why do you bother to live in the UK

An old and arrogant man thinking he is superior and knowledgeable whatever he talks about and wherever he is. Just another stubborn and overconfident duck in the baby pond

Sorry pal, your big mouth doesn't work on me. Bye bye

so the OP just spent some short time in a new country and looked at wikipedia, and now talking as if he is an expert. He must be full of baby powder

no non-US clients?

Okay, so what you guys are saying is the mkt maters trade and hold a box in its entirety. Then wouldn't an equity market maker end up with quite a few money market positions (not like box orders are routed to someone else)?

so how does it make money? I thought IBKR doesn't 'sell flows'? how does its latest zero-commission make money?

I getting what your point is, from a box user perspective, but still behind the scene the dude on the other side gotta look at it from a per-leg view, no? so from his point, what's the point for selling me a 100 call and buying a 100 put from me? that looks little rationale to me? if so, doesn't...

I want the widest box possible to minimize # of contracts, but those little-value ones have very wide spreads right, so the price is worse than liquid ones --> poorer implied interests, then wouldn't it become a commission/more contracts vs spread/less contracts question?

So they trade those no-value options for people trying to do boxes? what else. If those options are purely created for boxes without other economic rationale, the spreads would be substantially higher than otherwise liquid strikes. so how can you compare trading many more liquid strikes vs a few...

While I know how a box works, I don't understand why I can trade totally OTM strikes like 100. I thought we use existing options (that is with open interests) to create synthetic creidt/debit. Can you please explain who and why would those options be traded, besides MM giving me liquidity to get...

Thanks for the headsup. The connection loss seems rather fatal..how is it possible to trade if your connection can be suddenly lost forever. I am planning to spend next year to code some stat trading (mostly pairs) and losing connection whilst legging in will be damaging.

are/were those weird things and unexpected behaviours fatal (ie can potentially wreck pl) ? or connection-related?

It looks like fake. Canada Goose down jacket, selling at a kinda cheap price $499 (black/grey small-size) by a 3rd party seller shipping from China....

I actually have never seen those 3rd-party software/platform like Ninja, Sierracharts etc. Do you have knowledge/experience about them? It is my impression that they are software equipped with historical data for backtesting, charting, etc, provide an easy interface to test basic algos without...

I was seconding your post and referring to the OP's question, actually

I don't understand the question? I see there are some trading software/platform that can easily be fitted and connect to IB to run automated trading, but you are saying you will program in C#. My impression is those 3rd-party platforms are mostly for people who don't program much. Why then not...
