ET is the result of the merger 4 days ago of ETE and ETP so I'm guessing that payout is a spurious number generated by IB as a result of a screw up with "The Algorithm's" automated pull of the data post merger. There is no dividend announcement from them for that amount (or for the next 4...

Again all due respect but if wireshark is beyond your ability then your perception of the security of your site is probably flawed. There's no way you can simulate a login without knowing exactly what information is exchanged and how in a normal login. You're essentially saying you are unable to...

Did you use something like wireshark to see exactly what's getting passed?

You can simulate a browser call with curl, but if that's news to you I'd humbly submit that your programming skills are not yet to the level needed to be collecting PII or working with financial transactions.

What is wrong with these people, they've had the Clintons living in their head rent-free for decades! I feel sorry for them, I really do. BTW, I doubt Hillary Clinton has stepped foot in Little Rock for decades but it's quaint how she controls the whole state in some small minds!

Yes, most do. And most also charge commissions, so the percent of their revenue that they get from order flow is smaller than Robinhood, which doesn't charge commissions and thus obtains a mathematically larger percentage of their total revenue through payment for order flow. Even if they...

That's a micro concept, government debt is macro. We don't consider Yellowstone an "asset" with a value that we use to offset our liabilities. We don't even consider a $1B stealth bomber an "asset" that offsets our debt. I picked those examples on purpose because they highlight why we don't. If...

All true and a good example. But given the fact that it would be trivial for the company to enter into a forward contract to hedge most of that exposure, it's a bit of bullshit to blame poor financial results on that. Either you're admitting that as a Fortune 500 company you don't have anyone at...

He's actually real, someone posted his linkedin profile and it's crazy evangelical taliban in a way a Russian wouldn't be able to replicate. He is getting more and more unhinged over the past several weeks, I am a bit worried that he doesn't pull something.

Why not do both at once, far more efficient! I actually haven't looked at the liquidity at night although that's mainly what I trade during the day. Are there MM who will take an order close to mid or is it just dead?

Didn't know that, thanks!

Since you can take either side of a trade and their prices have to at least approximate the underlying this isn't a real issue, i.e. if they set the price 10% higher than current market you just sell instead of buy and close out when they come back to something close to market price, hedge with...

Perhaps one could be interested in conveying the truth and still be concerned about Iran's destabilizing efforts and terrorism sponsorship? The truth is that unlike @Palindrome falsely asserted, Obama didn't "give" Iran $4B (it was actually $1.7 billion but if you're making shit up why not...

My first thought as well, that the compliance department of the firm should have been sanctioned as well.

This was actually all a way for him to exploit his company's internal compensation model. He would buy options for next to nothing and because of the minimum price quote when they marked his position to market internally at his company it showed a huge, but in reality phantom, profit. Since his...

If the market is closed, whatever is showing as a bid/ask is essentially a random number so you would just ignore it. Even with open markets though, if no-one wants to buy or sell something at that moment in time, including market makers, you're going to see the first limit order there which...

Wow, a content free post. I wondered where the Trump supporters were hiding...

It's funny, in the military whenever an enlisted guy started a sentence using the phrase "With all due respect Sir..." what followed was certain to be disrespectful. Perhaps that is the case when you start a sentence with "to be fair"? To really be fair in any such discussion, one would mention...

Yeah, I can't see many situational where not publishing to the COB is in your best interest as a trader. You'll nearly always be able to get closer to the mid in the spread than if you let IB hold it, and I'm not sure there's any situation you'd do worse unless you're doing market moving size?
