Of course you do not care about starting a journal, because that would require keeping a track record.

Posting a trade here and there allows you to cherry pick them.

Hi Luidin, thanks for sharing some of your trades.

Can I ask which broker you are using for these US option trades?

IB..or Interactive Brokers UK..they are about the best as the fees are cheap enough, and you can trade almost any market..

they are not great at sorting things out though..and the TWS charts lack some very basic stuff for daytrading..but you can link a good few 3rd parties via their API such as ninjatrader..and many more

if you are trading small size frequently..on US markets..well..hard to beat them..i am speaking about retail traders

there is a new European broker after setting up in the last few years with very low commissions..came across them in the past but will have to look up their name..not sure about their trading software though..as i did not try them out

Ib

Hi, Does IB allow options on the SPY? I've recently moved to the UK from Australia and I've maintained an account with OptionsHouse (Trademonster is the platform) as they allowed Australian account holders access to the US markets. I was with TDAmeritrade but they cut us loose a few years ago.

So I'm looking for a UK-based broker with reasonable fees that allows options on SPY - would you recommend IB?

Cheers

yes..only real bad thing about IB is their customer service..it is terrible if you want to try and get anything sorted quickly..other than that..hard to beat them for value and software..though the charts could be a lot better..but adequate non the less
