    Ib's Jeff Algos

    Hi Humble Investor, Do you know if there is a parameter to make the Darkseek order only execute at mid or better without a specified limit price (like Crossfinder)? I have tried to use Darkseek with a limit price at mid, but the market often moves and the order never fills because the limit...

    Question about VWAP Orders

    Thanks for your input but this didn't answer my question: whether leaving end time empty = having an end time but selecting "Allow Trading Past End Time".

    Question about VWAP Orders

    Yes, I mean IB's VWAP Algo. My question applies to both liquid and illquid stocks. I thought 1 and 2 were the same for both liquid stocks or illiquid stocks (which might not be fully filled by the specified end time but continue to "Allow Trading Past End Time"). I want to know if it's true. If...

    Fundseeder - my experience

    Is this the default way? If I only want to track the performance from the day I link my IB, while ignoring the previous performance, is it possible? Thanks.

    Fundseeder - my experience

    Does the track record on fundseeder starts from the date the IB account is linked, or from the date of the inception of the IB account? From your post, it appears that it's from the inception of the IB account, correct? Thanks.

    Stockcharts - Missing Friday Data in "Past Data"?

    Restarted the computer and it's still only showing Thu data (as shown below). I actually tried on another computer and it's the same. Could you try http://stockcharts.com/h-hd/?ANGL to see what you get? Thanks.

    Stockcharts - Missing Friday Data in "Past Data"?

    I am using Stockcharts to get historical data for stocks/ETFs. Now is 4AM Pacific Time, Monday 08/14/2017, but the last data point for all ETFs (such as ANGL) in the "Past Data" link is still Thu 08/10/2017. Shouldn't the last data point be Fri 08/11/2017? Why is Friday data missing? Thanks.

    Currency Risk when Buying a Foreign ETF

    Thank you and sss12 for your info, but for this position I want to invest in the European high yield index, while the tickers recommended above, such as IHYU, are tracking other markets. In my original question, IHYG is just an example. I am planning to buy many EUR and CAD denominated funds...

    Currency Risk when Buying a Foreign ETF

    I am in the US and my base currency is the USD. I want to buy 100K Euro of an ETF (IHYG) which is denominated in EUR and listed on the London Stock Exchange. The way my broker (Interactive Brokers) performs the transaction is that it will automatically create a margin loan in EUR for me to buy...

    Global Macro Trading Journal

    Finally read this dude's first post as it pops up on the front page. He thought equities were overvalued in 2011. The market then went up multiple times since then. And he was bullish on commodities in that post, right before a major down trend.

    What Happens to These Semi-anual Gaps for IHYG.L?

    Stockcharts.com says they have already adjusted for the dividends. For example, the chart for HYG is smooth without such semi-annual gaps. I am wondering why IHYG.L is not handled correctly.

    What Happens to These Semi-anual Gaps for IHYG.L?

    (please see the image below) For IHYG.L, there are vertical gaps EXACTLY every half a year, why? I thought stockcharts.com always adjusted prices for dividends/splits. Is this an exception? Thanks.

    If SPY drops 34% intraday but recovers by market close, will SPXL bankrupt?

    By "bankrupt" I mean the value of the assets held in the fund drop to 0.

    If SPY drops 34% intraday but recovers by market close, will SPXL bankrupt?

    This is really the best answer, though I think the options contracts were structured and traded with the investment banks being the counter parties rather than between the opposite funds. Thank you.

    If SPY drops 34% intraday but recovers by market close, will SPXL bankrupt?

    This question is related to 3X leverage ETFs. If the underlying asset drops more than 33.3% intraday but moves back up by market close, would the 3X ETF go bankrupted because of the intraday drop? Or, will it survive, because the drop of the daily closing price is less than 33.3%? Is the...
