Yeah I use interactive brokers. I didn't think there were charges, but I kind of had an "oh shit" moment. I learned the hard way that if you are short options and get assigned, you have to pay the dividend and I got punched in the face with that before. But actually, since I am short, I am...

The answer to 1 is 401, the next number is the sum of the last 4 numbers (since 400 is not an answer, your formula is wrong). I am assuming that for a pattern to exist, that you have to be able to quantify it into an equation. So for num 2, you could say that every other number is 6,8,10...

Hey guys, This may be common sense, but I am under the impression that mean reversion beats trends in some environments and vice versa and in fact when one strategy works, the other fails. Good example, I had a friend who was making money trading forex, with mean reversion, but after the US...

Hey all, I'm new to futures trading. I'm currently short contracts in the emini, and I held them past the market close. What are the hidden charges associated with this? 1) Are there dividend related charges 2)are the interest/carry over charges like in forex. Or is it just what the price...

Hi, does anyoneknowofany goodprop firms inseattle? sorrymy darnspacebar isactingwierd.

There are plenty of dutch ladies that already do that! hahaha.

Whaaa? How did you catch this, did you calculate out the values? Was it too high, or too low. Where was the error?

Yo homie, Americans can do the jobs better than other people and they should be paid better. That kid with a sense of entitlement will perform once he gets a bad job evaluation and adjust, if indeed his attitude is effecting him. We aren't born good workers. But then again, there are most...

Here's my take. I think that if I could go back in time, I would do things differently and I wouldn't have taken crappy jobs (I graduated in Dec 2001). I would have moved in with my parents like she did. I would start a home business or something. I would have tolerated my parents. She's...

at my old broker I couldn't see the exchange nor the bid or ask size. I figured that when I put the order in, it would get picked up by an automated system that would calculate arbitrages quickly and that is how it would get picked up quickly. At IB I've only used the SMART system. I was half...

No usually I would get filled right away near the midpoint. I didn't wait for fluctuations in the price. One thing I would have to look at is if the bid ask on optionsfirst was larger to begin with. I feel not really.

Yeah I guess I do have a prob. It is costing me. I don't think it is liquidity. I have to adjust my limit to the bid or ask or very close before getting filled. It is def different from what I was getting before like you guys mentioned which was near the midpoint. I realize if a bid is...

I am using limit orders. I typically don't have time to monitor my orders and change my limit price throughout the day so I want to get filled quickly.

actually about half half. Yeah, I'm having a bad month too. I switched brokers at the beginning of Dec and I thought that was part of the problem.

Ok thanks that was helpful. I guess I will try to be a bit more patient. I was wondering how the smart order would show on the exchange. I mean obvious it can't show up on more than one exchange so I assume then it goes to the most liquid or the e change with the best bid ask spread. I just...

Live. 10-100 contracts. I'll try waiting a bit longer but I used to get fills much quicker was filled quickly on optionsfirst and i've even had to leg into spreads when paying the spread. I figured maybe it was the Smart ordrs that was letting me down. I also have had to modify orders to get...

Maybe I am not being patient enough or something. I am used to being filled quickly halfway or a third of the right away.

Hey All, I'm getting killed paying the spread on Interactive Brokers. I use the SMART order system. At my previous broker, I could usually put an order in that was halfway between the spread. Can someone please tell me what is going on before I change brokers, AGAIN. Thanks. -Steps
