Maybe you should use another process to calculate this as it seems like it was wrong 82-85% of the time.

To answer the 1st question, since there are no dark pools or managed routes or internalization in futures, all your orders should be sent to the exchange.

Well, I would never use the work "Fraud". I just asking which description is correct. They can't both be real.

BTW, in this post in August 2017 you had less than $10,000. Now $400K? https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/prop-firm-without-day-trading.312728/#post-4509002 "I don't have measly 10000 USD. Only about 1000 USD."

archeolog108, I do not know enough about your strategy, BIO, experience, risk management or your ability to sell your program to recommend SMA or a fund, but if you are based in the US, a US based operation makes sense to start. Happy to talk one day. We talk to emerging managers often. It...

We have a lot of clients on LVX at IB. I have a few. Waiting to offer it to our Wedbush clients so we have more control over service/support and pricing. As to why more do not use it, it is an option centric platfrom that focuses on option analytics. I personally prefer CBOE Silexx for trading...

Is that LVX? What is your question?

Question. E.G. You are a Retail or institutional customer. You put on a hedged position last month- +1000 AMD 27.50 puts + long 100,000 AMD. You want to cover on expiration. You are busy, not paying attention, etc, and now it is 4:45 ET on expiration and you are not allowed to be long 100,000...

could have been down 6 too.

What makes you think the limit order for your spreads is not on CBOE? IF you direct to CBOE, and they send it, you would see it here. http://www.cboe.com/cob There might be a delay.

Ask IB if it requires Java to display the page.

I'd rather have cash.

After you enter your order at IB, is the 25.03 bid reflected in the market? What exchange was it sent to?

I'm not an expert on this but this might be a Java issue. Try uninstalling Java and then updating your Java on your PC to the newest version. https://www.java.com/en/

Is EX a typo for ES?

Turbo tax for $$79.99 is a "bloodsucking middle man?"

Buy 100 XYZ Limit 10.06 OPN only. The order should be treated like an IOC order for the opening auction. Let's hope that IB targets only the primary or you should choose that. If the stock opens at 10.05 or lower, you will get filled. At 10.06, maybe. You will get filled if the stock opens lower...

That was very confusing and your contributions to your IRA have nothing to do with wash sales. It’s also unclear to me if you’ve been trading in your IRA or an individual account. You should check with a professional, but it’s my understanding that Futures and SPX are 1256 contracts...

I'm not sure. I used to trade convertible warrants. They are priced like options but hard to borrow, so they generally trade with a premium. After I bought a block of warrants, I'd hedge them with shorting the stock. It is not only for insiders.

I was not referring to a MM hedging their book. you buy 100 50D puts and they sell stock, as that order flow is still bearish and needs to be closed at some point. I was referring a long to a convertible bond, Warrant, preferred or stock swap from a take over and other situations where the...
