I always thought that "public company" was a term also applied to its shareholders - i.e. the shareholder list was public. This "street name" holding version is all a bit silly, and if your broker fails then you join the queue to hopefully get your shares back. Direct shareholding avoids all...

For my own trading, developing trading systems: Backtesting speed (without survivorship bias) As a tester of systematic approaches since 1999 (albeit with serious naivety then) I'm amazed with the performance of off-the-shelf software can do these days. Previously, an iteration of "change the...

Yes this is quite possible with Python and backtesting packages such as backtesting.py, Backtrader, pybacktest, Zipline etc. If you currently have few skills with Python you might find dedicated backtesting software such as RealTest, WealthLab and AmiBroker will be easier to code and...

We've been discussing this for for a while here: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/withholding-on-publicly-traded-partnerships-effective-1-1-2023.371128/ For the most part, if you're able to exclude MLPs you'll avoid the majority of these types of securities. It was a bit ugly in the...

Perhaps they just fixed their systems to correction apply the margin rates for IRA accounts. Others have higher margins for IRA accounts, such as IB: https://www.interactivebrokers.com.au/ru/index.php?f=233&p=overview "Futures trading in an IRA margin account is subject to substantially higher...

Great interview with Marsten Parker about systemic algo trading and Leo Smigel from Analyzing Alpha:

@andy_p Many index CFDs are derived from index futures, which have extended trading hours versus the cash index. e.g. E-mini Nasdaq-100 futures on CME Globex trade for 23 hours a day. If you're after something that tracks the cash index, perhaps consider trading an ETF (eg. QQQ for Nasdaq-100).

On January 12, during pre-marketing trading to open at 09:30, there were no trades above $136.70 Possibly you're looking at a chart showing bid/ask levels (or a truncated sample of such). eg. the first bid and ask submitted at 4am on XOP was from EDGX (Cboe) showing 120.00 / 199.99 but was...
