall higher % winners than losers. I have for the most part failed to find any way to discern with better than a 50/50 chance a good entry point vs a bad entry point. So I started thinking...maybe pyramiding similar to the way @Jason101 suggested can be an answer to this problem.

The basic idea being: start with a small position --> if the trade moves against you, enter once more at a better price --> if trade continues moving against you, exit for small loss. If however the trade moves in your direction, add to it on pullbacks or add to it when price has increased to a point that you have a reasonable profit and can take adverse movement with a larger sized trade.

Certainly not a revolutionary idea, but just something I haven't really given much thought to or investigated much.


I had a bit of time today, so tried my hand at it. I try to avoid discretionary trading like the plague, but I do it on occasion to try new things and see how I react to the new situations so that I can develop systems around them. About half my initial entries resulted in scratch trades or slight losses. The other half however led to excellent profit opportunities, as well as a handful of question.

The main one being --> when do you stop pyramiding? The obvious answer is to stop and exit when the trend breaks. But I am curious if anyone else does this style of trading, how do you decide when to stop? Every adverse movement represents a potential entry point. This trade illustrates a clear failure to capitalize on my large position size due to failing to exit when the trend broke, but it did make me realize the absurdly lucrative potential of doing this. Although my last entry wasn't necessarily bad (probably a bit to large really, but I wouldn't say "bad"), I definitely should have exited the trade faster.

Attachment 244126

Attachment 244128

Attachment 244130

In hindsight the position should have been closed completely at ~ $20.68 since the trend on the 5 minute chart was broken. I waited to long on my exits and closed at ~$20.59 and ~20.49. Still profitable overall, just a small fraction of the potential. But I was able to increase my position size to a fairly absurd (for me) number of shares of 1,500 with very little initial trade risk.

The other two that I took that worked fairly well:

Attachment 244132

Attachment 244134

Reason for closing --> I have learned to be extra vigilant as whole numbers approach. It seems a disproportionately large number of trends reverse or level off at these points. I don't have data backing this up, just an observation from the limited amount of discretionary trading I have done. It worked out for this trade.

Attachment 244136

Attachment 244138

Attachment 244140

Started scaling this one back as the whole number approached. I re-entered once it looked like it would trade through the whole number. I don't see any problems with this trade, just probably should have held at the whole number with a tighter stop rather than exiting and re-entering.


So, I am thinking it is time for me to develop an intraday scaling strategy. If I can have these results on a half-assed first attempt at it, surely there is something to it. Does anyone trade in a similar way, and do you have any suggestions? How do you determine when and how much to scale in? Do you scale out or close it all at once? Any suggestions on good times to stop scaling and/or start closing these trades are welcome. Or any other thoughts.

Trading Directly From Chart?

Hi,

My interest is day trading stocks. When I am going through my watch list and I see a trade I want to take, I want to be able to enter the order as quickly as possible. I am researching to see what the options are for trading directly from the stock chart.

I would like a solution where the buy, sell, and share quantity buttons are right on the chart. An added plus would be being able to see the open profit and loss for the position.

I use Interactive Brokers, so it would have to be a solution that integrates with them. Interactive Brokers does have a built in solution called Chart Trader. I have used it and I am fairly happy with it. I would just like to try any other solutions that might be available. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

spread betting with guaranteed stops

Hi everyone this is my first ever post on a forum and i would like to share my trading experience and ideas in the future but first would like to get some advise for the right brokers

Hi all, i am new to this forum but i have been a active FX trader for the last 9 years. I have mainly spread betted on fx pairs with IG index in UK. Over the last 12 months i have been using a really good feature with IG which is guaranteed stops. when i trade fx pairs, mainly USD/JPY or USD/CAD, the guaranteed stops have been as low as 5 points at least 90% of the time. This does change during news release. With guaranteed stops, I could trade £20 a point with just £118 margin requirement. I will break this down, £100 margin requirement is for guaranteed stoploss of 5 points at £20 a point and £18 for the 0.8 point premium only if my stop gets triggered,
Now using this method, combined with my trading strategy, i have always managed to pull in a minimum of £200 a day. This has now changed unfortunately, IG have still kept the guaranteed stop loss at 5 points but they have increased the margin requirement for the same trade from £120 to £1104. When i questioned them, they said this is new FCA rules and they don't want people to take big risks. I kindly explained its my money, i have a track record of successful trades so can you please change the margin requirements for me but they refused.
Now my question is, are there any other brokers out there who I can trade with using this format of tight guaranteed stop loss and a margin requirement that just covers my guaranteed stop loss?

