    Transfer MarginAccount from JointAccount to LivingTrust. Worth it?

    Maybe you should review the NYSE/NASDAQ/OPRA definition of pro-market data. I'm only referring to the cost of market data. I'm not an expert on this and can't be responsible for your choices. I'm just telling you what I know. I know that courts support the wishes of the deceased. A joint...

    Planning for death or incapacitation and your trading account

    This is correct and takes time. You have to show a death certificate and then prove who gets the account. During this time, most brokers would freeze the account. And, a Limited Power of Attorney would no longer be valid after death. I think this is an important issue. I'd suggest individual...

    Are their any pro trading clubs out there?

    I have talked close to 25 managers out of first loss programs because the math breaks down. This is a typical program. E.G. Manager put up $1mm in program. Money is commingled with many other managers and you get $10mm in BP with risk controls. Now you trade and get your returns. Assuming they...

    Are options less regulated than equities?

    They have the same requirements as they are both securities. State laws, FINRA and SEC. I did not really follow the rules you stated.

    Are their any pro trading clubs out there?

    I want to point out that each state has their own requirements of when you have to register as an RIA to accept fees. Just because IB allows it, does not mean you won't be in violation of state securities laws.

    Are their any pro trading clubs out there?

    This would not work. A Hedge Fund is a pooled asset where the investor is allocated toward that manager and their strategy.

    C++ Backtesting to API

    I have to say the most of my automated traders use C++. It is also very common in the industry. When you choose what software you want to code on, you have to consider what broker and API you want to use. In the end, you want to execute not code.

    Transfer MarginAccount from JointAccount to LivingTrust. Worth it?

    Yes, the TRUST has been already created, and paid the attorney fees. Now, the last step is funding the TRUST, and moving assets into it. Look, I'm not an expert on this but have had to deal with a trust after a death of a family member. I thought the point of a trust was to take care of a minor...

    Thoughts on this calendar spread?

    Well, that was my point. Without any expectations of where a stock will or won't trade, it is not advisable to do an option trade for a random reason. It is backwards thinking.

    Trying to understand slippage: 1.6% with Interactive Brokers.

    In this example, "AVGO, ~66B market cap, 3M daily volume => slippage 2.72%" AVGO closed at 274.06. Are you saying that you had a sell stop order during market hours and after the stop was hit, you sold stock 2.72% lower or 7.45 points?
