    Shoud broker compensate the loss?

    I would also like to point out the following: If it is the firm I am thinking of it was an issue with their remote host. Their gateway's never crashed so if you have a stop working there would have been no problems. I realize it sucks to have things like this happen but you are always...

    Shoud broker compensate the loss?

    hmm... Maybe because every firm / exchange asks you if you have every sued another firm. When they ask you to explain and you say because your previous firms servers were down for 30 minutes and you lost money so you sued them they will tell you to get lost.

    Shoud broker compensate the loss?

    312-580-8127 You should have called this number if the others did not work. Every broker even GS & NewEdge are going to have downtime. Oh yeah, and if you do sue your broker for this, expect everyone else to give you a big FU when you try to move to another firm.

    ETF/ETN arb

    I would use the one you are calculating on your own because that only updates on a set time interval. I don't remember the exact number but it might be as much long as 3 seconds. Just use this calculation to make sure your own is correct as they re-balance it every day.

    The latency might not be on your broker's side but the exchange's. The more messages the exchange is handling at one time the higher the latency will be.

    lumber trading

    This is so true this past month. I've been trading lumber for about a year now and the little liquidity that was there has evaporated. These days it can move limit up with no news and less than 500 contracts traded for the most active month. It's definitely not for day trading or someone who...
