    Thinking about starting a small hedge fund

    Compensation formula: 20% of cumulative excess returns above VTI. No aum fee. I keep all of my money in the fund. Style: wherever the alpha is. Enough said. No more than 125% net long tho. LPs can redeem N*10% of their holdings with N months notice. Keep AUM under 100M so I don't have to...

    Manually lending out my shares

    Is there a platform that will let me set a sort of 'limit order' on the interest rate to lend out my shares and actually give me a fill when the rate goes higher than that?

    Bad routing for hidden limit orders

    Very often I'll see time and sales below my hidden bid at other exchanges than where my smart routed hidden bid is. Very often I'll get instant fills by splitting up my hidden bid and manually routing it to various exchanges that smart routing skipped. Their smart routing system should...

    TWS 'quantity by amount' implementation

    It should just divide the amount by the limit price and submit a guaranteed limit order for that many shares rounded down. It shouldn't try to do some just in time cancellation nonsense or prevent you from doing short sales using a quantity by amount order preset. The 'cash estimate quantity...

    Combo orders that don't burn money crossing the spread

    I'm on IBKR because it has the largest universe of stuff to trade. But the non-guaranteed combo order implementation sucks because it crosses the spread. I just want it to have hidden limit orders minimum increment better than the primary, and continuously adjust those to follow the primary...

    convertible bonds visibility

    right now you can only see the convertible yes/no field in the bond description popup on TWS. It should be available as a column in the layout. It should be available as a checkbox in the market scanner.

    What does order book spoofing look like?

    2025: The Year Of Our Lord.

    Electing Trump instead of Biden is net bullish for real GDP and SPY long term because fewer regulatory constraints on aggregate supply. Shorter term there may be a panic sell off.

    IMF warns US must ‘urgently’ address debt burden

    treasuries have no risk premium. They have inflation expectations instead. Taxes are only one tool out of many that can reduce inflation expectations. Continuing to sell off the fed's balance sheet is a more palatable option. Meanwhile rapid GDP growth backed by AI makes the debt to GDP ratio...
