Hello, As I recently discovered, from 2021 Germany introduced draconian tax on derivatives trading, details here: https://winheller.com/blog/en/crypto-derivatives-futures-tax-germany/ I want to trade index option spreads, any recommendations? Delaware LLC? Some prop trading (which one)? Thanks.

100 euros an hour and we can talk. I'm programming mostly in Java for 20 years now. Have my own custom algos, trading via IB API, in Java.

Well, I described it clearly already. If you want to prove it yourself, go, open small account with IB, deposit 2K, go all in on TSLA weekly options on Tuesday/Wednesday or whatever else is moving fast. Watch for "Account" button go yellow, then your position(s) might be closed rapidly.

No, not 1 hour before expiry. As soon as their risk system spots "not enough margin" few days before expiration - they're closing positions when they please. I had this multiple times.

Option_Attack described things accurately, I have nothing to add.

If they do it only on expiration date - I'm completely fine with that. But IB's risk system starts complaining 3-4 days before expiry. Of course you can say: you need bigger account and smaller risk per trade, but that's out of scope of my question.

Hello, Can somebody recommend a broker (preferably with API), which doesn't forcefully close your long options positions (expiring same week) when they get in the money? Interactive Brokers is unfortunately exceptionally annoying for this one.

Hi, Did anybody work with GluonTS? https://github.com/awslabs/gluon-ts I created forecasting model with CNN using Keras, in Python, feeding it with few technical indicators from talib. Unfortunately accuracy is pretty low and results are not that encouraging so far, so thinking about switching...

I got IB account, would appreciate if you share it.

Hello, I'm looking for a small utility that would watch futures data stream and enter position at specified level with a stop. If stop gets triggered - set entry criteria again and wait. Or may be there's something already available in existing tools like ninja/multicharts, etc? Thx!

I'd rather test worst case scenario
