Thanks guys, I thought any broker that provides no-fee trading (Robinhood) does that because they are selling market orders to market makers, such as Virtu, etc... so there's no point of them selling limit orders unless they just "simulate" limit orders or pocket the rebate from an exchange.

I see that there are no fees/commissions for trading ETFs at IB? Can I trade IVE (S&P 500 Value Index) for free with LIMIT orders with a spread of 1 cent? That's like my wet dream... Is this even possible? or Does that apply only for market orders? If I can trade anything for free with Limit...

You have ebs from CME? Can you tell me the software platform you're using?

Hi Tommy, good question. I wrote my own LOB simulator engine that takes full depth order book data that I collected on BTC futures. It executes a trade only when the level is breached (current bid < limit order bid). It doesn't simulate order queuing but I validated this execution against real...

Ok, I think you may be right on this one :)

Thanks Sig, I see your point, you may right except of one thing. You're saying I'm "pushing my algo". My algo is not for sale, I have never pushed my algo onto anyone and don't plan to. I am simply here to meet like-minded people which there are none. Only people I see here are people who make...