Brewski's Leverage Abuse

Hello,

I thought I'd start a "turn £200 into £1 billion" trading journal because it seems so many people are making billions from £200 these days I'd be a fool not to! I don't have the time or money to commit to trading properly however I do love gambling, love the thrill of winning some big cash and will be incredibly greedy (all of which are fatal to profitable trading).

I don't do anything that any beginner trader wouldn't have thought of and probably done. Excessive risk, aggressive trading, massive swings in account value followed by inevitably blowing the whole account. Sometimes it won't take long, other times I can get a massive percentage increase first but it always ends in losing.

Great laugh though:thumbsup:

FX trade reporting software/system

Hello,

So i'm new to the FX domain, coming from equities, however, certain rules still do apply when it comes to bad characters when it comes to dealing with a particular platform or broker.

I'm presently looking for a good reporting software that is not cloud based nor platform related, so trading data can be loaded via HTML and processed. I tried using Quant Analyzer 4, which i found to be rich on options but has bugs that have to be resolved, plus it doesn't have daily P&L calculation. Anyhow, anyone came across any good performance reporting software/system that is decent that can be used that is not cloud based and not platform related?

Thank you.

I have been learning and practicing day trading stocks for about six months. So far I am just trading small positions while I continue to learn. I have had mixed results so far. I have been primarily learning strategies like Opening Range Breakout, and trading stocks that gap up or down.

I use Interactive Brokers, Thinkorswim for charting, and Trade Ideas for my scanner. I have been reading through the forums here and have found them very informative. I will be posting some questions, and answering any questions if I am able.

Does Anyone Here Trade Cryptocurrencies... Or Is that a dirty word?

Hi Folks!

New to T2W community... Just doing some recon before I put anyone/everyone's nose out of joint.

I'm very keen on discussing the cryptocurrency markets, on a technical and fundamental analysis basis, with traders that have a knowledge of the broader market.

Before I waste anyone's time I was just checking to see what the appetite for crypto trading was on this forum :?:

Trading screener similar to TC2000 (with PCF) for UK stocks?

Hi guys
good morning, hope you're all doing great

I was wondering if anyone could recommend to me a screener where I can screen stocks by programming my own conditions based on my setup patterns, rather than the standard ones you find on most scanners.

I'm looking for something like the PCF (Personal Criteria Formulas) option on TC2000. The problem is that TC2000 doesn't have UK stocks.

Any help will be greatly appreciated
Many Thanks

Anything like Esignal? (with better customer service)

Hi, i'm looking for a new charting service, (trading US stocks) Ive been using esignal, which i was happy with while everything was running smoothly, however when i struck a problem that required customer service they are nowhere, at least 15 unanswered emails, the same amount of phone calls, its a disgrace, they're driving me mental.
So does anyone know of a similar service that they could recommend, obviously I've done google searches, I've tried HGSI but i was to stupid for that, any recommendations appreciated

Incorrect volume

I am curious about what could cause the volume traded of a stock to be incorrect. Hoping someone could read below and advise.

Opening share price is 11 cents. It dropped to 10.5 cents on a volume of 38000. A few minutes later there was a bid of 3000 at 11 cents and ask of 38000 at 11.5 cents.
  1. I bought 33 shares at 11.5 cents which reflected in the volume although the share price remained at 10.5 cents. The volume increased from 38000 to 38033
  2. Then I bought 930 shares at 11.5 cents to see what happens, again no change in the share price as it remained at 10.5 cents but this time the volume didn't change. It remained at 38033.
  3. So I sold the 930 shares at 11 cents, again the share price still remained at 10.5 cents and the volume didn't change. I don't understand how the volume remained at 38033 when it should be at 39893.
  4. All this time, the bid and ask mentioned above did not change. So then about an hour later I bought the entire bid portion of 3000 for 11 cents. The volume now updated to 41033 and the share price changed to 11 cents.

