It could either be a late print that your charting system plotted as a realtime trade. Or it could be a negotiated block trade, that could have either gone off through the NYSE or through another exchange or dark pool and the print was recorded at that time. Just because you see a print go off...

As I recall, Goldman didn't give a breakdown of all your Exchange and ECN fees. They just billed you a lump sum at the end of the month that accounted for all fees for that month. Unless they changed things in the past 2 or 3 years you are probably being billed for the NYSE fee in a lump...

China is a pretty big place. What city are you in? This will help determine if there are other firms near you.

Are you trying to open a branch in China?

I am not sure what you actually mean when you say you are a very active trader. But you might want to consider per share commissions instead of per trade. You should use excel and your past 2 months trade data to do some math to figure out what is the best deal for you. For per trade...

So UNLICENSED traders DON'T have to put up any deposit or pay any bullshit TRAINING FEE and the BD will eat all their losses and the unlicensed trader has NO RISK and gets a ton of Buying Power??

ProTrade Greg, You commissions are worse that Cobra Trading! $8.95 per trade or .005 per share with a $3.75 minimum ticket charge!

So you are saying that the SEC's Reg-T margin rules are all a scam!! And BD's can offer whatever leverage they want to!!! But all the BD's in the USA have colluded to only offer margin consistent with the fake SEC 1933 and 1934 act rules!!! Can a moderateor please kick this asshole...

When your neighbor loses his job it is a Recession. When you lose your job it is a Depression.

Efficient Executions has lower rates than IB, as I stated in my previous post.

If you trade stocks and you sweep your cash into a money market fund overnight you can't get PDT 4:1 margin the next day.

My understanding is that CY Group is setup the same as Tuco was. CY isn't a BD, but they accept deposits and give leverage on the deposit and they make money off of commissions. Those are the three main points that the SEC said they went after Tuco for. Your safest bet is to go with a firm...

I am pretty certain you are not going to find any broker that allows that. It is a disaster waiting to happen, especially with API and blackboxes. Sorry

What do you mean by this. Are you saying you want to have $100k in buying power in your account but be able to have open orders that equal more than $1 million?

You got to be joking! I recently switched brokers and I looked at Cobra before I did. Cobra has one of the highest commisions out there. $7.99 a trade (I can get that at Etrade) Or .004 per share (IB's highest rate of .0035 is lower than Cobra's lowest rate) The broker I am...

You misunderstood IB's commission structure. For 3 mllillion shares 300,000 @ .0035per share 2,700,000 @ .002per share ------------- 3,000,000 comes out to .00215per share Also remember there is a 70 cents minimum per order. So if you buy 100 shares, it doesn't cost .0035 per...

Flatiron isn't a broker, they are a Tuco style trading group. And they are an LLC that has an account through another LLC trading group who has an account with a BD. So they don't even have their own account at a BD, it is a sub-account of another trading LLC. Your money must really be safe in...

There was a broker that was an advertiser on ET called Efficient Executions, they had lower rates than IB for stocks. I am pretty sure they take Canadian customers but you should ask to make sure. Their website is www.efficientexecutions.com

Put all the money in your accounts into Treasury Notes and deposit them into your account. They get a 95% margin haircut. This way the money is in your name and not in the streets name of the BD.

What's the best bet?
