Dark pools were created to avoid HF MM seeing flow. You are responsible for getting the best price for you. Your broker is responsible to follow all related FINRA/SEC/Exchange rules. In this case, that includes no trade throughs. I agree about the market being a mess. However, my issues is...

Many exchanges offer midpoint peg orders. This is not an IB order ticket. It is Lightspeed Trader.

Thx. I did google and that did not come up.

What is IIRC? At Lightspeed you can. You can use your full your full day trading buying power on Lightspeed Trader starting at 4am and exit MOC to less than 2X. I have never asked but it is possible you hold your full DT BP until 8pm.

We had an institutional wire to him and about 4 other traders at Interstate Securities when i was a Clerk/Broker on the AMEX. 1982 to 1984. He trained a friend of mine in the XMI pit. He made him do a point and figure chart by hand on graph paper each day and carry it with him. It was a daily...

Ask your buddy Cramer.

Correct.

The problem with any long or short straddle scalping strategy is that you are saying the market has mispriced ATM VOL. That certainly happens over a short period of time, but you need a process to predict future actual VOL. If futures price movements do not materially exceed (for long straddle)...

We offer RealTick and CQG QTrader which both have bracket orders. I was only able to review the help file for QTrader. It does not have the option with one order to have many target prices. I would expect without automation, multiple order tickets are the only solution.

This thread is like driving by a car wreck. You don't want to slow down and look but you can't help yourself.

Yet it is not a stop loss, as there is no "loss". You are net flat. There is nothing to protect. If you want to buy a break out or sell a breakdown, you can set buy stop and sell stop order to open. There is no reason to have two accounts with margin requirements as a strategy. They ONLY reason...

Do more than one bracket order, each with their own target and stop.

Ok, after this I tap out. 1256 contracts in the US are mark to mark for taxes. There is no difference between a P/L from an open position and a closed one. They are taxed the same. There is no difference between realized and unrealized. Booked profits in one place and not in another are the...

Yes but the post did not ask about options. and why do that at two FCMs?

Why not just be flat.

I did not watch the entire video and I'm going to. The comment made was"the guy describes how he has two separate accounts to be able to be both long and short at the same time." If he is buying futures at one and hedging at another, that makes no sense from a margin perspective and adds...

Gamma Scalping is using options to hedge with futures as the symbol moves up and down, your delta changes. Offsetting futures is not a hedge, it is wash. Buying 10 delta of calls and hedging with 10 future is a hedge.

no.

Why would I be long/short 5 futures at two different FCMs or in two accounts when I can be be flat? Makes no sense.