I know the share price doesn't always reflect the last price shares traded at but I thought the volume should always reflect any buying and selling. This is weird. Can someone advise if this is normal where the volume can go missing and what could be causing it.

Annualized return with defined risk strategies(honest opinnion)

Hi all,

I have newly started to trade option and grown quite fond of iron condors and iron butterflies. I will start of with a small account with max. 5K to begin with, since that's most I can afford at this stage. I would like to know from more experienced option traders how much you can expect to make trading defined risk strategies and also your experience trading them.

Could I expect to make at least 60% / year allocating 50% to option and the rest for adjustments or am I way over my head thinking 60% / year is a realistic return giving the fact that I will start with a small account, trade with 50%, try to achieve a delta of 0.2, and holding the trade for at least 20- 40 days?

Let me know what you think:)

I've been trying to find a source where they provide gann swings, possibly with the swing size and duration marked on the chart without much luck.

Does anyone know of any site or software that has this functionality? Thanks in advance.

is walk forward testing always required?

the title is my question.

if the system uses pure, raw data and has fixed rules is there any value in walk forward testing? notice here that i am NOT saying backtesting, just walk forward testing.

the system could be like 'if the current day's high is lower than the previous day's high, buy the next morning long, sell 3 days later at the close'. there is no variable or parameter here. it seems like the walk forward test would give the same answer but with a lot more work. it seems like the backtest could be run over the entire time period all at once.

am i missing something here?

thanks,
david


is walk forward testing always required?

15-20% p.a challenge in US stocks

The concept

Trade long/short in very liquid US stocks.

Every day generate approx 0-10 trades.

Average holding period 10-15 days.

Risk per trade set at 4%.

Targeting a daily win ratio of 50% with a 2:1 reward/risk ratio.

Trades entered using days Volume weighted Average price (VWAP)

Trades closed also using VWAP

Aim

For each days trading to generate an average positive return of 0.06% to -0.8%.

Purpose

To demonstrate R/R is more important than win rate. Can make decent return even if wrong half the time.



Starting trade date 1 August


Comments welcome, thanks.

27th July 2017 - The US Treasuries yields reacted negatively to the FOMC's "relativel

Unanimously, the FOMC members have taken their decision to keep the Fed fund rate unchanged between 1% and 1.25% referring to relatively soon reduction of the Fed's balance sheet.
Nearly all of the markets pundits have seen in this signal paving for the decision of unwinding next meeting on Sep. 19-20 to be enact starting from the third quarter of this year
The Fed which refrained from giving a clearer message about its $4.5 trillion balance sheet has mentioned in its statement following last Jun. 15 meeting that it is currently expecting to begin implementing a balance sheet normalization program this year, as the economy evolves broadly as anticipated.

The unwinding plan will start by $10 billion a month cap "$6 billion from Treasuries and $4 billion from mortgage-backed securities", before rising every 3 months by this same scale, until the caps amount reach $30 billion of US treasuries and $20 billion of MBS.

The FOMC assured on the current low inflation pressure which made it in no rush to raise rates giving further boost to the labor market which did not aggregate enough wage inflationary pressure.
The FOMC has mentioned this time that it will be monitor closely the inflation developments.

After The FOMC underscored its appreciation of the current inflation pressure easing down in its released assessment following last June meeting, when it expected the inflation rate to continue to be in the short run below its 2% yearly inflation target, before stabilizing around this rate over the medium term as it targets.
Last June the committee expected the inflation rate to be at 1.6% this year down from 1.9% it's expected in March, but it kept its forecast for 2018 and 2019 at 2% yearly.
May US PCE broad figure and also core figure rose by only 1.4% year on year, while the Fed's target over the medium term is 2% yearly.
The PCE is the Fed's Favorite inflation barometer and it is to be released about June next Tuesday.
While the markets focusing will be next Friday on the release of Q2 GDP which is expected to show annualized growth by 2.6% after 1.4% expansion in the first quarter.
The FOMC expected last June 2.2% annualized GDP growth rate this year from 2.1% it expected in March.

