    lowest margin requirements

    We offer EZE EMS Pro with their Strategy Server (Pairs Trader). It is a little expensive at $375/Month plus Market Data but is considered a professional level platform used by Hedge Funds and RIAs worldwide. We are one of the few retail brokers that offer it.

    T+1 starts the end of May. Does that mean in a cash account you can do 1 buy/sell each day?

    CASH accounts require waiting for settlement. After hours is still that day.

    T+1 starts the end of May. Does that mean in a cash account you can do 1 buy/sell each day?

    All, you still need to wait for settlement. Whatever day you close your long positions, you will get back your buying power the next day. T+1 is Trade date plus 1 day. Not same day.

    Equities Level 2 For Futures vs Price Ladder

    CME offers both L1 and L2. In that picture, it looks like L2 for Mini Gold where the Account name is "Sterling". We offer a number of platforms for futures with L2 Data. It is very common.

    Why would a 2 day ITM be priced more than a 30 day same strike?

    They are stable, just wide. You can't trust the midpoint on ITM puts and you need to come up with your own value for the spread. In a few days, if you hold it, you will own stock vs your long put. It looks like the stock moved to far away from the strike and you likely lost money. Spreads like...

    Why is record keeping for Futures trades so archaic?

    Hi- Not sure what you need that they do not offer. We introduce to Wedbush Futures. They provide a daily and monthly report in PDF form, emailed to the customer. Their website has a reporting tool, where you can export all your trades in CSV format. When I had an open account, I only looked at...

    How to choose a broker?

    Maybe start with what you need. What asset classes do you want to trade? We do not know if you wish to trade FX, Futures, Stocks/option in the USA or other countries. Your question is very vague. You will need to add more details for anyone her to assist you.

    Mathematical relationship between future and underlying

    I'll skip the math formula for all and just explain. Every future can be bought or sold. It can be used for speculation or hedging. The act of hedging vs the cash asset is what keeps the prices inline. With regard to financial futures, if you short the Future, the hedge is to buy the basket of...

    Order hotkeys by dollar value

    The PDT rule applies to all USA Brokerage margin accounts- both foreign and domestic. You would need to go to a broker outside the USA to avoid that.

    List of Brokers paying Interest on Uninvested Cash

    To me, the big difference between cash and money in a MM fund or T-bills, is you need to be careful not to hold debit balances overnight often, where the interest paid is much less than the interest charged. You need to balance the desire to earn maximum interest with draw downs and typical...

    List of Brokers paying Interest on Uninvested Cash

    Currently about 95 bps. Yes, you can still buy or Fund with a T-bill. Yes, we still offer access to Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund (VUSXX). T-Bill is margined at 90% and the VUSXX 99% (after 30 days). You can use that excess for day trading leverage. Since options are not marginable, no...

    (Non-political question) Anyone planning to short DJT?

    DJT just hit the Threshold list. No more shorting for now. That was to be expected with the high conversion costs. https://www.nasdaqtrader.com/trader.aspx?id=RegSHOThreshold
