Interview with Tom Alexander | CQG News

General News

Summary

This interview is with Tom Alexander, who has nearly thirty years of experience in the markets and actively trades stocks, options, futures, and commodities. The public was very enamored with trading the OEX so the liquidity was excellent, and because this was before the market crash of 87, the options were very cheap and volatility was really low. A: I say that because what I would do is if I decided I wanted to risk $1,000 on an OEX trade, I would look at expirations that were out three or four weeks away and I would pick strikes that were as far away from the current index market price as possible. Now, there were periods where I would try another vendor thinking I would save money but the reality is, from a value and business perspective, CQG was infinitely more valuable to me. I can call customer support twenty-four-seven and have instant contact with a technical expert who will log on to my computer and walk me through and correct all issues, which are few and far between.