UST 10YR yield retreated again below 2.30%, after rising last Tuesday to 2.35% level, as The US treasuries yields have reacted negatively to this new reference by the FOMC which pushed the greenback down across the broad raising the gold again above 1260$.
While Dow Jones and S&P 500 could keep their existence close to their all time highs, after higher than expected earnings reports of the second quarter and amid energy prices rebounding could be extended to the beginning of last June levels.
After deeper than expected falling of US EIA crude oil inventory in the week ending on Jul. 21 by 7.208m barrels to 498.142m suggesting that OPEC cut could start to take its toll on the inventories.


After the downside wave from $1296.16 engulfed the previous falling from $1292.76 to $1214.28, the gold could rebound from its higher low at $1204.85 which came above last Mar. 10 bottom at $1194.98.
The Gold could gather momentum to extend its creeping up to be traded now close to $1265, after getting over its daily SMA50, its daily SMA100 and daily SMA200, however it is still exposed to forming a lower high below $1296.16.
XAUUSD daily Parabolic SAR (step 0.02, maximum 0.2) is reading today $1236.92 in its 12th day of being below the trading rate.
XAUUSD daily RSI-14 is now referring to existence at a higher place inside its neutral area reading 63.941.
XAUUSD daily Stochastic Oscillator (5, 3, 3) which is more sensitive to the volatility is having now its main line in its overbought region at 82.636 leading to the upside its signal line which is in the same territory at 81.225.

Important levels: Daily SMA50 @ $1250.19, Daily SMA100 @ $1248.69 and Daily SMA200 @ $1229.92
S&R:
S1: $1204.85
S2: $1194.98
S3: $1180.75
R1: $1296.16
R2: $1337.31

best broker for MT4?

I recently started playing (in a demo account) with MT4.

What a great piece of software.

With IG, MT4 accounts have higher margin than their own web UI. Is this a general phenomenom, or does someone else offer a better deal? Having £300-400 frozen for every position at £1 a pip seems a bit hard.

Why do they do this, BTW?

Not able to calculate Stoch RSI and MACD

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum, but I follow it since a while.
I am working on an excel spreadsheet which updates automatically with the stock data of several companies.
Apart from that I am calculating some indicators such as RSI, SMAs, Stoch RSI and MACD.
I am having some issues when calculating Stoch RSI and MACD. I think I am using the right formulas, and I have compared the close and RSI values and they are right.

The formulas I am using are the following:

- Stoch RSI (14 days): (current RSI - Lowest RSI in 14 days) / (Highest RSI in 14 days - Lowest RSI in 14 days) * 100
- MACD: EMA 12 - EMA 26

To calculate the EMAs I use this formula:
- EMA x = (Current close - Previous EMA x)*(2/(x + 1)) + Previous EMA x

Here you are the link to the spreadsheet I am using to calculate this indicators for the stock BCBA:AGRO.
http://ift.tt/2tZn9pa

The Stoch RSI and MACD do not match to the values I see in other platforms such as Trading View.

Could you please help me to solve this issues?

Thanks in advance!

Hi I'm new :)

Hi guys,

I have a few questions that I need some answers too.

a) I’m worried that I’ll sign up to a dodgy website, what are some safe websites that I can use to invest in currencies, shares and commodities? Which is also connected to multiple stoke markets around the world.

b) I have been paper trading a while and 60% of my trading records are in the positive range. I need more trader friends and a friend to teach me more stuff about tradings.


Thanks everyone!

Alan

liquidity in Forex

Hello,

How much is too much to trade in the various Forex markets? In GBP/USD, in USD/JPY? How much is too much to move the market? From reading, it seems that Forex is the most liquid of all markets, but how much is too much to not get orders filled near the price of a market order? $1 million? $10 million? Any answers are appreciated.

Thanks.

Live (or almost) stock prices in Excel?

