Thanks for the message! We’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

I placed two working orders in NADEX, I selected two strikes above the market for the Buy with a $10.00 working order and set a Sell two strikes below the market price for $90.00. The total risk is $20.00 ($10.00 from each side). The Buy filled and I set a WO for $30.00 which paid out. I have 5 hrs left to expiry. The other working Order has not filled. Should I let it sit , see if it fills? It’s risk is already covered. If it does fill, should I set a Take Profit or just let it run (since it’s a free trade)? Send Another

RISK DISCLOSURE: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE DISCLOSURE: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp difference between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot befully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
