After consultation directly with both ARCA and NASDAQ OMX, here are some facts. Neither one of these exchanges formally accept stop orders. Therefore, the answer to the key question is no. There would be no advantage. Stop order liability will never be the legal responsibility of...

zdreg, "...i guess you are scared that they are going to shoot you and your shadow...." Not really. The prop firm is the one to which to ask these questions. As mentioned here in the thread, I've done that and they can't answer them. Other prop firm owners and risk managers that...

Let me add to this.... It is my understanding that INET handles the NASDAQ stop orders. INET is part of the NASDAQ corporate entity. Therefore NASDAQ is the recipient of the stop order (thru INET) and not a 3rd party they contract with. If this is in error, advise. Thank you again...

1245, thank you again foryour reply. You said.... "....The only place to look for a stop that fails to execute or executes improperly is your broker...." OK. I guess I have hit a wall here...because I have asked this specific question here to the broker and they will not answer...

Thank you 1245, I understand that aspect of the general responsibility and that which a trader/investor agrees to in any arrangement. My question is more specific here. It is a legal question but one that an attorney need not be required to answer, only because that responsibility is...

This is a specific question as to what party would liable for a failure to enact a stop order. Here are two links that partly address this subject. I see that Don Bright is the author of the first one....perhaps he might instantly know the answers here...

Are there ECN fees associated with options trading?

My favorite strategy is not really a strategy but more of an 'approach'. It's straight up call buying...or put buying using deep in-the-money calls or puts on select underlying stocks/ETFs/indexes....using deltas north of .70. It sounds almost too simple. It is...and it isn't. And...

BearTrading, Does your 'end of summer' deal accommodate options traders? And would you consider your firm 'specializing' in options trading...or would you say that you accommodate option traders? No quant/greybox but swing/momentum trading. Thank you.

Me too. Am interested in knowing more about Chimera as well. What I am told is that there are no fees and no capital contribution required....unlike many of the others. That and you are doing live trading in short order. Do they let you do options? Manual/ swing trading? Or is...

....specifically, short term swing/momentum options trading that may include overnight plays in some circumstances...(as opposed to being only High Frequency Trading)? I am interesting in getting on board with a good prop firn in NYC. I am generally familiar with most of them in the city. But...
