I know you are doing the best the situation allows. I would not only recommend a stable faster speed but ethernet vs WIFI. WIFI and slow speeds can cost more more money from bad data and dropped connections than renting office space. WIFI is not only unreliable but can subject your computer to...

Wow. Honestly, modern platforms require more bandwidth than that. As an example Sterling Trader Pro requires a minimum 5 Mbps download speed and at least 1 Mbps upload speed. Even that would require restraint in adding windows. Is there a Library nearby that you can set up in? Many have high...

Yes. https://www.lightspeed.com/trading-platforms/livevol-x/ I would say no. When you log into the CBOE COB on the website, you only see live spread orders not the NBBO. http://www.cboe.com/cob A SMART routed order on IB is held in their internal system only subject to other IB orders until...

Where do you live? I get faster speeds on my cell phone then that but I'm in NY. This is my cell phone without WIFI.

I'm not sure your wording is correct, so I would rather re-state. On Lightspeed Trader, to protect us from maker taker and exchange fees, we offer either SMART routing for equity options with no additional fees and a flat charge for ETFs or choosing an exchange. I can add a process where we...

"I am mostly trading multiple legged option strategies"

You are not. This is for only Lightspeed Trader only where we are not tracking maker/taker fees yet. On Sterling Trader Pro, Realtick and Silexx, those pre-set fees do not apply. I can have them waved for some of my accounts, and track maker/taker fees.

I can only guess about IB, and I would prefer not to. We offer LVX at IB with SMART routing in addition to our offering at Wedbush, where we have more control of service/support and commissions. I can tell you that our SMART router in not "smart". Most are not. Most are designed to route to a...

Would you like to try sterling and change from IB?

Most of our clients use our smart option route but we also offer the choice of routing to the exchange of your choice for the same commission rate. Our smart route avoids most maker/taker fees/rebates and is preferred by most traders.

FNY is a traditional prop firm not one that takes First loss money. You don’t get a job there because you are looking for a good manual trading software.

From just that information, as long as there was no trade through, not an obvious error. Like I always say, never use maker orders with options. Never!

I'm not sure how we ended up arguing about scale, but it is an interesting business decision. The old joke (Not funny one) was, a friend walks up to you and say he has an investment where you can get three times your investment in a year. You say I'm in, and he then asks for $1. Of course no one...

You may close at anytime.

Are you really in Siberia?

trader99, I have posted this before, but it has been a while. We introduce to Wedbush futures. Wedbush Futures allows those with IRAs to open a futures account with the same margin and risk allowed by individual accounts as long as they are opened through a Self Directed IRA company like...

Find a partner that does trade and can match your equity, that you know and trust.

The single most important question is the one I asked. You have a short term trading mentality, Most of us do. If you do not need the money for 5 years or more, IMO just toss money in and don't look at it. I put $50,000 into my daughters 529, at a time when fees were high-4% and the market...

This is a vertical call spread and it will not accomplish what you think. Here they call it a bull call spread. https://www.lightspeed.com/trading-education-center/bull-call-spread/

Wow. Not sure how that helps him.
