If the company is private, the person can sell his shares back to the company usually. Alternatively, if it's a big company, he can make second-order trades, possibly going short on the business partners of the company. If the company is public, it's pretty easy to do an insider trade. The...

Are you asking for advice, or what might hypothetically happen?

Wouldn't FoK or AoN orders work around this issue? In the video he quotes the order being routed to the exchange with the least depth. If the order was routed to the exchange with the most depth, it would seem possible to avoid giving enough time for the MM's to change the price.

The awards ceremonies like the Golden Globes are super important for Netflix, but it's not obvious at first. Producers, Directors, Actors, Writers, etc. are all somewhat skeptical of working with Netflix, since the awards are what drives their careers. If TV show gets watched by millions...

Yeah... You can tell someone they're stupid, or you can let them, realize it. If you just tell them, they will get defensive and not learn. Losing money is a great way to learn, but it doesn't work when people don't realize they left money on the table. True, but we all have to start...

This is especially true due to Robinhood traders. A newbie investor friend of mine bragged that he executed his GME call two weeks ago, well before the actual expiration. I don't know of a good "early assignment" indicator, but my guess is that it would be blaring loudly for GME vs. other...

StackOverflow is the place to ask questions like these.

Like I said, I mostly agree with you, I just don't think it will have the effect you want. More transparency is better IMO.

This is this whole idea of fractional reserve banking. Money can be multiplied out by lending it out, and then borrowing up. It would be the same with lending shares. As long as brokers abide by the margin requirements from the Fed, they can lend the shares to the next broker over, which...

You wrote the entirety of that repo without hitting save until the end?! What I mean is that it looks like there was a lot more changes going on, this is just a copy paste of the source itself, no history. For example, I see a lot of similarities in your code to mine, I'm wondering if we...

I think you are agreeing with me? I think we are both saying Robinhood was under no pressure due to OP's premise, which is that the long shares could not be sold.

Thanks for posting, I'll look through it more thoroughly later. If you are interested in feedback, I can provide some. It also would have been cool to see the full commit history, to see the progression.

I don't thinks this reads. From what I can tell, the Robinhood users are overwhelmingly long, and don't really have short-sold shares. How could Robinhood be stuck unable to let customers sell, when there aren't traders who have been lent the shares? (I think the idea is reasonable for...

My quick take: I too am looking for someone with the math and finance background; I have the software engineering background. I guarantee you run code I wrote hundreds if not thousands of times a day (as in literally today). My code is reliable and malleable. For this service, I expect to...

I generally agree with your post, but I am having trouble understanding how you came to this conclusion. If the short interest was published EOD, how would the market be able to react to that? I could foresee some big player go short hunting, pumping the price up until the shorting party...

I had the same question, but after reading more, I don't think they will sell more shares. The GME saga started with Michael Burry telling Game Stop management to buyback shares in 2019. Game Stop bought a lot back, raising the price (which his fund owned), after which he began to cash out...

Not to belabor this, but The broker doesn't take on a loss for closing out my position. The trader takes on the risk. I assume the margin requirements act as buffer to protect the broker, and that they would apply equally to options and Futures.

I have a few servers at home, so I would probably use those. I didn't realize people were running windows on VPS's though, thanks for the tip. I probably also should have mentioned this too, but I am in a position to automate my trading with a computer, so I can leave a program running in...

For the people here who have bought options data going back X number of years, is it worth it? Did the insights or strategies you found using this data end up being worth the price? It's hard to tell which sites selling this data are legit, and which are fake. It's also hard to...

Is the code open sourced?
