What's wrong with trading via interactive brokers?

You might want to check out a guy called Tom Dante. I don't know him personally, but I follow him on twitter and he seems to be an ideal person for someone in your position to engage with.

A few questions! I don't trade single stock options or even indexes really. I do trade other futures options but not as a market maker. 1. Would you say you ran short gamma or long gamma more often? Did you lean short gamma when vol is high or not that simple? Where do you think you made most...

Many years ago I interviewed someone for a software job. I saw an interesting bit on his CV which more or less said he was head trader at a fund or words to that effect. A couple of questions revealed basically he traded for himself at home. I was NOT impressed. The last thing anyone wants is to...

Couldn't resist another update: wework as the amazon of coworking... http://uk.businessinsider.com/rainmaking-loft-is-shutting-down-in-london-because-of-wework-2017-10

Wework are expanding extremely fast. I think everyone must be a) terrified and b) trying to lock in the body supply during their peak launch window. Us&Co offering 1-month free at Monument/Tower Hill if you stay at least 1 month.
