    LLC vs Sole Prop?

    What happens when your client sued and names both you individually and the LLC on the suit? Who’s paying the lawyer to get your name off the case? Who’s paying to argue that the corporate veil should not be pierced?

    Interest rate(guaranteed return), ROI rate of investment in market for 1Mio ?

    Good luck. Maybe DeFi stuff but definitely not without it’s own risks.

    Anyone submit combo option limit orders after market hours?

    I would be careful with setting a 1.50 limit and going for a 2.50 fill at open. Liquidity can be pretty thin and spreads wide at open, so you’re more likely to sit on the book until someone realizes you set too good a price.

    IV from ThinkOrSwim vs. IBKR

    Stock IV is a combination of a lot of factors. How many expirations? How many strikes? Which price—Bid? Ask? Midpoint? Last trade? What risk free interest rate? Which dividend rate? Which options pricing model? If you can answer all those you will know where the difference comes from.

    Why is a thinly traded bid/ask on a stock not showing up at other brokers or the general market??

    I will admit I don’t know much about this arena, but I do know you can choose specific routes for a fee when placing orders in IBKR. You can also see if their SmartRouting (for Pro) fits your needs. OP is trying to place a non-marketable limit order on the book between the spread to allow...

    Why is a thinly traded bid/ask on a stock not showing up at other brokers or the general market??

    I have noticed this too and it drives me crazy. You probably want to use something like IBKR Pro (not Lite/commission free) to route to exchanges. Or look for a broker that advertises direct market access. You can look for Rule 606 and 607 disclosures to see what percentage of order flow is sold.

    Any benefit to trading futures in IRA?

    What happens in an IRA if you’re on the wrong side of a gap up or down and end up owing the broker in excess of your equity? AFAIK you can’t personally guarantee a loan for an IRA.

    Retail broker that can trade HTZGQ

    Thanks, that makes sense. Is there somewhere I can see a list of position closing only option contracts? Are market makers allowed to facilitate these trades?

    Hi all, I want to make some trades in HTZGQ, but all the retail brokers I've tried have that symbol as position closing only. Are there retail class brokers that can trade in HTZGQ and similar modified contracts? Thanks!

    Options trading close to expiry

    If up to an hour or so before close is OK then Tradier will work. And it appears that Robinhood just added same day options.