It should be the easiest thing in the world IMO, but in the years I've traded stocks and wanted to follow the value of my stocks, making graphs etc., getting the data into excel has been a pain. For years I used Data Connection function, had to set up each individual stock and it took forever to update. Later I used the MSN Money function where I can get all stock prices updated at once, I think 15 min delayed. And that worked fine (except my GM stock sometimes pulled the price for other stocks with similar initials/names) until mid July. They write.:"We are improving the way that stock quotes are delivered to MSN Money users. Unfortunately, this means we are no longer able to provide financial market information to you in this format.".

Funny how companies get PR people to create their messaging, calling a major annoyance/disruption an improvement. How stupid do they think we are?! Offending.

So...does anybody have a good solution for this? I'd like a sheet that clicking a button/macro in the sheet updates with all the latest stock prices (15 min delay is OK), and it has to be able to pull stock from both US, UK, GE and my country Denmark, e.g. Novo (Novo Nordisk A/S (NOVO-B.CO)).

So, in case you are making plans to go into to the forex market in 2015 or get over your losing entries and emerge as a winning dealer this 12 months you higher learn the fundamentals of chance management.

I understand it seems like you can get a millionaire in a day and probably you are making plans to shop for that yacht you noticed at the marina the other day. Well permit me deliver you again to the arena, the larger chance income possibility, the bigger the chance is concerned.

The worst mistake every trader makes is risking extra than his account could handle. So make a favour in your account and your coronary heart and start using the following position length calculation formulation:
Position size = (account length * percentage publicity)/# pips threat * pip price (10 = popular, 1 = mini, 0.1 = micro)

Stick with the placement size that your hazard management lets in and purpose to be consecutive, ultimately you will manipulate your loss and be consequently wonderful at the cease.

4. Small investment is not any investment

Particularly the fact that there are numerous brokers now which offers deposits as little as $5 with 1:one thousand leverage and so on and so forth, my recommendation for those of beginner investors is that make investments accurately, while you deposit whatever less than $1,000 you'll no longer be able to practice right chance management.

So make it part of your learning perspective, do not invest the money which you can not guide losing, control your greed and make certain to log your trading journal.

5. Selected the right Forex Signals Provider.

You could have the important information and skill set however if you grow to be with a incorrect Fx Signals Provider all your efforts can be misplaced, particularly the truth that there are too many Fx Signals Provider going bust these days you have to spend sufficient time to discover the proper Fx Signals Provider.

correction or reversal? what's your method?

I find this problem puzzles me ever since I started trading stock/etf a year ago. However, there are many people in the forum predict price action down to amazing precision.

how do you tell if a trend is about to go into reversal or it's simply a correction?
do you use multiple indicators for confirmation? what if some of them are pointing in a different direction than the rest?
do you weigh each indicator differently? base on what factors?

SmartVSA

HI, I was wondering if anyone had used Smart VSA? -- smartvsa.com

there don't seem to be too many reviews online, but there seem to be good testimonials on the website (not sure how much to read into them).

Any views would be helpful.

impulsive trades impulsivity

I am looking for guidance on what causes impulsive trades .

Impulsive trades are done by the automatic mind

http://ift.tt/2pWgMoW

There is an underlying layer of consciousness—call it the automatic mind—that processes information automatically without conscious awareness. We engage our automatic mind in virtually everything we do. While putting on a trade , for example, our conscious attention may be focused on what so-and-so said today while our automatic mind is fast at work continually calibrating the movements of our hands on the mouse . We shift seamlessly to conscious attention whenever the need arises ("Better get to the right. My exit is coming up."), but otherwise we execute thousands of discrete movements of hand with little if any direct awareness of them. Think about it: Are you aware of how many times you entered and exited trades without any reasons?

Research has shown, for example, that when people are tired, they have difficulty focusing their attention. As much as part of your conscious mind cares about sticking with your trading plan, your unconscious mind thinks, "Who cares? I want to take a break." Psychological resources are limited. When you push yourself to the limits, you will have trouble focusing on your ongoing experience, concentrating on your trading plan, and sticking to it.

Other people may be impulsive because they lack experience with the markets.
When you have an incomplete trading plan in which important aspects are left unclear, you will have trouble following it.

Impulsive traders tend to take action with less forethought than others at the point of entering the trade. It does not help even if they had thought through the trade the night before. This is because impulsiveness blinds or blocks out assessment and recall ability
