This is the good old strategy of spoofing and odd lots to get people out of the way so they can walk it up or down. Then they get the indications of interest from a dark pool and print the size order. Funny thing is you cant participate in this strategy to get the size because its off exchange...

curious to how your slippage is on these algos also are you trading liquid products?

I am assuming your fills at the bid/ask means you are adding liquidity. If that is true that is very unrealistic. At the very least assume you are getting filled at the mid point especially with some of these wider spreads. IB does have pretty good liquidity at mid points of the spread

thats a good question, I have never tried that with a marketable limit order only straight market orders. Will try that with a couple test orders

no a limit order is a limit order that posts to the market, now you can post bids and offers in the dark with IB but if you have real orders that you need to post when adding liquidity you might as well let everybody see it in the lit market. the main advantage of the internalized liquidity is...

You would think so but when trading with etrade or IB u have to remember that every time u use a market order you are using their inventory. So basically your execution happens in a dark pool, their own dark pool of internalized liquidity. Nobody else participates in this trade from the lit...

I find one of the best things about using etrade or TWS from IB is if you are trading small cap stocks that are very illiquid you can fire off market orders and get filled with price improvement and staying away from the hft guys. I have traded with lightspeed and takion which are great...

Agree totally on smart router for taking liquidity, it works great with IB you can get large fills with price improvement at that price without getting carved up by the hft guys. In this instance I don't mind my broker taking the other side against me just give me quality fills. IEX does help...

good point close the spread to your advantage will help mark to market

haha I am sure there are plenty of stories like that floating around problem is there is no sex appeal to it. Kind of like the way trading is nowadays. For me its been all about adjusting my holding periods. The good old days I could scalp 10 20 cents all day long and be totally engaged. Now...

surprised they never broke that trade but the reason they didnt was probably because the powers to be were ok with that execution. 100% guarantee if I was to get that fill on the sell side that trade would vanish!!! But to your topic point I have been saying for years that I can't participate in...

There is a different structure for each company. What we are trying to figure out is how much of a controlling interest did Naris have with Nevis. I am hearing like 20% only so this is what would complicate paying any Nonko victims back with Nevis funds.

Thats all fine and dandy and I am not trying to dispute any of that in regards to setting up the account and ongoing management of accounts. But that bank account in Thailand is not in Chris's name nor is he a beneficiary of that account in any way. That Thai bank is controlled by Naris, to what...
