Futures gets you that. US brokers can't offer that for equites.

I have not found one future’s CTA that has a day trading strategy that can consistently make 8% per year, let alone 100%+. If you know one, i’d Like to see that. For a guy with $10k account, I still think it is rare. If you can do it, you are the exception.

That is not my experiance. I find the most consistent traders follow, no not fight the trend. As long as you have a good process, both can work.

We care when the response creates a red flag, otherwise they are typical question to meet minimum requirements.

No reason to over complicate this for your own account. I suggest you judge your returns by your net profits/losses for each month based on your beginning equity of the month. If you add or take away funds, you have to adjust for that. Be mindful of taxes but I would avoid the math. If you can...

Part of the "know your customer rule". Every broker asks their own questions that are part of their Written Supervisory Procedures (WSP). Why are you concerned to respond? Bob

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i8949.pdf Gains and losses are based on net proceeds. Please consult a tax specialist. The net proceeds equal the gross proceeds minus any selling expenses (such as broker’s fees, commissions, and state and local transfer taxes.)

The Lime Web portal you referenced focuses on ultra low latency for equity and options, not for futures. As Lightspeed just merged with Lime, the futures side is Lightspeed and we introduce the Wedbush futures. If you are looking for an API for FOREX, we do not offer that, only FX pairs on the...

This is a simple conditional order that Realtick can do with one order. Sterling Trader Pro would require two order and so would Lightspeed. Really not a big deal on Lightspeed to buy the stock first, then use a hot key to enter the stop. Having the target price when executed cancel the stop is...

Not a hard study to do, but for equites, you have to decide what data to use. Do you include just before and after events like earning and other binary events?

IMO, Level 3 is over kill unless you have a process for deriving alpha from it or you are a large player looking to sweep markets.

This might be because you are using a demo environment or have to do with your connection. I suggest you or your developer CALL Sterling or your broker. There is no way anyone in this forum can view data to diagnose the problem. I have clients using the Sterling API as far away as Russia that...

Try another USB port. What version of windows and how much RAM? Could also be a virus.

I thought before you file your 2017 taxes, but you should consult an expert. https://greentradertax.com/trader-tax-center/trader-tax-status/

Assuming you filed for MTM with the IRS. File a MTM form with your broker, so thy know to file the correct 1099.

Yes, the CME shows depth of book with a level 2 feed. Not sure if the Demo has L1 or L2. http://www.cqg.com/products/cqg-qtrader CME also offer a L3 data feed. Not sure if CQG added that yet. It shows each order at each price level vs size at each price level...

Not sure that that means. We provide DMA. Really none of that is accurate.

Would you like a demo of Lightspeed Trader? https://www.lightspeed.com/trading-platforms/lightspeed-trader/platform-features/ We also offer Realtick , Sterling Trader Pro and Silexx. For equity DT, I would use Lightspeed Trader. Bob

Seems like normal market movement to me. 1% moves per day are quite typical for ES. Dipping below and testing another recent low and moving back in the other direction, also normal.

I'm making no prediction on the market. I have no idea where the S&P will be at the end of the year. I'm just going to say that predictions of the market run up ending for a 25% to 35% drop appear on ET often. If you are an investor, you have to take action to protect your savings. Better to...
