it seems this stock is heavily correlated to crypto prices. BTC rally likely pushing up HOOD price

I think there may be other positions that are blended into the OP's account. When I shorted with IB the cash proceeds was reserved and unavailable while the short was on. The profits for the position were netted against other profits so I could actually withdraw more overall, if that makes sense...

number of years trading under the same corporate name. Scam brokerages change names a lot (co name red'g in the last 12 months is a massive red flag)

I am looking for alternatives to Quantlib. It is a great library but a bit of overkill for what I actually need - just pricing vanila options (with closed form and binomial/trinomial tree), interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps. I also don't like the SWIG wrappers of Quantlib and prefer...
